IMO: God is invisible (Colossians 1:15), so there is no representation of God the Father in the Temple. Likewise for the Spirit of God.

IMO: "Time no longer" (Revelation 10:6) = "no further delay." "Bema" according to one webpage is Hebrew בימה = "a raised platform or pulpit where the Torah scroll is placed and read during synagogue services."

<Do the ships sailing out to sea still 'sink' below the horizon as they follow the supposed 'curve?> The earth is spherical, hence a ship,.moving away from a viewer, in any direction, will reduce what is seen by the viewer.

David in New Jersey noted: >Moses knew about planet earth when he wrote Genesis.> "Earth" in Genesis 1:1 is Hebrew ארץ (Arets) = "land." There was no no concept of planet earth in the distant past. Ships sailing out to sea would sink below the horizon, which I imagine would suggest a curved...

For example: "And the LORD said unto him, 'Go through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.'"(Ezekiel 9:4). I would view "put a mark"as "make note of." I suppose it could mean a...

ewq1938 noted: <not always>> That passage does not explain the nature of the mark.

Apparently there is a Jerusalem in heaven (Revelation 21:2-3) as well as a Jerusalem on earth.

Anchorite noted: <It worked out very well, for here are you and I, recipients of and believers in the gospel.> I myself came to the faith through Gentiles, not through Jews. The Jewish leaders were appalled when Jesus said, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). They turned him over to King...

David in NJ noted: <The reason why JESUS referred to her as "little dogs" is because of the occult practices she was involved in, which led to her daughter being demon possessed.> Canaanites are semitic, but they are not Jewish, and Jesus was sent only to the Jews. Apparently the problem was...

IMO: o. A mushroom head is spherical, but a mushroom head is not a sphere. o. Measuring the shape of the earth as a sphere, over one location, does not prove that the earth is a globe.

"Marks on the body" was/is a pagan tradition. Bodies are the temple of God, no pagan decorum allowed.

David in NJ noted: <no denying Matthew 15:24> Jesus and the disciples initially went to the Jews, but the Jews rebuffed them, rejecting the claim that a man (Jesus) could be God. See Acts 13:46-48.

Anchorite noted: >"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19)> "Nations" in the Matthew 28:19 is Greek εθγη = "peoples." It is a mistake to fully equate English translation to the Greek word, because the semantic domain can vary. The gospel was spread first in the Middle...

David in New Jersey noted: <Jesus was sent as the savior of all men> Jesus was sent to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24), with the idea that they would spread the gospel. Unfortunately that did not work out so well.

IMO: John the Baptist is the forerunner of a new era that looks to Jesus the Messiah, rather than to the Law.

IMO: The KJV is correct in saying "as it is written in the prophets" because Mark 1:2 is taken from Malachi 4:5 and Mark 1:3 is taken from from Isaiah chapters 3 and 4.

David in NJ explained: <The reason why JESUS referred to her as "little dogs" is because of the occult practices she was involved in, which led to her daughter being demon possessed.> I do not see anything about "occult practices" in the text. Jesus explained that he was sent only to the...

ewq1938 explained: <Gentiles are not dogs in that sense> Jesus said: "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their puppies." (Mark 7:26). That seems a bit perjorative to me, and I imagine it was appropriate, since Jesus was sent to the house of Israel (not to Gentiles).

Regarding Anti-Christ, let us understand: If God hates false prophets, then God doubly hates false Messiahs (2Thessalonians 2:4).

Spiritual Israelite asked: <When did I say "card...doesn't mean you're not saved"?> In your spiritual dreams. If you are Israeli you should be telling me these things, I am but a gentile dog (Matthew 15:27).
