    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Your reply is pathetic Scott. You resort to blaming me because I drew your attention to a blatant contradiction. Your self styled scholarship is not worth a tinkers toss.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Do I really need to rub your nose in it Scott? .....you who claim special insight? Your inability to see is astounding! Look at the highlighted sections of the two verses above and then tell me there is no contradiction.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Compare the accounts of 1 Chronicles 21:1 and 2 Samuel 24:1

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Then why are the same events described by different Prophets contradictory?

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Ignoring the frail human factor maintains misunderstanding and the inability to join the dots well. Yes the prophets are delivering a message from God but it's not verbatim....it is filtered through the Prophets current understanding ....and God does not violate the free choice of expression...

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

    Short sightedness and foolishness are bedfellows proudly on display!

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Your deductions are incorrect as are your charges....a result of self deception!

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Kidding yourself re not interpreting keeps you in the self generated delusion.

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

    Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today? This question is thrashed around infinitum because men want licence to break them.....which might I add is as obvious as a train smash! God's Grace (kindness) is manipulated to suit men's carnal inclinations as if God approves.

    EATING AND DRINKING IN THE KINGDOM

    What do you do with a man who laughs at his own dim wittedness! :doldrums:

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Scott, you're a muddled mess when it comes to interpretation!

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    The prophets had lots of failings yet it didn't mean that they were not valuable. I think of Jonah who did a runner, or Moses who murdered, or Abraham who lied....the list goes on. It's like the parable Jesus told of the husbands who planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants who mistreated...

    When Did Jesus Go to Egypt?

    When Did Jesus Go to Egypt? Before breakfast.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    I think the word 'inerrant' is over rated. It is a word men have superimposed on the scriptures. The fact that Jesus said, 'you have heard said but I say unto you.....' is an indication that what they had heard said was not inerrant as the word is generally perceived and I would ask, where had...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    None of the Prophets had the perfect 'formula'. What they understood was filtered through their culture, ie their knowledge of God and their life experiences which was riddled with dysfunctional views and behaviours....just as ours is even though God spoke to them just as he speaks to us today...

    Sacrifices

    Good observation! It begs another question, was what Moses attributed to the Lord as saying, not what the Lord said?....and How can we know?

    EATING AND DRINKING IN THE KINGDOM

    The misapprehension you doggedly insist on is the implication that I am talking of 'greasy grace' and that what you put out has nothing to do with law. You have fooled yourself with your own construct just as the Jews fooled themselves with theirs!

    EATING AND DRINKING IN THE KINGDOM

    Interesting how you side stepped a direct question substituting it with blame (judgement) without evidence. In other words, no grace! It's a common pattern with the trumpeters of 'law has been done away with, we are now under grace' It's odd how the lack of grace and the implementing of laws...

    EATING AND DRINKING IN THE KINGDOM

    I see you have your own laws!.....Is there any grace towards those who don't?

    Israel Attacks Iran!

    Mass deception is already ensuing. It is ratcheted up by spurious interpretation.
