Yes, because that is what scripture teaches. Wait, no, it doesn't. It says to keep our focus on JESUS and on being spiritually aware of attempts to deceive us. How can some "future new stone temple in Jerusalem" be "the temple of God"? Impossible. The temple of God is always a temple that God...

That was said in direct relation only to Jewish believers. Jesus did not have any Gentile followers yet when He said that. Wrong. The first fold consisted of Jewish believers like the disciples. They were the only sheep/followers Jesus had when He said that. The other fold consists of Gentile...

I disagree. Consider that we are not just talking about covenants in general here. Obviously, not all covenants are put into effect by death. But, we're talking about the old and new covenants here. Do you think the following is referring to the first/old covenant and second/new covenant...

You obviously don't understand how symbolism works. You are acting as if the symbols are supposed to resemble what they symbolize. No, that's not how symbolism works. Mystery Babylon is described as a harlot/woman. Does that mean Babylon resembles a woman? No, of course not. Whatever you think...

Show me the scripture which associates the last trumpet with the fall feasts. LOL. You are silly. What a ridiculous argument. It's not about when a trumpet or woe is last mentioned. The last trumpet is just that. The last prophetic trumpet. The last prophetic trumpet that will sound is the...

I didn't say that it did. I have been saying multiple times that we need to look at other scripture to determine what Revelation 19:11-21 is about. And other scripture like 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 has Jesus descending from heaven when He destroys all unbelievers, as is described in Revelation...

I disagree. Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there must...

Yet, as I showed, those terms are used interchangeably as synonyms in scripture. Unsurprisingly, you didn't address what I said about that. I showed the scriptures where the terms are used in the exact same context. Your response to that? Nothing. What is "the covenant of grace"? Show me the...

That sounds good, but I can't say that I'm sure what that means exactly. I'm thinking now that there isn't actually a separate new covenant and new testament. There's just a new covenant that replaced the old covenant. If there's a new testament, do you believe there is also an old testament? If...

LOL! Look at what you were responding to there. I asked you the question first even before then! Hello?! Wow! You are truly unbelievable. So, even going back to that time I still asked you my question first. This is what I said at that time that you responded to: You responded with a question...

Jesus has not yet come with His angels to gather all people before Him while then separating the sheep from the goats at which point the sheep (believers) inherit eternal life in the kingdom prepared for us from the foundation of the world with the goats (unbelievers) being cast into the lake of...

Hey, buddy, don't ever ask me if I think God made a mistake or if He lied ever again. No one here thinks that God ever makes mistakes or lies, so don't ask me stupid questions like that. I'm disagreeing with your interpretation of the scripture, not with the scripture itself. Do you understand...

No?! You are denying that it will be like the days of Noah in the days before Jesus comes, as Jesus Himself indicated in Matthew 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26-30? That means most people will be oblivious to their lost condition and will just go about their normal lives and then "sudden destruction"...

Who are you to say for what purpose Jesus should have told His parables, including that one? He sometimes gave short parables to make quick, simple points and this was one of them. His point in the Matthew 24:32 (Mark 13:28, Luke 21:29) parable was to give people an indication of how near His...

I made a strong case against your claim in post #121. So, please address what I said there.

Good grief. We are not the new earth. Get serious. I'm having trouble finding anyone left on this forum that I can take seriously anymore. Was it too much trouble for you to quote the verses? I know what 2 Peter 3:13 says since I quote that one often, but I had to look up 2 Corinthians 4:7. 2...

That blatantly contradicts what scripture indicates that things will be like in the last years before Christ returns. Jesus said it will be like the days of Noah before the flood (Matthew 24:37-39). Paul said there will be a mass falling away from the faith and that wickedness will no longer be...

To be clear, I don't really care what you believe, either. It's just too bad that you believe wrongly a lot of the time. Yes, it is. But, you are not.

Are these verses referring to two different things? I don't believe so. Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon...
