    Was the New Testament Originally Written in Greek?

    For @Nancy's funny bone. Has anyone got some Clag Glue to repair the tear in the harmony on this forum in this thread and in many others?.

    Is Jesus the "third temple"?

    Is Jesus the third Temple? Is not this Idolatry on man's part, having a temple to worship? If I remember rightly, Jesus told Israel that they do not have the means to rebuild the temple period and that they will become the laughingstock of the nations around them.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Does God do things the way man might perceive they should be done. You are arguing that God should do all things man's way. Have you been successful in achieving that outcome? I do not think so.

    Prophecy and History

    It is your opinion that I err. The truth of the matter is that your construct as to what happens during the Little While Period at the end of the Seventh Age is in error. Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet and the Kings of the earth are gathered together and imprisoned in a pit for many days...

    Prophecy and History

    You are not the only one who is misguided in this thread. Your evolving timeline that you have established does not fit with God's unfolding timeline of prophetic events that He has said will happen. For those who see the Revived Roman Empire as a possibility of being the fifth segment of the...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Hello Some members in this thread had stated that they worship the God of the "New Covenant," but Christ did not come to change the Old Covenant or the law, the Salvation Covenant has not changed since the time of Adam. Christ's death on the cross has made the Salvation Covenant like new...

    The 70 Weeks Prophecy - The Ezra 6:14 Challenge

    Hello, in #186 I nailed my thesis to the barn door, so to speak, in that post. I explained why the Ezra 6:14 challenge is a furphy in that post. It is a sticking point for many members interacting in this thread. It seems that many of the people in this discussion are approaching or are into...

    Freeing Obedience

    Seems like there is a misconception and misunderstanding about liberty, freedom and free choice. Freedom is a consequence of entering into a right relationship with God. Our Liberty is the ability to act within the bounds of the "law" surrounding that activity. Free choice is the gift that...

    Do you have to submit to elders (anyone) in church today?

    As with all organisations, there are some good aspects associated with that organisation just as there are some bad parts as well. Just as there are some good theological understandings that we can grab hold of, there are other theological understandings that we should avoid at all costs. It...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    People during their earthly life, from when they are born, are already candidates for the second death. If the saints can convince them that they need to repent of their acquired sins, then they gain the prospect of having everlasting life forever. However if they then sin and do not repent of...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    What is the context? When will the saving occur. I would suggest to you that the saints do not go down into the Lake of Fire to save anyone. Jude is speaking about saving people with the fear of their respective destinies. Seems that there is a reading comprehension issue here.

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    It seems that you have a reading comprehension problem as I did address what you had written in this post If you cannot connect the dots in my post rebutting what you had written then the issues and problems lies with you and not me. Shalom

    Prophecy and History

    Oh well I tried to provide the evidence, but if you only consult the translations, then you will miss what the actual context of the source language documents provides. As for your understanding of the Book of Revelations, it misses the mark by more than a country mile. Armageddon is near...

    Don't drink cow's milk ..

    My son in-law, who is into conspiracy theories, and has a tendency to find fault with the respective country's governing political party, sees the "don't drink cows milk" as a misplaced conspiracy theory that needs to be squashed quickly. Oh well, another straw to break the camel's back.

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    Well, from my understanding of Revelation 16:12-16, I believe that it is presently unfolding before us as the kings of the earth are presently being gathered together to assemble at Armageddon in our near future when the Isaiah 24:21-22 judgement of the kings of the earth and the heavenly hosts...

    Prophecy and History

    Actually this was offered: - and it is a part of gathering of the Israelites to God. However, it is also the reason why during the seventh age that it will be easier for the Saints, i.e., Gentile Christians and Israelites, to evangelise and win souls to God. However, passages like Ezekiel...

    The 70 Weeks Prophecy - The Ezra 6:14 Challenge

    The above caught my attention. This is what the ESV provides as sourced from the Biblehub: - 24“Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both...

    So where is everyone from?

    Well, I keep telling people that I live out beyond the black stump. I often wonder why people do not make the effort to visit me. Or you could consider that I live in the dead centre of Australia, but there are too many to list for now. :rolleyes:

    The 70 Weeks Prophecy - The Ezra 6:14 Challenge

    This is what many scholarly members here are also attempting to do. I would like to propose a test for you. In Ezekiel 34:11-16 what is the prophecy that God is presenting in this passage. Perhaps you may be able to enlighten us all with your wisdom with respect to these few verses? Now I do...
