    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    More to the point, you seem at last to be acknowledging that not all Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled at Jesus' first advent, so you were wrong to declare in post #772 that my statement of "There are many prophecies still yet to be fulfilled" was not true. The Isaiah 2 prophecy says...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I don't think that's how the ancient Israelites believed the kingdom would be. For example, they expected their king come to them riding on a donkey (so he was a physical man) who would then reign from Jerusalem, but there has not been, nor currently is there a human king reigning in Jerusalem...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Daniel's prophecy refers to a literal kingdom on the Earth, that God's kingdom will destroy. Daniel 2:39-44 (WEB): (39) “After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of brass, which will rule over all the earth. (40) The fourth kingdom will be...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Paul is talking about the change from human bodies to spirit being bodies - it is nothing to do with kingdoms. When did this new kingdom of God "break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms" on the Earth, which we still see today? :rolleyes:

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    What I said was correct. For example, consider just one prophecy of Daniel (the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream) - Daniel 2 (WEB): Part of the dream: (34) You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Why should I show that? I never said that it wasn't an eternal covenant! I believe it is an eternal covenant, just as you do. I only denied that God could not fulfill the New Covenant, because you said God could not fulfill it. Numbers 23:19 (WEB): God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    No, of course not! What theefaith wrote was though. He wrote, "The covenant cannot be fulfilled". If God makes a covenant to establish something forever, then that covenant has to be fulfilled in order for it to be established forever. If He promises to give us eternal life then His promise...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You want me to give Bible references to back up my assertion that God doesn't break His promises?! Do you have faith in God or not?

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Where what? o_O:confused: What has the angel Gabriel's statement to Mary got to do with the New Covenant, that you say can't be fulfilled? Answer: the New Covenant has to be fulfilled before Gabriel's statement that Jesus "will reign over the house of Jacob forever" can happen.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    If it can't ever be fulfilled then why does God bother to mention it? God doesn't break His promises. You're talking (typing) nonsense again!

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Or as the GNB translates it (Matthew 5:17): (17) "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. Jesus was saying that he had not come to annul the Law (Torah), nor...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Jesus didn't fulfill the New Covenant - he fulfilled the Law Covenant. Matthew 5:17 (WEB): (17) “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Moses was the mediator, between God and the people, of the Law Covenant...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    As an example, you wrote, "The dictionary is run like Hollywood by the wretched Jews". Calling them "wretched" shows your hostility towards them, and your hatred of them. Jesus said, Matthew 15:18-20 (WEB): (18) But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I'm quite sure that the JW's do not deny our Saviour, Jesus. There is no requirement to believe in man-made doctrines such as the Trinity. Romans 10:9 (ESV): (9) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You really are a Jew hater, and a spreader of lies. You should be ashamed of yourself. A Christian should be Christ-like, having the mind of Christ - he should be humble, gentle, patient, loving, speaking evil of nobody. You can't share in Christ's kingdom rule if you have a hatred of the...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    It still seems backwards to me. Surely a better example would be "If you saw a friend start to consider JW's as legitimate Christians, would you try to convince him otherwise, because of your love for him?" I don't consider it a problem! And out of his love for you he might try to convince...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Not according to English dictionaries. To quote from other dictionaries, it means: Discrimination against Jews. Hostility toward or prejudice against Jews or Judaism. The IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) Plenary in Budapest decided to adopt the following working definition...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Eh? "If a friend sees you ... and you do nothing to convine them ... do you love your friend?" This is confusing/poor English! Surely 'them' should be 'him'? Who is the 'they' referring to - the Jehovah's Witnesses? Are you saying that if a person should start to consider JW's a legitimate...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You wrote: Anti-Semitic means "prejudiced or hostile towards the Jews". You claimed, without any supporting evidence (and I could not find any), that the Jews created the Freemasons (which has been accused of Satanism - whether correct or not) and thereby the "menace of communism". They were...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Galatians 3:19 (WEB): (19) Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. Moses was the mediator of the Law Covenant.
