    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    If 2 Thessalonians 2:4 is referring to the physical temple of God, what physical temple of God is that? It can't be the temple of God in Jerusalem, because that temple was destroyed not many years after Paul wrote. It can't be the temple of God in Revelation, because that temple is in heaven...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    True. Verse 6 confirms that the withholder was withholding the revelation of the man of sin.

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Yes. But you said, "Nothing here says lawlessness gets worse or is restrained." So something is restrained. History exegetes the identity. And history confirms the Scriptural lexical arguments by Tertullian et al.

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    2 Thessalonians 2 is not related to the OD. The "man of sin", i.e. apostate papacy, did not begin to appear until after the restrainer, i.e. imperial Roman empire, was "taken out of the way", circa 476 AD/CE.

    So his consistent use of "naos" is insufficient qualification?

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    The apostate "mystery of iniquity" was already working when Paul wrote (2 Thessalonians 2:7). Within less than 20 years of the dissolution of the restrainer, imperial Rome, the apostate papal Roman empire had emerged and begun overthrowing kingdoms, beginning with three (Daniel 7:24), the...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    The ECFs and apologists reveal the identity of the restrainer. So does history. Tertullian (2nd-3rd Century) ON THE RESURRECTION, CHAP. XXIV For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now hinders must hinder, until he be taken out of the way." What obstacle is there but the...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Given that Paul uses "naos" consistently everywhere else, why wouldn't he use it consistently in 2 Thessalonians? And claiming to be God within the Temple of God i.e the Church, is the epitome of deception. What would you call this? “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Paul is consistent in his identification of and distinction between the different temples. No other examples of his within Thessalonians, but plenty outside of it. Paul's "naos" temples refer exclusively to NT believers; collectively, the NT Church. Paul's temples: "naos" spiritual: 1...

    the beast with seven heads and ten horns - the Roman Empire

    Daniel 9:27 began in 27 AD with the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry. Ezekiel 39:9 didn't. :laughing:
