Sorry, I have not been following along with your part of the thread, and that's a big "if"... We didn't live in a perfect relationship with God. We only need to know the difference between good and evil if we intend to change.

I guess you missed it. The answer is, God did not create America to be a godly nation, any more than he created Israel to receive him when he came. The point being...he did just the opposite. A reality you don't seem to be grasping. There is no mistake in God making America the way he has. Nor...

...Third Temple? Where did you get that from?

No...the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Like your own question, then... Why did God send Jesus to his own who did not receive him? The answer is, being wrong about Jesus was and is not, a death sentence...a shame and a sin, yes, but not unto death. Those...

Man, Christ, and all the world, is a manifestation of things on high, in the heavenly realm. As such, Jesus was not created in our likeness, but we were created in his likeness as God. As a man, Jesus was also created in the image of God, or in his own image...thus, his comment that if we had...

We don't "need to be a nation"...we are a body. Perhaps the geographic "nation under God" analogy is not working - perhaps it would be better to remember that we are (intentionally) "wheat among the tares." "He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still...

Perhaps you have misunderstood something here in translation. "Perpetual" is not the claim or belief. As for Mary, the Bible is clear in stating that Mary had not been with a man before the birth of Christ. And likewise, after that it is clear, she did. As for Jesus, the Bible clearly states...

Again, I mostly agree. But I disagree with the idea of One nation under God, and one not. That is not victory. That is giving place to evil in the form of an ungodly nation. Jesus overcame all, and it is he who is dividing the sheep from the goats (not by geography). History will indeed continue...

The best historical evidence would be sightings by Marco Polo in Asia, some 740 years ago.

Your sentiments are appreciated...but show a level of misunderstanding. Sin is not the focus, it is rather, a signpost saying: "You Are Here." The problem is that, unbeknownst to those hearing of our status and fate for the first time, they cannot see back far enough to know where we came...

Your statements are understandable, even somewhat agreeable and true. But that is not the solution. The lack of unity we now see is not incompatible with the plan of God, any more than Christ has set child against parent and brother against brother. There is a godly purpose and method to this...

Like many things commanded of the sons of Israel, tithing was meant as a time of "practice." They did so, that we, by the Holy Spirit, might interpret the meaning of the thing that the practice pointed to: the act of giving [back] to God. The amount was token...not of any actual significance...

No.

Entertaining. But here is the one question the scientific and atheists communities can't answer: What happened before that? Keep asking it and eventually the answer is, "I don't know"...leaving no foundation for the establishment of truth, only contextual assumptions. We know.

The term "believers" has become the common assumed position of those who come to, and follow, God and Christ. However, at the core of the believing community, are those who do not believe by faith at all, but "know" without a shadow of doubt, the truth of God and Christ because of "first hand"...

I don't want to derail the thread, but you have given the answer about the so called millennial reign (above)...but don't seem to understand it yourself. If you too do not want to derail the thread, I will understand if you do not reply. But to clarify, below I have highlighted your correct...

This...is true.

Naomi25, If you enter into this or any debate...a debate you will get. But there is no debate in this matter except in the world. This, and many such topics are simply among those things which God has "confused" among language, and which Christ has placed between parents and their children and...

Hey, Shep -- nice to see you!!
