vassal greetings, I believe keepingthingsreal was considering the idea that the tribe of Benjamin was a part of the southern kingdom. I would be interested in discussing our differences. Maybe we can learn from one another. Terrell

Yes Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant. But the Jews have rejected it. Their eyes have been blinded until the time of the Gentiles has been fulfilled. This covenant was directed to the Jews alone. Because the Jews rejected the covenant, the door for the Gentiles has been opened. There...

You ask who was still practicing sacrifices in 66-67 A.D. It was the house of Israel, the same people to whom the new covenant was to come. Read the verses you provided. 2 Corinthians 3:14-16. The vail is still over their eyes. Paul said my heart's desire for Israel is that they might be...

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his...

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe the entire bible is about Jesus. I believe that Jesus is the incarnate unblemished man who died for my sins 1,991 years ago. I believe that Jesus, as the word of God, created all things. I believe the bible is the inspired word of God...

Sorry you feel that way.

That is exactly my point. There are different kinds of covenants, one of them being a testament. We call it a last will and testament. It is my opinion that the covenant God made with Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:10-11 is a separate covenant pertaining only to Israel. Consider the...

Sipsey greetings, You did not answer the question, why didn't God die after making a covenant with Noah, if all makers of covenants, by necessity, have to die.

NASB20 For where there is a [fn]covenant, there must of necessity [fn]be the death of the one who made it. If this translation is correct you need to explain why God did not die when he made this covenant with Noah. Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be...

I agree with your first chapter. Then I would ask you two questions, does the house of Israel and the house of Judah exist today? Do the Jews have a need of a teacher today? There is a problem with your second chapter, at least for me. The new translations have a habit of changing the reading...

You are absolutely right it is "world". Please give me a definition for "new covenant."

I do not believe the kingdom of Heaven is here now, or has been in the past. Jesus said "My Kingdom is not of this world." (Or age.) It is obvious that not all the prophesies of Christ have taken place. I do believe the larger part of Daniels prophesies have taken place, but not all. I believe...

keepingthingsreal, In our examination of the scripture we can liken it to building a house. One block upon another, or one premise upon another. If one block is faulty, or if one premise is false, then it may be possible that the whole house will fall. I believe our first building block is the...

I can't remember my second source, but I remember what they said. They said, the Roman soldiers were making fun of the Christians, (Most likely urged on by the Jews). The Christians took it as a badge of honor. James Ussher did say it was derived from the Latin. "When Clarence Darrow prepared...

Just two points. First, Ussher did not say he did not know how the word originated. What he said was, "It seems to have been created by some Romans." Second, even if it was recorded in a Greek text first, still its origination is Latin. I had another source which stated it was Roman soldiers...

No you can't believe everything you read or hear. At one time the chronology of James Ussher was inserted in the margins of the King James Bible. It doesn't mean he was always right. He did possess a library of 12,000 books. Many had trust in his words. James Ussher said the following------...

Keepingthingsreal, I removed a good portion of this post not to avoid considering it, but rather to consider one portion of text at a time. Would you agree that the fourth kingdom in both Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 represents the Roman Kingdom? Would you also agree that a "1,000 years" is not found...

Thank you vassal.

Yes, and it was Roman soldiers that gave them the name. I have several historic sources that say it was meant as a derogatory name for followers of Jesus. One of the sources is James Ussher. The fact that it is a Latin name is evidence as well. The Christians took it as a badge of honour.

Christian means to be Christlike. If you are Christlike, you are most likely saved. The name Christian is a Latin word that was derived from Romans soldiers who considered it derogatory.
