    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, dragonfly. Please understand: I am not making excuses for Ya`aqov's descendants. They are reaping the results of their rejection of the Messiah Yeshua` today, and have been for almost 2000 years! HOWEVER, this does NOT negate what Paul wrote in Romans 11. True. Their rituals and...

    Mount Zion in Jerusalem

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. I don't have a problem with the verb being "intransitive, perfect and 2nd person plural," but I DO have a problem with you NOT recognizing the VERB ITSELF! It is the verb proseleeluthate," a form of "proserchomai" (Strong's NT:4334), a combination verb formed by...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shalom, Pelaides. They may be "kosher," but they have a LOT of fat! I'd rather have Oscar Meyer all-beef hot dogs (shameless plug, LOL).

    Mount Zion in Jerusalem

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. You are blinded by the English of that passage in the version you are using. Consider the word that was so translated, the Greek word "proseleeluthate" the third-person, plural of "proserchomai," which means "to come near" or "to approach." "Proseleeluthate" means...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, dragonfly. Sure. Happy to comply. What constitutes "all of Isra'el" are those who are OF Isra'el; that is, they are descendants of Isra'el, the MAN, first known as Ya`aqov (Jacob) before he was re-named, but... don't stop there: Now, the nation Isra'el from the time of the Exodus to...

    The Beast from the Sea; Osama Bin Laden & his prophet. I saw.

    Shalom, Brothertom. An interesting fable, but definitely fiction. First of all, haSatan doesn't have the power to raise ANYONE, not even Osama Bin Ladin, from the dead! Do you remember the plagues of Egypt just before the exodus of the children of Isra'el? The magicians of Egypt were...

    Would the Real Elijah Please Come Forth!

    Shalom, 101G. Please don't sell Angelina short. She is correct, based on the Scriptures: Romans 8:16-23 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with...

    Mount Zion in Jerusalem

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. And, once again, you take a hard left into non-reality. Har Tsiown (Mount Zion) is a LITERAL MOUNTAIN in Yerushalayim, Yisra'el. You can go there TODAY! It's not "spiritual" (THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN!!!!); IT IS REAL!!! Hebrews 12:22-24 is talking about a...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, everyone. The next parable was told within the house to His disciples and those who were with Him inside the house only: Matthew 13:44 44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. See? I KNEW that you didn't know the difference! All four of these words have to do with the breath. The difference is found in 1 Corinthians 15:35-54: 1 Corinthians 15:35-54 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come...

    The Fifth Trumpet Plague

    Shalom, guysmith. First, your logic is flawed and, second, you didn't read far enough: Revelation 7:1-10 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Nonsense. The literal sense is most often the grammatical, historical interpretation of the Scriptures. You don't even know the difference between "spiritual" and "natural." Did you know, for instance, that the Greek word translated "spiritual" is "pneumatikos"...

    The covenant and the building of the temple

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. Nope. That's where YOU'VE made your mistake! It's not the "New Covenant"; it's the DAVIDIC Covenant! It's about the MESSIAH and His right to reign, not about the justification of individuals! I find it EXTREMELY ironic for you to adhere to the New Covenant when...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shalom, Angelina. THREE, when the Scriptures say "TWO??!!!" Hmmm... Methinks somebody is LYING, either one of the three, or John made a mistake!

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, dragonfly. LOL! It shouldn't be that surprising. I am a literalist, after all; so much so, that many might call me a hyper-literalist. I didn't say that there wasn't incorruptible seed nor did I say that there wasn't a promised Seed! I said that there's no such thing as a "SPIRITUAL"...

    If they were.....

    Shalom, Angelina. Actually, that's not quite true. At NO time in either "Testament" does the term "sons of God" refer to "angels" or "supernatural messengers." In the book of Iyowv (Job), these were MEN coming before God at the altar! This is how haSatan was able to come to God, not that he...

    Matthew 13's parables.

    Shalom, everyone. The next parable was the last to be told to all the people outside, the Parable of the Leaven: Matt 13:33 33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. KJV...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shabbat shalom, Arnie Manitoba. Nah, no sense going crazy about it. Everyone God has ever used has had to eat! Even Yeshua` ate! And, typically God's miraculous power is not the prophet's own power to waste it on whatever he would like! Even Yeshua` didn't succumb to haSatan's suggestion to...

    What will the two witnesses eat during the GT?

    Shabbat shalom, guysmith. Locusts and wild honey? Who knows? It doesn't say. However, if they are God's prophets - God's spokesmen for those times, that's HIS concern, not ours. It's GOD'S business! Maybe there will be some widow woman; maybe he'll drop manna specifically for them, to them, and...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, ChristRoseFromTheDead. I call it "spiritualizing" because that's what allegorists call it, although it CERTAINLY doesn't fit! The correct word is "allegorizing" of Scripture - that is, making everything out to be some sort of ALLEGORY or FIGURATIVE SPEECH! Most of the "spiritual truths"...
