    Shalom, Dodo_David. ROFL! I LIKE it! Perfect!

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. Hmmf. NONE OF THE ABOVE. Now, leave my thread alone. Where this thread is SUPPOSED to go is along the lines of how one should believe ALL the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, with the emphasis that THEY placed upon the various accounts they recorded! Not what some...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. I'm not going to be able to change your mind, but neither are you going to change my mind. You CAN count a man twice if the AUTHOR counts the man twice ... and HE DID! Look, here is the list of kings: Matthew 1:6-11 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. Happy Thanksgivukkah! The one time in our lifetimes that we will see Chanukkah fall on Thanksgiving! So, give thanks to God for giving the Light of the world!

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, Dodo_David. I apologize for my part in the above that forced your intervention. Just getting a little too frustrated by how many times I have to say the same thing; meanwhile, the thread is bogged down in a direction I do not wish it to go.

    “THIS” gospel of the kingdom

    Shalom, guysmith. Good! I'm glad you noticed this! The "gospel of the kingdom" is simply the "good news about the Kingdom!" What good news? Isaiah 52:7 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. Luke 3 doesn't contain the KINGLY line! The ONLY king mentioned in that lineage is David! Matthew 1 contains the kingly line! I don't suppose you've ever heard about the four Gospels being compared to the four faces of the keruviym (cherubim) in Ezekiel? Lion = Matthew, Ox =...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, whirlwind. If you want to disagree with me, that's fine. We can just agree to disagree without being disagreeable, but I still believe you've got it backwards. I've counted the generations. I've shown you how to count the generations, and by making Miryam's father "Yosef," you're...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley In answer to your first question, "If the destruction of the temple did not mean the end of the age, and judgment, why did the disciples ask this question after Jesus had said the temple would be destroyed?" one simply needs to THINK about who His disciples were! They were...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, all. Let's continue. Here it is, the ONE TIME in human history when Chanukkah falls on Thanksgiving. (Thanksgiving hasn't been around long enough to have had another such occurrence, and if the USA doesn't survive for another 4,700 years, it won't happen again, since the holiday of...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. Look, brother, I'm trying to be civil about this, but you are REALLY grasping at straws! First of all, "point Z is NOT yet proven to be correct." Point Z represents your CONCLUSION, not the Scriptures, nor does it represent the "end of the age!" Haven't you ever worked with...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. The Scripture is neither wrong nor have you made a mistake about the Temple in Yerushalayim being destroyed in 70 A.D. And, Yeshua` did not lie. HOWEVER, don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you have those particular things correct that it somehow "proves"...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, Rocky Wiley. Yes, one CAN fit Scripture to a future past 70 A.D., and all prophecy, even of Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21, has NOT all been fulfilled. For instance, "many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (the Messiah)" TAKES TIME TO ACCOMPLISH! Frankly, there were...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, all. First, I should make a minor correction. The "et" direct-object identifier is applied to definite objects, not necessarily any object. Names are considered as definite in Hebrew. If the object is NOT a definite object, it can be made one by adding the definite article prefix...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, all. Let's continue: First, we have the genealogy of Yeshua`: Matthew 1:1-17 1:1 This is the genealogy of Yeshua the Messiah, son of David, son of Avraham: 2 Avraham was the father of Yitz’chak, Yitz’chak was the father of Ya‘akov, Ya‘akov was the father of Y’hudah and his brothers...

    Believe ALL of the Gospels

    Shalom, everyone. Much of eschatology ("the study of last things"), a branch of theology which studies the prophecies of Scripture and their fulfillment, is to be found in the words of the Master, Yeshua` haMashiach, Jesus the Christ, the Son of Man and the Son of God. These words are DIRECTLY...

    The War of Gog and Magog: Hezbollah Chief Warns of ‘War’ if no Iran Deal

    Shalom, SelectThis! I do not have experience with the Barnabas Fund (yet), but they are accredited with the ECFA (the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability). You can read about it here: http://barnabasfund.org/US/About-us/ECFA-membership/. Hope this helps.

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, SelectThis! Yes, and I really appreciate what you just brought to the table! Thank you for your input! I've said it elsewhere, and I don't know what you'll make of it because some think the word is Aramaic, but I believe that "Abba" is simply baby talk for "Abiy" (or "Aviy"), meaning...

    Some basic Hebrew as it pertains to prophecy

    Shalom, everyone. I've decided to revive this topic because I still feel it is in everyone's best interest to understand Hebrew, because I believe it will be the "lingua franca" of the Millennium. Let's talk about Hebrew syntax (tachbir). First of all, the word order is not as significant as...

    Temples

    Shalom, dragonfly. I'll answer this last question, and then I'm out of this thread. Sure, I'm serious. PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THOSE THINGS and a whole lot more! And, you're right about those who trust in themselves, as well. Another refusal? I just don't get what the big deal is for you all...
