Jeremiah smashed the pot in the Valley of Hinnon Jeremiah 19

These sorts of esoteric interpretation of prophecy, cooked up in the backroom in one person's head, totally divorced from scrutiny, either scriptural or ecclesiatical, are denounced by Peter. Just to get this straight. Keras is teaching that the entire Middle East is going to be nuked, killing...

The simple fact is Soyeong that the generation in the wilderness were abhorrent to God. No amount of legalism altered their status. Whether they obeyed the 613 laws or not was irrelevant; they were all condemned to die as nomads in anguish. Just like Moses, they were condemned for lack of faith...

Yes, but a standard is a standard. It is universal, impartial, unequivocal. The law is not universal, it only applies to those under it. Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; The Law...

Loooool Below I will show you the sum of all futurist proofs. I've spent years compiling this exhaustive list :help:

Be careful not to waste your time waiting for a non-event. How, out of interest, would I "come against" a prophecy of God? I mean, a non-believer might decry the second coming, but it is not going to change the prophecy is it?

God is not a random chaos generation machine. "Oh yeh, in 4000 years time I am gonna nuke Damascus, Coz I get my kicks like that" The prophecy is done and dusted, and all God's judgments are consequential and Purposeful. The lunatics who whisper in the ears of Presidents about nuking cities...

You are having to juggle with the translation to get the meaning you want. There is no such thing as a "standard of righteousness". Where did you get this? What do you mean by it? You are not really understanding Deuteronomy either. The choice is between blessings and abundant life, And curses...

Paul makes it very clear throughout his epistles, and particularly in Romans, that the righteousness of faith is a different matter to the righteousness that comes by the Law. So, this is a very serious discussion, and as I am very busy I am worried I cannot do it justice. But I am very glad...

Time of the end. Not end of time. You have turned scripture on its head

I fear it will be a new twist on the dodactic laity

The righteousness of the Law and the righteousness of Christ are qualitatively totally different things. An analogy, and it is just an analogy, is that of say elementary algebraic principles, and advanced mathematical concepts in engineering and design. One deals with very basic principles...

Well in absolute terms I think you are wrong here. God did have two standards of righteousness, as the righteousness of the Law is a different thing to the righteousness without the Law. Until we have resolved this, further discussion is moot.

I think the point is that there are higher principles at stake, which really is Jesus' way of showing the inadequacy of the Law. It is the same as there being a no-parking in the hospital ambulance bay rule, but your friend has a severed artery and you park there. The injunction not to swear...

Well you are right, it falls under priestly duty. I see your point
