    NEWSFLASH: Abraham was not a Jew. Neither was Isaac. Neither was Jacob.

    Yes, they are two different wills/testaments. And a New Will/Testament completely replaces an old will/testament upon the death of the testator. Hebrews 9:15-17 That's how wills/testaments work.

    NEWSFLASH: Abraham was not a Jew. Neither was Isaac. Neither was Jacob.

    It was a requirement of God's OT covenant with faithful obedient Israelites (which included Gentiles, Genesis 17:12). But Under God's NT covenant, physical circumcision is no longer everlasting; it is entirely replaced by spiritual circumcision. Romans 2:28,29 For Jew and Gentile alike...

    NEWSFLASH: Abraham was not a Jew. Neither was Isaac. Neither was Jacob.

    If the land is an ETERNAL gift, then circumcision is an EVERLASTING sign. Genesis 17 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose...

    The REAL "man of sin"

    What do you call this? “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum Auctoriatate (On the Authority of the Councils) Bk 2...

    The REAL "man of sin"

    Only to you do they seem unrelated. No one else is complaining.

    The REAL "man of sin"

    I am saying only you seem to think that.

    The REAL "man of sin"

    Are you saying John wrote the whole NT, or just simply not comprehending what FOTG posted?

    The REAL "man of sin"

    According to you, Paul is John, yes? :laughing: If you'd take the time to read your own excerpt from FOTG's post, you'd notice that all of his Scripture references are from Paul's epistles. Paul is fully consistent in distinguishing between "naós", and "hierón" (and "eidóleion"). And Paul is...

    The REAL "man of sin"

    Not by Paul. He uses it consistently to describe the spiritual temple of the believer, collectively the Church, in five instances preceding Thessalonians. And he instead uses "eidóleion" and "hieros/hieron" in instances describing the physical temple. In comparing Scripture with Scripture, it...

    The REAL "man of sin"

    Paul's temples: "naos" spiritual: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    Daniel 9 26 Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing... 27 And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week... Matthew 26 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for this is My blood...

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    How many casualties will there be this time?

    Yes. Do you love the Palestinians now under attack by Israel?

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    I'm stocked up on popcorn. Sozomen (ca. A.D.375-447) "Ecclesiastical History" Book V, Chapter XXII Though the emperor [Julian the Apostate] hated and oppressed the Christians, he manifested benevolence and humanity towards the Jews. He wrote to the Jewish patriarchs and leaders, as well as to...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    John did not speak of a singular antichrist. He identified that as hearsay, and instead enlightened his "little children" that there were already many antichrists. John is the only NT author to use the word "antichrist(s)". A future singular antichrist is a fabrication spawned in the...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    No search necessary. There were already many antichrists when John wrote. The little horn was the predominant one of its era, against which God ultimately called the Reformers into spiritual battle, and against which they prevailed through His grace and mercy. There have been many antichrists...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    A continuing surfeit of hyperspiritualized bilge and bunk. There is a high probability that this is nothing more than a modernist variant of the ancient cults of docetism and gnosticism, which at their core denied physical realities, and against which John explicitly warned. 1 John 4:1-2; 2...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Thankfully, not the dispenplanet. So you think that declaring that the pope "is not mere man, but as it were God" is "differing on a few doctrines"? 1 John 2:18 Greek 500 [e] antichristos ἀντίχριστος antichrist N-NMS 500 antíxristos (from 473 /antí, "opposite to, in place of" and 5547...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    You brought up "preterist". I asked a question to clarify your claim of "preterist". You couldn't answer, so you labeled it irrelevant. And suddenly, you no longer had anything to say about "preterist", to which you had been the first to refer. :laughing: :laughing: Thanks for the guffaws.
