Doesn't scripture say that when they are all gathered back into the land in the end times that it will be under the leadership of the promised righteous Shepherd? It sounds as if you think that God's promise was to gather them back into the land as apostates under the leadership of unbelievers...

That's OK, we don't have to have each other figured out right away. Just keep discussing, asking questions, etc.

Ouch! I bet you didn't mean for that to come across the way it does, but Christ is at the heart of the Bible, not Israel. Israel is small stuff compared to what Christ really wants --- the whole world. God blessed a lot of different nations with might and power and wealth throughout history...

Hold on, something doesn't quite add up. Scripture says God would end their exile and bring them back into the land to live in peace and safety to dwell among them again as Christ their righteousness High Priest (after the order of Melchizadek) and their righteous King of Kings. Not to bring...

I was thinking we could talk about all instances where a "kingdom" is talked about in the NT first and then go from there to match them up. A complete study of "kingdom" talk.

Yep. Both Jews and Gentiles were baptized with water. Both Jews and Gentiles were baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Many Hosea 11 ESV (1) When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. One Matthew 2 ESV (15) and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Singular Genesis 3 ESV (15) I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Plural Romans 16 ESV (17) I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create...

Singular 2 Samuel 7 ESV (12) When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. (13) He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom...

We could start with what Jesus and the NT writers say the kingdom is like. That would make a nice study thread to build upon.

This unusual formation is called the Eye of the Sahara. The circular part of the eye (the iris, so to speak) is about 25 miles wide. Located in the Sahara Desert in North West Africa near the Atlantic Ocean. Home of some rare (and very old) meteorite samples. The following 25 minute...

There's a lot of truth in that. Scripture shows that mankind has failed over and over again. God sends a prophet or judge and folks act right for a little while and then BOOM! they fail. So God sends another prophet or judge and the same thing keeps repeating over and over and over.

That would be one of those half truths of not revealing the whole truth. It's a tactic many use in order to be deceptive but claiming that "technically" it was not a lie. Abraham did it when he said Sarah was his sister instead of revealing she was his wife.

Yeah. For generations we have had folks say "These are very troublesome times, His return must be imminent".

Reminds me of the dilemma ----- Is the glass half full or half empty.

This shows just how committed the boycotters are ..... Red Sox game beer concession stands. ZERO in the Bud Light line while tons wait in long lines for any other beer brand.

This is sooooooo funny! Conservatives are boycotting because they went Woke, and sales are plummeting. Liberals are boycotting because they flinched and backpedaled due to the reaction of Conservatives, and sales are plummeting even more. Meanwhile, Coors sales are rising. ROFL! It's a...

Good to see you too! So many different ways to view it. I suppose that is why debates keep going and going. I have often considered that "air" and "clouds" are not meant to be taken as literal geography, but is meant to refer to the unseen spirit realm. We have scripture that refers to Satan...

Ahh, I see. And it can't be overlooked that infants didn't choose to do it, but it was done to them. That alone should squelch the notion that baptism and circumcision is equated with obedience.

Hey Glory! There is a lot that can be said about the end days. A LOT. And I'm willing to discuss it with you without berating each other or insulting each other for the way we see it because there are tons of well-meaning Christians that view it in different ways but keep on studying it step...
