A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

[Spiritual Israelite]

With your philosophy, you can literally make the Bible say whatever you want, and you do. You have no solid standard trustworthy hermeneutics. You make it up as you go.

Is Jesus a real man?

Why will you guys not answer that?

I'm not sure if he believes any prophecy is fully fulfilled yet. This is terrible and dangerous hermeneutics to resort to this idea that every physical fulfillment of prophecy also requires a spiritual fulfillment. Where does this end? Like you said, you can make the Bible say what you want it to say with this kind of reckless approach to interpreting scripture. That is not spiritual discernment, that is spiritualization gone mad.

You must differentiate between the physical temple of Old Covenant Israel and the spiritual Temple of the New Covenant that is both the body and church of Christ. Why did Christ say the physical temple would be destroyed but be speaking of the temple as His body?

Matthew 21:12 (KJV) And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

For those claiming their spiritual discernment that the temple is Christ's body, I've simply rendered their spiritually discerned interpretation of Matthew 21:12.
