This is not correct. Prophecies are not always understood correctly by those recording them and hearing them at the time they are given. 1Pe 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1Pe 1:11 Searching...

Ezr 6:8 Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king’s expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered. Ezr...

It seems clear from Ez. 43 onwards that the temple was to be operated by the returned Israelites who had been chastised for defiling the destroyed temple with idolatry. They were being given a new opportunity to reconfigure their nation according to a new vision in preparation for the coming of...

Sacrifices of animals was still part of the Mosaic covenant when the Jew returned from exile under Zerubabel and Joshua after Ezekiel's vision of the new temple. The idea that God will reintroduce animal sacrifice after the perfect sacrifice has been offered that is once for all, is absurd...

I was jogging with Jesus the other afternoon and as we were exercising I was discussing baptism with the Holy Spirit. Act 1:5 John baptized with[fn] water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Also Matt. 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16; John 1:33; Act 11:16 baptism by...

Or, arguably, everyone has had sins listed in the Old Covenant removed, carried away by the sin-bearer - Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. And we are now under the New Covenant and are judged according...

This seems quite at odds with the evidence of scripture. When Adam and Eve sinned, God's integrity was not compromised by seeking out Adam and Eve and interacting with them. When Cain slew Abel, God's integrity was not compromised by Him seeking out cain to talk through the issue. When Jesus...

Eph 3:7 Of which gospel (οὗ) I became (ἐγενόμην, aorist middle deponent indicative) a minister (διάκονος), according to/on the basis of the gift (κατὰ τὴν δωρεὰν) of the grace (τῆς χάριτος) of the God (τοῦ θεοῦ) after giving it (τὴν δοθεῖσαν, aorist passive participle) to me (μοι) in accordance...

Moses built the tabernacle according to what He was shown and told as well. Exo 25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. Exo 26:30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount. Exo...

What makes my view a messianic view?

YOu may believe so. I would say that the fear of death is the soul's response to the possibility of one's life ending.

My view is that it was the design of the temple given by God that the Jews were supposed to build, but they did not obey and build it. According to Google search AI "The Second Temple was designed and built in phases. Initially, it was a modest structure, built under the authority of...

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand (ἑστός , perfect active participle, having stood) in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by...

The good news is that God's love for us and His passionate desire to have a loving relationship with you and me is proven by Jesus' willingness to be born as a human being, in order to bring this message to us personally, completely rejecting any violence towards those opposing Him, even to the...

I find solace in all Bible verses. What do you think David meat by לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים , L-"oRek YaMiYM, for-a-long-time, at the end of the last verse of Ps. 23 ?

If the Holy Spirit can come upon a stick and make it into a snake, or can come upon a donkey and make it talk, or come upon Saul on his way to murder David and make him prophesy, why does a person need to be a Christian for the Holy Spirit to sovereignly manifest His power through them to...

Rereading this I see it could be read two ways. I do not mean that the people who were not Christian but sometimes operated in the power of the Holy Spirit, that they had the Holy Spirit within. I meant to identify Christians as also having the Holy Spirit within, while some operating by His...

This is my perspective on "a measure of faith". My confidence in someone vs your confidence in them vs. someone else's confidence in them is the product of our various first-hand experiences of the person and the second-hand information and allegations we have heard about the person. Since those...

Where does the New Testament teach that the Holy Spirit is given only to believers/Christians/spiritual Jews/Messianic Muslims. I agre that if anyone has not the Holy Spirit, he does not belong to the body of Christ. However, it is the negative inference fallacy to infer from that that everyone...

Jesus' purpose in coming was to unite in one body, one household, one commonwealth, the Jews and the Gentiles (Ephesians). He needed to be a law-keeping member of the Hebrew nation, circumcised from the eighth day. But also a member of the Gentiles, uncircumcised from birth before the eighth...
