Douggg, why do you do this? Why do you expect me to answer your questions before you finish answering mine that I asked first? You do that all the time and it's very annoying. Can you just finish answering my question first? It's a very simple question. After Jesus said what is recorded in Luke...

I'm not saying it's talking about all Jews. Just read what I say and don't read things into what I say. I'm talking about unbelieving Jews like the high priests and Pharisees. What happened to them when they were killed in 70 AD was God's wrath and that is what Matthew 22:7 is referring to. Do...

The context of Romans 6:7 is very clear when you look at the surrounding verses along with all of these other verses you showed which talk about how we die to our sin and put our old self behind us when we are born again and saved and begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ during this...

This is a lot of work on my part to try to get you to show me exactly what you think Jesus said between Luke 21:20-24 and Matthew 24:15-22. Can you just tell me that, please? If we were able to combine everything Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse into one passage, which verses of the Olivet...

That's what you think about the parallel passages of Matthew 24:4-13 and Luke 21:8-19, but why do you then have Jesus talking about something entirely different in the next verse of each passage in terms of the timing (Matt 24:14 and Luke 21:20)? Why do you not see the passages as continuing to...

That helps give some idea of how you see the timing of things in the 3 accounts and that's what I was looking for in order to see where you fit each passage in question (Matt 24:15-22 and Luke 21:20-24) in the Olivet Discourse. I think it's very strange that you would think that Matthew 24:4-13...

You're leaving some things out there for some reason. What you said is true, but there's more to it than that. You didn't address the verse I wanted you to address, which I highlighted in red. Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of...

That's unbelievable to me that you can't discern that what happened in 70 AD was God's wrath against the Jews who rejected His Son. How do you interpret this passage: Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a...

I never said otherwise. That matches up with Luke 21:5-6. Right. And that's what is recorded in Luke 21:7-38, also. Yes, it clearly is. Show me your overall understanding of what Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse so I can see how you are coming up with this. It shouldn't be hard for you to do...

The point is that you act like you were there. You act like you somehow know that there were stones left upon another there after the Roman armies were done destroying the city. LOL! I use it every day. You ought to learn spiritual discernment. LOL. I have done my homework and I'm not seeing...

He could do that in eternity if that mattered to Him (which it probably does not). There is no scripture which teaches that, so you are once again just speculating on things. LOL. What? Why would it take that long for Jesus to clarify all these things? That shows a lack of respect for Him. I'm...

This contradicts you saying before that Jesus and His followers would be keeping everyone in line with their rods of iron during the supposed future thousand years. That contradicts free will. You need to make up your mind about this. You either believe that Jesus will be dictating what everyone...

LOL!!! The question doesn't even apply to my understanding of the text! It only applies to yours. You are the one saying Matthew 24:15-21 is not parallel to Luke 21:20-24, not me. Good grief. It's no wonder that you would not want to combine the accounts together to show how you can make sense...

LOL. You are incredibly hypocritical. I guess you don't read your own posts. It's also hysterical how you complain about long posts that WPM makes as if they are too long to read when you frequently make long posts yourself. The hypocrisy flows from you. I can discern that you have no idea of...

That is exactly what Jesus said would happen and it did happen, so stop boring me with your unwillingness to accept obvious truths taught in scripture.

Buddy, this has nothing to do with whether one's eyes are focused on Christ or not. It has to do with spiritually discerning the meaning of scripture. You think believing that Jesus prophesied that the temple buildings standing at that time would be destroyed keeps me from focusing on Christ? As...

Oh, really? Were you there? I don't think so. LOL! Your comedy routine continues. Show me a picture of them. Prove it then. Good luck. LOL. You clearly have never read about what happened in Jerusalem at that time and you are instead just making assumptions based on what you want to be true...

That is not true that each individual pays their own wages of sin when they die. I assume you get that from Romans 6:7? You are misinterpreting that verse. That verse doesn't have anything to do with physical death. Look at the context. Romans 6:1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning...

Stop being a jerk. Everyone but you knows what she meant, so your input is not helpful and not wanted. Go away. She is doing a great service by showing JWs the truth and you just let Satan use you to try to distract from the truth. Support the cause or get lost.

Revelation 22:18-19 is referring to the book of Revelation in particular and not the Bible itself, so I don't think that passage can be used to prove nothing can ever be added to the Bible. Just throwing this out there even though we both know nothing will ever be added to the Bible. So, it's...
