Jesus foresaw the result of the Jews rejecting the long promised Messiah. He looked with tears at the result. Matt. 23:37-38 It was the Romans who levelled Jerusalem, not God. It was wicked men destroying wicked men, not a compassionate God who was pissed off. Matthew 23:37-38 'Jerusalem...

God will act definitively but not in anger or revenge or as popular theology portrays him; itching for his 'pound of flesh'. He will rescue his people and the wicked who live by the principle of survival of the fittest will be the source of their own demise....both rulers and servants, rich and...

Because the straw man is limping and way too small.

Those with ears to hear Jesus, know!

What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like. Straw man!

haha....ahhhhh, the desire for man to categorise. The 'bucket' is never satisfied! Isn't it clear that the only factor Jesus endorses is 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another' John 13:35 ....and I would add, not those who make big noises talking...

God is described in anthropomorphic terms because that's the only way we can get reference. God is neither male or female. God is a unity described in ways so we can somehow get our head around but falling far short of the eternal reality, so we have 'Father, Son and Spirit. Can we even...

ahhhh, a question worth pondering!

You have not absorbed the most basic of my statements in past posts...... evident in your statement above. How then will absorb where value lays in the scriptures?

hello

I know, it's not your logic.....so you dismiss it....making your claim of being Bible students severely hamstrung in their understanding and conclusions....just as the Jews. Matthew 1:23 'The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is...

Jesus limited himself on Earth. He was subject to the weaknesses we are subject to. He put off 'his authority' and lived by faith. Jesus humbled himself and became like fallen man. Now, having revealed the character of God in its fullness, which no other can do except God and revealed it to the...

redundant for whom?

You're assuming it is God who is doing the destroying, Marty. Have you considered other factors?

good questions!

We read an assumption into these texts. They tell us what will occur and we assume it is God who is doing all this destruction. Finding something in these texts you've quoted which disagree with my statement is welcome......and we can talk about it?

When and why will God destroy the world? Why put the onus on God for destruction? What has brought about this assumption? Isn't it the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy? John 10:10....and if it is the thief who does these things and we know it is, wouldn't we expect that he would also...

He did in fact raise himself from the dead. John 10:18 'No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the authority to take my life back again' So where does that leave the other two? Maybe you can explain how God created...

@Hobie What is it that is attributed to God in particular views that does not belong to him? 1.... God kills (even his Son) 2.... God requires blood sacrifice to appease his wrath and before he will forgive. 3.... Payback from God is coming 4.... God hates certain people 5.... Our poor...

Here is a something to consider Hobie. It is in illustration form. Here is the text I am bouncing off..... 'Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird'. When someone insists and...
