I have nothing to apologize for. If your idealistic world was a reality, then Christian persecution would be non-existant, unfortunately, as you have shown, that is not the case.

It is exactly my point.

19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. A good website to see how our brothers and sisters are treated in the rest of the world, not better at all, more believers are killed today than any other time in history. http://www.persecution.org/

It's possible because men are evil, Aspen. I can not even believe we are having this conversation, do you need proof the world is evil and there are atrocities and iniquities going on every second of everyday? Because you have a neighbor that doesn't want to kill you means the rest of the world...

It seems to me, in your OP, sin is downplayed and overlooked, as you stated our sins are not counted against us. Our past sins were forgiven, not our future sins, if it were so, there would be no need to confess them 1 John 9:1 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us...

Of course it's worse off today. It doesn't have anything to do with what God has done - He is perfect! It is what men have done through their free will.

He paid for our past sins, our future sins are not forgiven until there is a true repentance. Do not sin, but if anyone does, He should ask God for forgiveness and God is faithful and will forgive them. If our sins are not counted...the purpose of that scripture would be what?

Maranatha!

Did you read the posts? No one said Jesus wasn't coming - of course He is.

Aspen, Is Jesus God or not? Whose words are in the Bible? 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor...

Yes.

It's meaningless to favor sin? In whose eyes?

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (Joh 17:3 KJV) Do you know Him? If so, your eternal life has already started. Which means, it is no longer you that lives, but Christ living in you, the body is the temple of God, He...

In Ezekiel 40:3, he is measuring the new temple of God, he is to speak of the coming glory of God's temple, the New Testament tells us what that new temple is, Zecheriah speaks of God being the pillar of fire around, declares the Lord, He will be the glory in the midst. In the Revelation, the...

I believe that the Church is Israel today, so the idea of God placing a prophecy in the Bible about a 3rd physical temple built by non-believers, doesn't make sense to me. The Bible speaks always of His people and pointing them to Christ, non-believing jews are no longer "His people", until and...

You are confused because I used the word "hebrew"..... The Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by God, the words written in the Bible are from God. The old testament was written in Hebrew - it doesn't mean it was inspired by any particular hebrew. In the Bible - the written Word of God...

:blink: What??? Why are you yelling? If you don't believe what is written in the Bible, regardless of who scribed it, then there is nothing left to say.

Like it or not, this definition of fear is what the Hebrew's meant when they wrote it down, which is now called the Bible - look it up in Strong's Concordance. Why do people take away from what the Hebrews meant? When people do this, they entirely change the meaning of the Bible and they change...

The strong delusion is for believers, not non-believers - are they not already deluded? I do understand the non-believing jews still believe they are under the OT. The physical temple and sacrifices were a shadow of what was to come, so basically what is being said is that God wants to...
