  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If they did manage to build it, how do you suppose they are going to fulfill any prophecies recorded in the NT when they reject the NT as holy writ?

I for one believe the 70th week in Daniel 9 is future still. What I don't believe is that any of those events are meaning in a literal sense where it might involve literal brick and mortar temples, etc. To me it seems silly that a literal temple gets built, animal sacrificing starts up again, then 3.5 years later an abomination takes place in the temple, thus doing away with animal sacrificing all over again. If God still desired animal sacrificing, why did He allow the 2nd temple to be destroyed, then? So that another one can get built in the end of this age in order to fulfill some of these prophecies many are taking in a literal sense? Sounds far-fetched to me, but that's me, I can't speak for others.
God doesn't want animal sacrifices the Jews do and they will build a third temple. Remember for the most part they are still waiting for their savior to come , they didn't buy that Jesus was it. and 70 ad didn't convince them either.

If you guys think 70ad was the end, the 1000 year reign has passed and we now live in the Kingdom then Christianity was one huge flop. And just for the record I don't buy any of that.
