Ahhh, now that you mentioned Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon the Great is in process of bursting onto the scene.

Christianity began with no army, no political party, no courts, no national flag, and no emperor ....and no cheer leaders with short skirts jumping up and down

All the skittles fall, when? .... when the ball hits them in the right spot at the right angle. What is the right spot and angle? when Jesus is known and understood as intended.

What a trick.....dress Jesus up in the fashion of a bygone era so he can relate to?

A.I. is great for helping to spread the word of God. How do you like these? Programmed by? ....do you really think it is by lovers of the Gospel?.....by those who know Jesus?

Were We Educated or Indoctrinated. By its very nature, wisdom escapes the foolish though they deem themselves educated. The narrow, rocky lonely trail is not named as such because it's easy and not fraught with multiple pitfalls.

Now that's the spirit!

Jesus is the Word of God. Misunderstand the importance and the implications of this and the bible becomes a weapon of war to subdue the other. What is achieved in this misunderstanding is the very opposite of its objective.

We all think we know and work from that position. It's a veritable pain in the arse. Paul says this in Philippians 3:8-10 'Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as...

The Gospel tells us that God has forgiven all our sins....the whole planet. This good news now goes out to all. The final result individually is determined by ones relationship with others. (see the story of the sheep and goats....Matt. 25:31-46)

Let's not be worried/ consumed or concerned about what 'other or some people' think or believe. If we did billions of beliefs or thoughts of others become a distraction. What matters is HOW we see/ understand.

It's helpful understanding Hebrew literary expression. Jesus was saying this in your quoted text..... 1 If you forgive others you will also know/ understand/ believe that you have been forgiven. 2 If you don't forgive others you will loose the ability to believe/ understand God has forgiven...

As to the rest to your interpretation, I find it highly questionable....but I guess if you consider your view unquestionable, further understanding on this matter has come to a dead end.

Reference to lengths of time in scripture in this context is not necessarily precise. The 40 yrs expression repeatedly used could mean 37 42 or so on. It's used as a moderate length of time. The same principle could apply to 1000yrs. In this case it would be a considerably extended length of time.

Did you know that those with the mark of the beast are persuaded they are on God's side?

When Jesus said, 'destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days', as we know he was referring to the temple of his body. The physical temple of bricks and mortar, its furnishings, the priests and the rituals associated where only ever shadows of which Jesus was the reality. Hebrews...

I don't want the information for myself. I asked so you can think about the question.

Why blame the family?

I think the trajectory of his teaching which we do have recorded, set the tone for the things he said which aren't recorded. From that I think we can reasonably accurately assess when Pagan views are at odds with the views of Jesus.

I guess in that case, referencing 'some or other people' is superfluous.
