LOL. Again, you are trying to add unnecessary confusion since that's all you can do to keep your false doctrine afloat.

Side step? I was staying on topic and you changed the topic. The question I was getting at is whether God would want animal sacrifices to be reinstated in the future or not. I wasn't talking about whether or not people would try to do that against His wishes. I believe the answer is a clear no...

Scripture does not teach that He will do that. You try to talk about me supposedly ignoring things. You seem to be ignoring the fact that it associates His "rule" with a rod of iron with Him destroying His enemies rather than shepherding them. This is a blatant lie. It is because I properly...

That's Hebrews 7:12, not Hebrews 1:12. Also, it says nothing about the feast of tabernacles. You are making things up there. You are stretching that verse way beyond what it actually says. I don't ignore anything. You are a liar. It's always interesting when people realize they have no...

If you're not making a spiritual interpretation of Zechariah 14, then tell me where is the scripture which speaks of the feast of tabernacles no longer requiring animal sacrifices as was always the case in the literal keeping of the feast of tabernacles? Hebrews 12:22-24 makes no mention of the...

Exactly, Jeff. I used scripture to support my view (as I know you do as well) and he used baseless speculation to support his. It's not hard to see which approach is better.

Are you even trying to get my point? I'm not getting the sense that you are. How exactly are you determining that keeping the feast of tabernacles in the future doesn't require what keeping the feast of tabernacles in the past required? Where is that indicated in the text? Nowhere that I can...

Exactly. Could Paul have been any more clear than he was in Romans 9:6-8 that being a child of God has absolutely nothing to do with one's nationality? How does someone miss that except for their extreme doctrinal bias blinding them from seeing it? Romans 9:6 It is not as though God’s word had...

That is your point, not mine. We obviously differ in our understanding of his binding. We've known that for a long time. Clearly, that is not a point that needs to be made as if we didn't already know that. My argument is not pointless. It would be pointless if I made it to anyone else since...

This is utter nonsense. This is a case of going out of one's way to avoid acknowledging the obvious. Paul was speaking in 2 thess 2:1-3 of a mass falling away from the faith occurring in a later time period before Christ returns at the end of the age just like he did here: 1 Timothy 4:1 The...

LOL. Yeah, that would have to be true that they would be saved as well if God made a covenant with the entire nation. So, yeah, get ready to meet those "hypocrites", "fools and blind", "serpents" and "vipers" one day. If God made a covenant with Israel as a whole then there surely would be no...

It appears that you are not taking the passage literally then. Taking it literally and applying it to the future would imply the reinstatement of animal sacrifices because when observed literally the way it was in OT times, the feast of tabernacles undeniably involves making animal sacrifices as...

What covenant did God make with Israel that included unbelievers like the Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, etc.?

I didn't fail to make a point, you failed to see it. I'm telling you that taking any given scripture passage as written means to take it as it was intended to be understood, whether it's symbolic or literal. You do acknowledge that not all scripture is literal and that some of it, especially in...

The feast of tabernacles always involved that. But, it also involved performing animal sacrifices as sin offerings. Where does it say that the feast of tabernacles would have to be observed again in the future, but they would no longer involve animal sacrifices as was always the case in the past?

That is true. That is associated with Him destroying His enemies when He returns. Tell me how any of His enemies (any unbelievers) will survive that. He never will. You are obviously alluding to Zechariah 14:16-21. Do you know that by interpreting that passage literally and believing it will...

I disagree. When it says "He must reign..." it can mean that He reigns now and must continue to reign until He puts all enemies under His feet. He reigns now. I showed you the scriptures which teach that. Did you read those? Here they are again: Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went to...

Remember, it was Zechariah 14:16 that was being discussed. So, is your belief in future animal sacrifices based on Zechariah 14:16-21 at all or not?

The Bible claims that He reigns now and that we are in His kingdom now. His kingdom does not come with observation (Luke 17:20) and is not of this world (John 18:36). Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him...

Of the time period during which Jesus reigns over all, as He does now (Matt 28:18, Eph 1:19-22) and during which Satan's activities and wickedness in general are restrained (2 Thess 2:1-12) in order to allow for the light of the gospel to shine throughout the world. In Old Testament times, Satan...
