Firstly; It is not on the new earth, for Eternity, that I am showing you there will be a new Temple.Those who suggest mortal sinners will inhabit the new earth and will be rendered clean by reintroduction of the abolished old covenant sacrifices have no grasp of the mission and achievement of Christ, the character of the new covenant and repeated New Testament teaching about the cross.
Please don't waste peoples' time pasting under the guise of 'replying' to someone else.
The moderators have already warned you about such trolling.
If you want to showcase your traditions with scholar-speak, you can do so independently as many times as you wish.
Firstly; It is not on the new earth, for Eternity, that I am showing you there will be a new Temple.
It will be built before Jesus Returns and He will reign for a thousand years from it.
The true fact of we Christians being the Spiritual Temple of God on earth for the Church age, is definitive and I fully accept that.
But the Prophets say in many scriptures how there will again be a Temple in Jerusalem and offerings and sacrifices will again be made in it.
Rejecting these Prophetic Words, is a serious matter, I colors the whole end times scenario in error.
Tell God what He wants, maybe He will agree with your miaows.Maybe it's time to wonder why blood and flesh of innocent animals is pleasing to a holy spirit.
Sounds like you have a 'bob on both horses.' Tell us Keraz, which temple does God dwell in today, tomorrow, and for all time?The true fact of we Christians being the Spiritual Temple of God on earth for the Church age, is definitive and I fully accept that.

Jesus and Paul knew exactly what the Prophets say.Firstly; It is not on the new earth, for Eternity, that I am showing you there will be a new Temple.

Many claim Jesus will literally return and rule "On This Earth" In A Millennium this being false in deceptionFirstly; It is not on the new earth, for Eternity, that I am showing you there will be a new Temple. It will be built before Jesus Returns and He will reign for a thousand years from it.

To argue with people who have fixed and set beliefs on what God wants and what the Prophets have told us, is fruitless.
That no one has mentioned; let alone tried to refute the Prophesies which prove there will be a new Temple, with sacrifices and offerings, shows the paucity of their support and the intransigence of those deniers.
There is hope for all who fail to see and understand what the Lord as planned for the end times:
Only after the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath:
Isaiah 43:8 Bring forth this people, a people whose eyes are blind, whose ears are deaf.
Isaiah 35:4-5 Be strong, fear not; the Lord comes to save you, with His vengeance and retribution. THEN the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Isaiah 42:18-20 You that are deaf; hear now, you that are blind; look and see! Who is so deaf and blind as My servant, the messenger that I send, the one who has My trust?
Isaiah 29:18 On that Day, the deaf will hear and the blind will see.
Isaiah 29:24 Then the confused will gain understanding and the obstinate will take instruction.
Isaiah 32:3-4 Then those who see and hear will understand clearly, the impetuous mind will know and the stammering tongue will speak fluently and plainly.

Sounds like a person that wants to "Silence" his opposition, being exposed is dangerous :)
Same thing communist dictators do in countries like China, Russia, and Venezuela
That's correct, Ezekiel Chapters 40-46 is nothing more than the 2nd Zerubabbel Temple built in 536BC after the Babylonian Captivity, with your claims of it being a future Temple being "False"
Jesus Is The Lord
Christian I fully agree we the Church are the temple of God the Holy Spirit, however scripture strongly suggests a future temple to be built, take noteSounds like you have a 'bob on both horses.' Tell us Keraz, which temple does God dwell in today, tomorrow, and for all time?
not a misquoteI colors the whole end times scenario in error.
You've been following and contributing to the exchanges regarding the papacy, so you can see how 2 Thessalonians 2:4 describes it convincingly.Christian I fully agree we the Church are the temple of God the Holy Spirit, however scripture strongly suggests a future temple to be built, take note
Below you see the word "Temple" and the word "Delusion" found in only two places in my KJV Holy Bible, both instances are in association with a "Temple" with 2 Thessalonians 2:4 showing future events that surround the future second coming of Jesus Christ
Yes scripture strongly suggest that there will be some sort of a temple in Jerusalem, with renewed animal sacrifice, and yes this will be an "Abomination" to the finished work on Calvary
Scripture Clearly Shows This "Temple" and "Delusion" are future unfulfilled
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12KJV
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Isaiah 66:1-4KJV
1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Thanks for the response, you didn't answer the claims made regarding Isaiah 66:1-4, yes a temple/house is being built, yes animal sacrifice is seenYou've been following and contributing to the exchanges regarding the papacy, so you can see how 2 Thessalonians 2:4 describes it convincingly.
You've seen how it exalts itself and declares its popes to be Gods on the earth.
You've seen how it has taken up, and taken over, spiritual residence within the spiritual temple (people) of the Church, declaring itself to be the only true church.
The Reformers recognized these spiritual realities, which Paul had alerted the Church were already beginning.
We should too.
