Well, nobody knows for sure exactly what parts of the law remained a burden on the Jews after the cross. We know what was prescribed for the Gentiles but we don’t have an after the cross list like we do for the Gentiles. We can surmise that circumcision, dietary restrictions, and sabbath...

Then why didn’t Jesus say His coming would be like a bright shining star? That’s how He arrives when He is born, the star that the wise men followed. If you have no issues speculating local lightning can be like a global super nova event then you should have no problems seeing how the flood can...

No it doesn’t, here’s what I’m talking about … Your post 230 “I do not believe a Christian can be zealous of the Old law of Moses.” Your post 236 “There was not a question about Jews converting through the blood of Christ continuing in these ceremonial laws respecting circumcision...

Is not the second coming just like the lightning that comes out of the east, and shines unto the west, which is a local event? And how about Sodom and Gomorrah, that was a local event too.

I’m trying to figure what you view is and how it works with the verses we have been discussing here. You just said in post#230 that a Christian can’t be zealous for the Old law of Moses. I then asked you what law the Jews were zealous for in Acts21:20, and response is what point am I trying to...

I was going to give a thorough response to you about why it’s hypocritical to argue why we should just believe the Bible and accept a global flood yet reject a 70AD coming because there’s not enough extra Biblical evidence for that. I was going to present the problem of people in the early...

He took away or set aside the first prior to the cross, so that He could establish the second at the cross. He forgave sins prior to the cross as seen in Matthew 9:5. The man with the palsy had his sins forgiven, he didn’t need to follow the law or make a sacrifice. The old covenant was set...

Well, that’s a question that only God can answer. It’s kinda like saying why not just simply leave prior to seeing the abomination of desolation instead of having to flee at a moment’s notice. If the earth’s surface was smooth the water would be about 1.6 miles deep. I would say when the land...

Are you suggesting that we take a look at scientific evidence concerning the ark and the flood? Or are you just going to say the whole thing was miraculous and we don’t need to look at any scientific or physical evidence? This reminds me of the conversation we had about you wanting physical...

All the animals were local also. How else do you think a sloth from Brazil could’ve gotten to the ark in time?

Here we go again, I never said the old covenant was valid after the cross. You really need to pay better attention and stop trying to put forth straw man arguments. Now, where in Hebrews 8:6-7 and Hebrews 10:8-10 does it say the old covenant ended? Nowhere! It says the second covenant was...

There is nothing to lead us to believe that humans had spread over the entire globe, they were concentrated and localized. The story in Genesis regarding the tower of Babel implies at the very least that the human custom of staying closely together was both cultural and normative during this...

Well in Acts 21:20 James says “Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law”. What law do you think the Jews were zealous for in this verse?

Ok, do you agree or disagree that it’s possible today for a believer to be zealous for the law? Zealous = 2707 /kataphrontḗs ("a zealous person") is used of "one who is deeply committed to something and therefore zealous – 'enthusiast, zealous person' "

Ok, this is what I’ve been looking for. Your explanation of why the apostles were still following the Law after the cross was because they knew it might lead to the salvation of some of the Jews who continued in the Law. It wasn’t because they thought the Law itself still applied or needed to be...

You’re right, Peter’s vision isn’t ultimately about eating unclean animals, but Peter says “Surely not Lord, I have never eaten anything impure or unclean”. Why would Peter say that if he already knew it was ok to eat unclean animals? Peter’s statement clearly points to him still thinking he...

Interlayered within fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks on all continents are layers of evaporite rock salt (sodium chloride), gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate), anhydrite (calcium sulfate), and various potash and magnesium salts, which are associated with red beds (shales) containing fossilized...

In Acts 10:9-16 Peter has a vision and a sheet containing unclean animals is seen. A voice tells Peter to get up, kill, and eat. Peter’s response is Surely not Lord, I have never eaten anything impure or unclean. Then the voice says Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. That...

But not all the apostles fully understood that the Old was gone forever with the advent of Christ until many years after the cross, as evidenced by James. If someone were to say the law ended at the cross, that wouldn’t be the case then, right? We can only say the law became invalid at the...

Ok, I agree, and I think that was the case up until 70AD when the temple got destroyed. That doesn’t necessarily prove any end time view but I would say that is what Hebrews 8:13 talking about when it says that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Vanishing away happening in...
