    Who nailed Him ?

    In the parable of the vineyard, Christ is clearly equating the vineyard (Jerusalem) with the "kingdom of God." Therefore, when John sees the new Jerusalem "coming down out of heaven", it's clear that the new Jerusalem is the kingdom of God and the people to whom it is given is His church, over...

    Who nailed Him ?

    Jesus and the apostles beg to differ. Well then, Jesus must have been mistaken, too. "Listen to another parable. There was a landowner [God] who PLANTED A VINEYARD [Jerusalem] AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers...

    Who nailed Him ?

    The "they" that parted his garments and casts lots is the same "they" that knew not what they did and it's "them" that Christ is asking forgiveness for from the cross. So who were "they" that parted His garments and cast lots? "They" were the Roman soldiers that oversaw His crucifixion, which...

    Who nailed Him ?

    But Paul said, "I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I beg you, allow me to speak to the people." Acts 21:39 (NASB) I don't understand the argument that suggests Paul was not a Jew when he clearly says he was. Am I missing something here?

    Question about Daniel 9

    You wrote an awful lot in defense of your defenseless view just to be proven wrong by a single word: Tense. If the author of Hebrews - writing some 30 years after the cross - meant to quote Jeremiah to prove the Old Covenant was ended at the cross, why didn't he use past tense? The Old...

    Question about Daniel 9

    "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Matthew 5:18 (NASB) When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to...

    Might want to brush up on Matthew 21:33-46 and Matthew 23 a bit.

    Who nailed Him ?

    It was sin for which He went to the cross willingly. Romans and Jews were both merely the instruments necessary to bring God's plan of redemption for all mankind to fruition. Having noted that, the Jews of the first century had the greater guilt. They bore the greater sin because they knew...

    The Trinity

    Jesus is not the Father but He is God just the same.

    Yep. :clap

    Purpose of the Millennium

    Then you believe the same nonsense Futurists teach. There's not a dime's worth of difference between your view and theirs. At least you're right about one thing: I guess we don't have as much in common as I thought. :shrug

    Purpose of the Millennium

    We've been around this block before. His "second coming" in judgment upon Jerusalem is the return He promised them! I'll walk you through this again: And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they...

    Purpose of the Millennium

    Peter didn't write this letter to Joel Osteen's church. He wrote to the people he proselytized almost 2,000 years ago. See that word "you" above? It's not about you. Peter was on the Mount of Olives when he was told by no less than Christ Himself that He would return before that generation...

    Purpose of the Millennium

    It's very simple, really: Jesus said He would return while some of those He was talking to were still alive. He told the Sanhedrin they would see His "coming on the clouds" (using the same language used in the OT to describe God's coming in judgment upon a nation.) He told His enemies and...

    Purpose of the Millennium

    First, the millenium was not a literal thousand years. Second, it was the roughly 40 year span of time Israel was given to repent and accept Messiah. Peter describes its purpose: The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any...

    Will We Go To Heaven As Soon As We Die?

    Strange since there were no Christians until the Holy Spirit was sent by Christ to set His seal upon all who believe in Him. Hence, not a single "Christian" died before He rose. :(

    Thinking Of Giving It Up

    I know what depression feels like. I struggle with it often due to my physical ailments and stress. It got so bad once, I had to call a suicide hotline: phone in one hand, handful of narcotics in the other. It was a 50/50 shot for me, so I called. Want to know what I've learned from that...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    :toofunny:toofunny:toofunny That's not what I wrote! Read it again! I wasn't suggesting the events of Revelation 19 were fulfilled in the OT! I was telling you that the language Jesus used to tell His disciples of His coming - which you cited! - is consistent with symbolic language in the OT...

    Futurism&TheTemple

    Why do you insist on taking His words in this regard literally, when its clear that this same language in the OT is symbolic of God coming in judgment upon a nation???

    Futurism&TheTemple

    By this time John [of Gischala] was beginning to tyrannize, and thought it beneath him to accept of barely the same honors that others had; and joining to himself by degrees a party of the wickedest of them all, he broke off from the rest of the faction. This was brought about by his still...
