Should we interpret the Bible as literal?

ok, so when ye shall see the army surrounding the city of Jerusalem know that the desolation draweth nigh. so modern isreal is decimated once again? you say that is to come. why must a jew see and be punished for something that he didn't do? the modern jew didn't crucify the son. that is what ad 70 was about.

I didn't eat the forbidden fruit either but we know how that turned out :D

Yikes another gap theory :)

Oh c'mon Rebs I'm talking duality not gaps.
 
So when you do not read the Bible literally and us allegory to teach it gets very confusing.
jesus taught allegorically. I hate that word since its in Hebrew emshel. which is most excellent seen in luke 16, and other parables. literal events or sometimes a simple story to teach a lesson. still done in the temple today.
 
Christ was not referring to the people of that day but to the generation or people who would be witnesses to the events recorded in Matthew 15:15-31.That generation will be those who are witnesses to Christ's bodily return ( verses 29-30)
What is the literal view?

Kathi outside of an interesting discussion .. End Times has little if any bearing on a following Christ. I have been where you are in my thinking/believing. To me it is like christian denominations .. We are brothers and sisters in the Lord no matter the sign over the church door..
 
"Oh c'mon Rebs I'm talking duality not gaps. " sheesh the quote things are gone...
I know just hoping to keep it light :)
 
I just noticed that Jesus was in the Temple when talking about the Temple being destroyed and on the Mount of Olives when talking about his return. Is that significant ?

im I don't recall my kin the jewish nation today. dad which I saw last fathers day ever saying
crucify him!

we aren't held to the blood of jesus , that generation was. to presume that level of guilt upon any jew today is anti-semetic. that is how luther and the rcc justified murder of the jewish people. what we are accountable for is the fact we rejected jesus , and each sin we did. not the regicide that the Pharisees did. they killed him. not the modern jews.

Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

I kinda figured they were walking along from the Temple to Mt Olives ...

I'm guessing to presume you're guilty because of Adam's sin is anti human ?

really, so I should also post that all Italians are guilty of that blood? the Italian language in essence is latin. latin is what is written and what is spoken is Italian. the fact is this
there are these verses that I say by memory.
woe unto ye hypocrites for ye say if ye had been alive in the day of the prophets ye would not have slain them therefore I shall send scribes, prophets unto so that ye may slay them and that the blood of abel unto the righteous Zacharias whom ye slew upon the alter may be upon you. uhm name me a Pharisee? you do realize that the three major sects of Judaism aren't calling themselves Pharisees, saducees and essenes these days. you also forgot this. it shall come to pass that in the last days after I gather you I shall scatter you unto the ends of the earth. I believe that is in joel 2 by implication. and directly stated. read that in context and that isn't a future event in that we have peter saying that is come to past in acts 2. so how can isreal be once again scattered and yet saved?no mention there of a second scattering, a return and then in the future about a promise of the holy ghost. the oft quoted ezekeil 38 doesn't seem to be implied here. this is something else.

im assuming based on that statement most accurately that you believe your son or daughter or dad is accountable for your sin. what does the bible say about that?

No my children aren't accountable for my sin but they die because of Adam's.

Doesn't that go into generational curse stuff?I don't believe in that.

that is because of the sin but theres a specific sin that only those jews were judged for. each time isreal was a judged it listed why they were judged so that when the time came they had space to repent. tis listed why isreal was scattered in matthew 23.

my dad didn't kill isiah, abel, nor zecharias. the Pharisees brought the blood of them upon themselves, they claimed that they wouldn't do that and jesus said because ye will kill me and also will kill the scribes and prophets sent to them to die by the lord they had the blood of the saints. that is why I see revalation 17 as past.
 
Doesn't that go into generational curse stuff?I don't believe in that.
oh that is real. I have lived that. to wit. what my parents didn't or did do is a learned behavior. I have a choice to overcome that or remain in it. that is what is meant unto the fourth generation of them that hate me. but the part im talking about is where the father shall not die for the sins of his son or vice versa.

The Scriptures do not speak of 'the antichrist' here is what the Scriptures say about antichrist ... ( and should be read in context)

1Jn_2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn_2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn_4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Jn_1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

In some Churches today they try to blame every sin and problem on some sort of generational curse.God's warning on future generations is part of the OT law.The answer for today if anyone worries about generational curses is savation through Jesus Christ.How can a child of God still be under God's curse? Romans 8:1.
