It's not possible for a future physical temple to be God's temple. You need to give up on this fairy tale. The two physical temples of God in the past were ones that He ordained and would come and visit His people in. The temple of God now is the church (Ephesians 2:19-22, 2 Corinthians 6:16)...

Did you not read what I actually said? I'm saying that you need to include Matthew 24:35-25:46 and ALL of the Mark 13 and Luke 21 accounts into your framework. Not just the parts of Mark 13 and Luke 21 that parallel Matthew 24:4-34, but all of what is written in them. Are you just not willing...

LOL. I'm apparently speaking to someone who needs to humble himself and learn how to be teachable in a spiritual sense. I'm not impressed with your education even a tiny bit. It means nothing if you've not actually learned what the Bible teaches, which appears to be the case. You seem to be...

For the love of God, will you stop misrepresenting my views already? You've been doing that for about 20 years and you need to grow up already and stop doing that. When did I say that I believe Zechariah 14:3 is about 70 AD? Never. What have I said about it? You have no idea because you don't...

You need to put more effort into studying scripture than this. It's never a good idea to make a doctrine out of one verse. That verse does NOT reject my statement at all. What the verse does say is that those in the church will appear before the judgment seat of Christ, but it does NOT say that...

He's saying that the 12 apostles taught a gospel where all these things he mentioned: "faith, repent, baptize, lay hands & pray" were required for salvation and that Paul taught a different gospel where only faith is required. Which is ridiculous because there is and always has been just the one...

Where? Are you just talking about Luke 3:37 where Enoch is included in the genealogy of Jesus? That's not Jesus talking there.

So, what is your understanding of "the inhabited world" then? Can you try to be more specific? What does this mean in relation to what we're talking about? I removed that comment from my post well before you responded to it, so I guess you started replying well before you posted the reply...

Where? Can you tell me which verse(s) you are referring to here? I'm not really arguing that 1 Enoch should be included in the canon, but, certainly, the text that Jude quoted from 1 Enoch lines up with what scripture teaches or else he wouldn't have quoted it. So, there's no reason to just...

Yes, it is. Once again, you have adopted another view that is in a very small minority. You have several such views. Do you think you have more spiritual discernment than a vast majority of other Christians? The only other ones I know of who would deny that the parable is about the future second...

That is completely besides the point that I'm making. Your continual attempts to turn this into a OSAS vs. NOSAS debate shows that you don't even understand what we're debating here. My point has to do with when we will appear before Jesus to give an account of ourselves and who will be doing...

Your eschatological framework should include Matthew 24:35-25:46. And all of Mark 13 and Luke 21, also. My point had nothing to do with the timing of Christ's return, but rather with not knowing the author of the books. Despite not knowing for certain who the author of Hebrews is, you still...

No, it originates from passages like these from a book that is accepted as holy scripture... Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the...

Do you at least acknowledge that the the thousand years in Revelation 20 could be figurative? It would not be consistent to see a reference to "that day" as referring to a thousand or thousands of years rather than a literal 24 hour day while at the same time not even allowing that the thousand...

How can the inhabited world not have a global scope? There are people living all over the world. What exactly do you think Jesus was talking about in Luke 21:25-36? Why do you think He said "heaven and earth will pass away" (Luke 21:33) in direct relation to what He was talking about, which were...

Psalm 50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. What you're saying here is like saying that we have to accept the number given in Psalm 50:10, which means we have to accept that God only owns the cattle on exactly one thousand hills and does not own the...

That is absolutely false. For one thing, any Greek word can potentially be used figuratively. There is no rule that says only certain words can be used to symbolize something. Also, the Hebrew word "eleph" means one thousand. Yet, it is used figuratively to refer to a large, unknown number in...

Please explain what you mean when you say verses 16-19 involve "ruling with a rod of iron". Explain how you think that will work exactly. Keeping in mind that ruling with a rod of iron relates to this... Psalm 2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a...

Goodness sakes. You are terribly mistaken. You apparently don't even know what faith is. For one thing, repentance and faith go hand in hand and that has always been the case. You can't put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ without repenting of your sins and acknowledging Him as Lord and as...
