Surely the answer is the same regardless of how is seeking it.If someone who believed in God and loved God or at least was searching for God was searching for answers to those questions I would invest my time to give the answers but for someone who rejects God it would make no difference to them if they had the answers I don't have the time to invest.

If you had read my other posts in this forum you would see that I am genuinely investigating the existence of god. The unfulfilled messianic prophesies is one of the hurdles that I, and any other seeker of the truth, need to deal with.
I have posted similar questions on other forums but no one has been able to demonstrate that they have been fulfilled. I had hoped for a different result here.
AL
I'm not sure which post you are referring to. Can you clarify?I answered one of your questions already, what are your thoughts on it?
Is that the one?Of course there are still some prophecies yet to be fulfilled.
Argy, I will take K4C's challenge to answer, to the best of the ability that God gives me, your questions. It won't be till tomorrow however as I've got to get some sleep.
Goodnight...
Your response was...The bottom of #10 is where I answered one of your questions.
For example; in the New Testament the temple is not a literal building, but rather, God's new covenant people are called, the temple of God. So if you're looking for a literal temple to be built or rebuilt it won't be part of God's plan and you would have lost your faith for nothing.
God moves in mysterious ways!Please be patient with me... I just spent the last four hours answering the scriptures for question #1 and when I went to preview it, an error message came up and when I tried to go back to the message it was gone... my patience is being tried today...
I will get back to it later but I have to run some errands now.
Ezek 37:23,24
There is sooo much to dig into with this chapter but I will focus on the two verses in question.
Again we see, as in Ezek 36, that God will cleanse them from their past sins (v23) as they do as God has asked (v24)
Again, no mention of an end of sin but a promise of forgiveness, just as we have.
Ezek 36:25-27 says "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." In other words they will not sin any longer.Ok, here we go again... I will be posting on each scripture given instead of the group.
Ezek 36:25-27
In this chapter we see God relaying to the prophet that He is going to restore Israel to the promised land and that they will come back into a right worship of Him. In verses 25-27 it does not say that there will be an end of sin but that He will cleanse (forgive) them for their past transgressions when they put away their sinful behaviour. No different than what happens for us when we are cleansed (forgiven) through Jesus.
Ezek 37:24 repeats the notion that the statutes shall be kept... "And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them"Ezek 37:23,24

There is no such thing. Nowhere in the OT does it say that the messiah shall come once, die and return a second time. Zeph 3:13,15 are clearly predicting the end of sin when the messiah arrives.Zeph 3:13,15
The language here in thsi chapter is directly related to Rev 18 and is speaking primarily of spiritual Babylon. While the description of the destruction of the literal Babylon was fulfilled in the beginning of this chapter, the primary focus is on spiritual Babylon. The remnant of Israel spoken of in verse 13 is refering to the 144,000 that will stand at the end just before Jesus comes. They have no iniquity or lying tongues or deceitfulness because they have been sealed as righteous and pure for they have overcome through the Holy Spirit as Jesus did. Reference 1 Peter 2:22 and Rev 14:5
A reference to an end of sin here but it is limited to the overcomers that stand waiting for Jesus' return.
It says all his people will be righteous. No sin. Get it?Isa 60:21
The subject of this chapter is God's church, the body of true believers. It seems to cover from the time of Christ to the new earth. So this prophesy was and is being fulfilled as it covers the age of the Christian church.
No real mention of an end of sin here although God does say He will bless them...
