I tried copying the address of the video on YouTube and pasted it into the body of my post and voila', it worked. Piece of cake ... Thanks, Pilgrimer ~

Amen, and amen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8iwFiUaQ1M

As a New Testament historian I understand the passage to be speaking of the Jewish Revolt (the word "apostasia" is used in other 1st century Greek manuscripts for political revolts). The political party called the Zealots led the revolt against Rome that led the nation into destruction. One of...

If so ... how? Thank you, Pilgrimer

But those who are in Christ DO keep the feasts, not according to the oldness of the letter, but according to the newness of the spirit. Which means they are no longer outward ritual observances, but are now inner spiritual realities. And that includes the fall feasts, which have also been...

Gentiles don't get saved and become Jews. Jews and Gentiles get saved and become Christians. In Christ, Pilgrimer

"The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot ..." But read the first three chapters of Jeremiah, they are quite evocative...

I agree with much of what you have said in this post, except I believe you have misunderstood who Hagar represents. Hagar and Mount Sinai represent the Old Covenant (the older brothers/Jews) while Sarah and Mount Zion represent the New Covenant (the younger brother/Jews). The Old Covenant Jews...

The truth is these things can be said of almost any city-state that has ever been prosperous. But there is one description of Mystery Babylon that fits only one city that has ever existed ... "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain on the earth."...

Precisely what aspect of God’s rulership has not always existed? No, it doesn’t mean to set up something that did not exist before. Look at all these uses of the word just in Daniel: Daniel 2:21, Daniel 2:31, Daniel 2:39, Daniel 2:44, Daniel 3:1, Daniel 3:2, Daniel 3:3, Daniel 3:5, Daniel 3:7...

Actually, the New Testament Church did in fact meet on Sundays as evidenced by Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17 and Revelation 1:10 which refers to Sunday as “the Lord’s Day.” The purposes for which they met were 1) for fellowship and communion in breaking bread, 2) for...

I assume you mean the early life of Christ because the Gospels are in fact an account of his life during his ministry. It would not be wise to go beyond what is revealed in Scripture but there is enough recorded to give us an idea of how Joseph must have received the news. He obviously did not...

Glass containers were precious and were used primarily by the wealthy, but even a poorer home might have a small cache of scented oil.

Used to dye cloth purple the Gilboa Iris grows wild on the slopes of the Gilboa mountain and blooms from February to April.
