Of course they are, they have built something like 5 under ground tunnels into Israel, I'm pretty sure they are finding every way to wipe out as many Israelies as they can, with sneaky "underground ways"
Spending time and money making these tunnels, you would think they would invest that money in their people if they cared for them so much as what they claim to.

when Jesus took the cup of atonement during his last Passover supper, they were celebrating God's salvation from Egypt and when Jesus said drink this cup in remembrance of me and when he said this bread is my body, he was making a direct link for him being the final pascal lamb -- for God saves us from the bondage of sin, just as he saved Israel from slavery in Egypt

Isaiah_TheFalse_VoiceInTheDesert, I have read every post (including the scriptures) that you have made in this thread, and I can reach only one conclusion. You have no idea what you are talking about. You need to get out of what ever church or religion that you want to espouse, and prayerfully study the scriptures. When you put off the garbage can that you are using for a guide, and open your Bible with God as your guide, you will understand the scriptures that you have quoted. Until then, I think that I can safely speak for most of us here, it's time to let your thread die.

The New Covenant is NOT fulfilled in the church; it plainly says the New Covenant belongs to "the house of Israel" (Hebrews 8:10). The book of Hebrews refers to the New Covenant to show that the Mosaic system was only temporary and that even the Old Testament promised that one day it would be abolished and replaced by another covenant. The writer of Hebrews indicates that every New Testament believer (born again Christian) partakes of the spiritual blessings of the New Covenant through Christ, but there is one Scripture in the entire Bible where God says that the New Covenant has been transferred from national Israel to the church. The Apostle Paul taught that the New Covenant will be literally fulfilled following the church age (Romans 11:25-27).
What you fail to recognize and understand is the fact that God is NOT finished with the nation of Israel and that His covenants and promises to that nation are unconditional and eternal. The Church inherits the "spiritual blessings" of the New Covenant through faith in Christ...but the national and physical land blessings given to Abraham and his physical descendants (through Isaac, not Ishmael) are not inherited or fulfilled in the Church. It's your hardness of heart against the nation of Israel that has blinded you from this truth.

Here is Amos 5:26-27...
Amos 5:26-27 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Now, please explain to us where God said that star in the passage above had six points? Also, tell us where it says that it was the Star of Saturn.
The truth is, it is not there. You have to add to God's Word in order to make that star six-pointed and the Star of Saturn.

Other translations say the star of remphan. The star if remphan is the star of Saturn. The star of Saturn is a six pointed star, where the star of Venus, or Lucifer is a five pointed star. The book of acts also quotes this passage and more often is translated as remphan
So yes, it I there if you take the passage in context

I am curious as to which versions you say use the word "remphan" in them for Amos 5:26-27? I have 60+ on my Bibleworks and there is only one version that uses anything close... the Septuagint uses "Raephan"
In the KJV, Acts 7:43 mentions "Remphan", but according to the interlinear it simply means idol... not star.

The Christian churches have been there for thousands of years. Why would they get torched now ?
Umar was given a tour of the city, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. When the time for prayer came, Sophronius invited Umar to pray inside the Church, but Umar refused. He insisted that if he prayed there, later Muslims would use it as an excuse to convert it into a mosque – thereby depriving Christendom of one of its holiest sites. Instead, Umar prayed outside the Church, where a mosque (called Masjid Umar – the Mosque of Umar) was later built.

The entire new testament is about the new covenant with the church through christ, which are the Jews who believe Jesus is the messiah (aka Christians)
Even the scriptures you quoted state that. Hebrews 8 for instance talks about how the old covenant is null and void and that we no longer need a high priest in a temple since we have the high priest (Jesus) sitting at the right hand of God in heaven.
What else is Christianity except the continuation of God's story through Jesus and the Christian church? This is basic stuff every Christian should know -- that the new covenant is through Christianity.

Raephan is an alternate spelling of Remphan.
