So God wanted to gather them, yes? So God was not able to gather them, yes? Saying it doesn't make it so. So your interpretation of Scripture is "the word of God"? If that is not what you're saying, then why did you assume that I was trying to find a flaw in God's word? I've been...

Could you provide an example? (Besides the "example" I address next) Yeah, no, sorry, Jesus was, as explained immediately after that sentence, speaking of His body, not the actual temple. He was using veiled language to hide His intentions. It has nothing to do with the temple being...

Bladerunner, you said: I never got an answer to my question. Did God get what He wanted? God willed to gather them. They refused to be gathered. This isn't hard. Did God gather them or not? You're making a distinction without a difference. God willed/desired/wanted to gather them. Did...

To quote @Stripe: Everyone is descended from Abraham https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/humans-are-all-more-closely-related-than-we-commonly-think/

Jewish? No, not necessarily. But we ARE all descended from Abraham, genetically. Israel, not likely, but Abraham yes.

Was God lying in the following passage? “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under wings, but you were not willing...

I prefer when people take their time and thoroughly respond to what I say. Agreed! I'm an equal opportunity debater! Could start a new thread, but I'm not too worried if you ignore it. It's not the topic of this thread anyways. I just wanted to make sure you knew what the Bible said, so...

Those who have been around on TOL a while are some of the thickest-skinned people on the internet, as far as I can tell.

God doesn't know what He will bring about? Again, God, from the beginning, declares the end. He can do that. Indeed. And God knows what He can and cannot bring about, from the beginning. He doesn't need omniscience to do that. WRONG. At NO POINT in that entire passage does Jesus speak...

Saying it doesn't make it so. No, Israel has not existed since Genesis 12:1. Israel refers to both Jacob (the GRANDson of Abraham), and the nation that descended from Jacob, who was given the name Israel. The nation is the people who descended from Him. The patriarchs of Israel are Israel's 12...

So you're saying Lamentations, the Certificate of Divorce from God, was never given to Israel... So Lamentations isn't scripture? Because I'm not understanding how God didn't give them Lamentations while also giving them Lamentations.... ... Also, I find odd your turning to Leviticus to...

I was quoting Paul. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” - Galatians 3:10

No. He DECLARES the end from the beginning. As in, He declares the end, from the beginning. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that [e]it is...

She does according to your view of what knowledge is! The same kind of knowledge that God has about things yet future. The only difference is that He has access to FAR more information than any human ever could in order to make such predictions, extrapolations, etc. That's called "begging...

Your belief is nonsense! Did Jesus mean "this generation," speaking of the generation that was present when He said "this generation," when He said "this generation shall not pass away until..."? Because that's not "a future generation," which is what you are trying to say He meant. Which...

If you circumcise today because the Bible tells you to, then you are cursed to keep the law.

How many of those were Jews by heritage? How many were Gentiles? I'm not concerned about corruption. What I was observing was that one's upbringing would have a significant effect on how one reads the scriptures!

Saying it doesn't make it so! What a load of nonsense! It doesn't even deserve a detailed response! Jesus wasn't lying when He said THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY! He meant EXACTLY what He said! But when circumstances change, God can no longer do that which He said He would do! He...
