    Paul's Gospel

    Hmmm... not quite THAT hard. I like to think my squinting is closer to 'reasonable guesswork' than 'writing fiction.' I've got an interlinear, but it doesn't have Uncials. Which verse(s) that in? Pretty sure I know the other.

    Paul's Gospel

    I can get that out of Acts 7 if I squint a little. Paul didn't actually SAY anything there, but he did hold coats for some fellows who stoned St. Steven. If I squint, it seems he was party to some persecution. That stoning happened after St Steven professed to seeing Jesus in heaven at the...

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    Technically, yes. Pardon comes from the judge or governor. Forgiveness typically comes from the person you wronged, though Biblically it can also be a third-party that "takes" the guilt and deals with it. Atonement covers up the wrong-doing. But that's being pretty technical. The final...

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    Yep. 1Chronicles 6:54 Now these [are] their dwelling places throughout their castles in their coasts, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites: for theirs was the lot. 55 And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof round about it. Yep. 2Samuel 2:1...

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    I'm right. Hebron is a Levitical city. The Levites hold the land rights there. Hebron is also the original capital of Judah. A Levite of Hebron is also a Jew.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    You're conflating priests with Levites. The priests are only Aaron's descendants. Levites include all descendants of Levi, not just the priests. All priests are Levites. Not all Levites are priests.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    Incorrect. Say a man was a Levite from the city of Hebron, then he would also be a Jew, because Hebron is a city of the House of Judah.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    Are you talking about the promises of Abraham's covenant? Are you talking about Moses Law? Or the Judaism that came out of Babylon during the exile? Christianity has the promises of Abraham's covenant - the Son, the adoption, belief accredited as righteousness. None of those things pertain...

    Four horseman in Revelation

    I already gave you something I got from the passage, saying, "The 4 horsemen are at God's command. They aren't agents of a persecutor." Does that seem to be true, based on the passage? I think Revelation was written in two stages. The first stage being a record of several dreams/visions given...

    The Mount of Olives is splitting!

    The Mount of Olives has been splitting for centuries. Also, the Al-Aqsa mosque pictured in the video is not on the Mount of Olives

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    All Jews are Israelites. Not all Israelites are Jews. All Israelites certainly did NOT become Jews.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    Uh... yeah they are. The standard is "part of the kingdom of Judah" through both Testaments. Paul has no problem calling himself Jewish (Acts 22) as a Benjamite. Benjamin is part of the kingdom of Judah. The same applies to Simeon, except there's no famous Simeonite to declare it.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    No. The Simeonites are considered Jews because their tribe belonged to the southern kingdom, which is called Judah. They are not actual descendants of the patriarch Judah.

    Four horseman in Revelation

    Revelation 6: 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and...

    I've missed your meaning. I suspect you've missed mine, too.

    Four horseman in Revelation

    No. The 4 horsemen are at God's command. They aren't agents of a persecutor.

    JESUS DIED ONLY FOR THE NATION ISRAEL

    A Benjamite is a Jew (he belongs to the House of Judah). A Jew is not necessarily a Benjamite. A Simeonite is a Jew (he belongs to the House of Judah). A Jew is not necessarily a Simeonite. As an aside, Simeon scarcely exists as a separate entity after the Torah. His "portion" was scattered...

    Four horseman in Revelation

    God doesn't use weapons against His own church. He uses them to judge nations. Churches do reside among the nations. God has usually given warning to His church when judgment against a particular nation is impending, and told them to flee. That's what happened when He judged 1st-century...
