You are absolutely correct! Churchgoers are completely in the dark in most cases. They've bought lies, hook, line and sinker. I just hope some of these posts will help them to wake up.
Did you get that idea from your "Watchtower Magazine?"

Paul explained that the physical Jerusalem was like the son of Hagar, the servant girl, but the Jerusalem above is free and is the REAL Jerusalem.
This is the introduction to the Pauline policy of Replacement Theology. The truth of the matter is that the son of physical and spiritual Jerusalem are both represented by the son of the free woman Sara aka the Jews.
These things stand as a SYMBOLIC DRAMA; for these women mean two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar. Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem ABOVE is free, and she is our mother." (Galatians 4:22-26)
The son of the slave woman Hagah gave origin to the Muslims and Gentiles in general. Hagar did not mean "Sinai" but Arabia. Sinai meant the place where the Sinaitic Covenant was made with Israel aka the Jewish People. And the New Covenant which was made in Jerusalem with Israel and Judah belonged also to the House of Israel and the House of Judah. (Jer. 31:31)
Have you not seen the references to HEAVENLY Mt. Zion in the Bible? (Revelation 14:1; Hebrews 12:22)
Here, the Pauline policy of Replacement Theology was fully in process.
And where is Jesus today? He is where Paul said he was in his own day. Heavenly Mt. Zion. "You have approached a Mount Zion and a city of the living God, HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, and myriads of angels." (Heb.12:22)
Today, Jesus is dead except for the gospel of Paul who fabricated the resurrection of Jesus if you read II Tim. 2:8.
"For Christ entered, not into a holy place made with hands, which is a COPY of the reality, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us." (Heb.9:24)
And from here, Paul gave origin to the Greek myth of the demigod which is the son of a god with an earthly woman.(Mat. 1:18) Now, please, if you intend to refute what I have said above, I ask at least for the discency to quote the evidences.
You do not know what you are talking about, goofball.
Yes,
Totton is spiritually sick, focusing on tearing people down, instead of dealing with the scripture.

You say we must obey Jesu's commands...but you do not obey His commands
He said you must be saved.....but you are not saved
He said ye must be born again....but you are not born again
He said you must love the brethren....but you do not love the brethren
this thread is about God's kingdom on earth, friend.
You don't recognize it.
What is God's kingdom on earth to you?
When you say forever what authority are you quoting?
There was no promise to Adam of heaven, but there is to us. Jesus said "I go away to prepare a place for you and I will come and take you unto Myself that you might be where I am"
"In My Father's house are many mansions behold I go to prepare a place for you"
He didn't go to Jerusalem did He?
Again He says "blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven....blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth"
Don't kid yourself that you and shackles are meek.....you have fangs when it comes to the church.
So you count yourself OUT of heaven and you talk yourself out of inheriting the earth.
I am wondering why most self-proclaimed Christians object to the idea of the Christian congregation REPLACING Israel as God's spokesman. Wouldn't it be the reasonable thing to do to replace the group that rejected the redemption plan, and choose another group to carry on the work? Can someone answer this?
"Jesus said to them [the chief priests and elders], 'Did you never read in the Scriptures, "The stone which the builders rejected, this became the chief cornerstone; this came about from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes"? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.'" (Matthew 21:42,43, NASB)
"After they [Barnabas and Paul] had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, 'Brethren, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the GENTILES a people for His name.'" (Acts 15:13,14, NASB)

Have nice day. blessings. You now on ignore. Thank you very little.
The Throne Christ now sits on is the same Throne He reigns from when the Kingdom of God reigns over the nations(left) after His return.
Yes, you are the same kind as TL.
You have no idea what God and Jesus are all about.
good day.
Thank you Faither for your perspective.
I understand what you are saying. But what do we say when we evangelize? Jesus commands us to tell to the world about God's kingdom.
We need to know what we are doing to evangelize.
Knowing what we are hoping for as Jesus' followers, it will be convincing to non-believers. At least they know why we are evangelizing.
blessings.

I carry the message to others, because when i do, i feel Him flow through me. I never evangelized to get that feeling, i evangelized and the feeling was there. The problem is, when the feeling isn't there any more and his nature isn't as obvious, will we still carry His message. The message of Grace through Faith! What He did is Grace, what we do is Faithing or pisteuo.
