    Israel

    This is a huge topic. Yes, Christians want to support Israel--"pray for the peace of Jerusalem", and rightly so, it is a biblical commandment. However, there are things going on that are not obvious among the Christian community--or even the Jewish community. That too is biblical. After all...

    Justification from everlasting !

    This would be better said and understood without the double negative. As for the question "When was this cup laid to His Charge ?" It is written (God has said), it was "before the foundation of the world." Yet, the question is not complete without addressing, "How are both the Son and the...

    Justification from everlasting !

    Yes, this is visualized or explained by example, as "silence in heaven for about half an hour" (Revelation 8:1). Which is the creation of times ("a time, times, and half a time"), or rather the dividing of eternity into increments of time. The result of which was space, time, and matter, giving...

    In the book of Revelation it mentions 'a little season' twice.

    To each a little season. "To the Jew first and also to the Greek (gentile)" (Romans 2:10). "However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual" (1 Corinthians 15:46).

    Vision Of Falling Fire!

    Holy fire. It's a good thing. He comes as a thief, most will have no idea. But then comes the end.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    True. Every word from God (all scripture included) is not limited to the context of only one form of literature as designated by, or what seems best, according to men.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    This is what is true.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    The point is--you were wrong.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Oh, I see...you do not believe God's own explanation, saying, "I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things" (Isaiah 45:7). So you blame the scribes and prophets because the raw truth does not agree with your image of God--and then...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    1 Chronicles 21:1 Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. 2 Samuel 24:1 Again the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” What is your big claim of contradiction--"and Judah"--or is it the...

    Is The Body Of Christ The Lamb's Wife?

    Much of scripture straddles the line (the divide) between heaven and earth. Meaning, for instance, "a man" may refer to role appointed to men of the specific image of God, or alternatively, simply to mankind or a man of flesh and blood born of a women. Such is the confusion placed upon all...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    There is no such contradiction. But the language is purposely confuse, in parables and spirit, from the right and from the left. If you want to give an example, I will explain the specifics.

    Is The Body Of Christ The Lamb's Wife?

    No (that is not what I meant). But rather that Christ came out of God, as did we also, as the descendants Eve. Yet, by believing in Him, that He is the Son of God and our salvation, the promise of eternal life, is that He and the Father enter into us and we in Him becoming One as they are One...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    That is not at all true. In fact you yourself have "filtered" your own "current understanding" to say such a thing--which cannot be substantiated. On the contrary, the word of Christ regarding those who are sent by God, is: "it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Obviously you know nothing of how this works, or even comprehend what is written regarding those who are sent...or you would not stand with those who killed the prophets.

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    That is because I am not interpreting (which sounds strange and foreign to those who are).

    Hate begats Hate, the killings of the Representatives?

    While that is true, I suspect that both sides would consider your comments true of the other side. The problem is, that principle alone would implement even God, who hated Esau. The truth is, between good and evil--there is a war going on. Love and hate are a big part of things, but what is...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    No. The words God declared to His servants the prophets are the truth from God, and are only finished just before the end. It is the interpretation of those words and the teachings of men that has been in error. When Jesus said, "You have heard said...but I say unto you" it is that error of men...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    Jesus had announced the arrival of the kingdom of God, ending the era of the natural testament regarding the curse of death following original sin. Stephen's comments were a testament confirming that change...of coming back around to the spiritual (as God is spirit) and these times of spiritual...

    Did God approve or disapprove of the Jewish temple?

    I answered the poll: "Something else", meaning: Yes the Temple was a good thing--but. But it was only for a time. Just as the law of God was first written on stone, but would later be written on our hearts, so too was the Temple first of stone, but then within. Thus, it is also written, "the...
