Ed,

My assumption is they built the altar and did without the ark or the Holy of Holies. It really depends on the teachings they held to.

Ed,

Jesus had no reason to mention it since it was already foretold by Daniel. There is a lot of things Jesus did not mention.

Ed,

Was the ark ever in the second temple?

Ed,

I know that there was some sacrifices on the Mont during the Bar Kokhba revolt and that there was at least two attempts to rebuild that temple by the Jews. One was under the Roman Emperors and the other under the earlier Islamic conquerors. The later was put an end to by Christians and then the Muslims who retook it were not so generous to…[Read more]

Miia,

I presented enough evidence that Ed should know he mistaken about the temple mount situation and he should know that the prophecy of the five empires to come in Daniel considers the Ottoman Empire as a continuation of the Roman Empire. Never less he has not backed off any of his claims even the clear untruths such as the claim the daily…[Read more]

Danny,

You utter vague words and expect us to understand your intentions. I assume that since you state you reject Unitarianism it means you are once again embrace the absurdity the one true God was tempted by evil even as is common to humanity. It is irrational and reason is a gift of God so reject it at your own risk of destruction. That is…[Read more]

@t8,

Kerwin. The Roman Empire trampled the whole world/earth. Yet that world turns out to be the Middle East and Europe. Islam also did the same thing.

According to the prophecy of Daniel there will be only five empires from the time of Nebuchadnezzar to the Messianic Age.
1) The golden head = Neo-Babylonian Empire
2) The silver chest and…[Read more]

Miia,

You are also wrong about when the non-Samarian Jews last performed daily sacrifices.

Judaism 101

Do Jews offer sacrifices today?

No. To my knowledge, no Jews today offer any kind of animal sacrifice or offerings, nor have Jews offered sacrifices since the second century C.E. I have occasionally heard rumors that there are Orthodox rabbis…

Ed and Miaa,

If you check your history you will find that 135 was the second fall of Jerusalem when the Jews were banished from Jerusalem and the last Hebrew was the bishop of Jerusalem. In reaction to the Bar Kokhba revolt the city was renamed Aelia Capitolina as a reference to both to himself and a pagan triad popular among the Romand and…[Read more]

Nick,

You are arguing just to argue. It is not beneficial. Do you have Scripture supporting your claim it is a “basic principal of scripture exegesis”? Frankly, I do not believe you do.

t8,

Why are you implying that the book of Revelation disagrees with the book of Daniel, According to Daniel the statue is destroyed and by the kingdom of God and then the kingdom grows throughout the Land. There is simply not room for the beast in the Lands of the Kingdom of Babylon. Of course there are other places around the Great Sea,…[Read more]

Ed,

I know he is not the false prophet because he is dead and Revelations treats the false as if he were alive. Those who are living now twist his words to support their teachings. There is no remembrance of him anymore.

Let us assume Ecclesiastes is wrong and there is a remembrance of him despite his soul being in Sheol and his body decaying…[Read more]

Nick,

Why do you make up rules that God does not teach you.

We speak of God in the same terms scripture gives us.

Those words are not written in Scripture. They are your own.

The letter kills but the Spirit gives life. Scripture strives to convey Spiritual truths with human words it is those Spiritual truths that is important not the words…[Read more]

Ed,

Mahomet is a false prophet so he is guilt of sin.  He also violated the command to have but one wife as a shepherd of God’ s people but the heresy itself is enough to brand him  as a sinner the rest belabors the point.

Nick,

Any translator could have chosen to translate any word that meant a sentient being to person.  It is a word with a meaning,  When you deny God is a person then you are denying he is sentient.  You already know he is sentient so why argue over  words.  It is called vain argument in Scripture for that very reason.

I tend to credit with enou…[Read more]
