Nope, the church today is the Temple, but there will be a literal Temple built during the Millenium.
Heb 8:1-3 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
So the temple "the Lord pitched" isn't good enough for the millenium? Supporting Scripture please, thanks!

didn't you just say someone can make payment (take your punishment), but not your responsiblity?
you are responsible for your own sins.
and you have a mountain of them.

ask...we have The Remedy.

no i didn't.
i said adam's fall resulted in him begetting children in his own likeness after he sinned....all of us.

he was created (not born) in God's likeness....but he sinned and fell.
we inherited his fallen nature.

you are responsible for your own sins.

Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

Leviticus 5:7“‘Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the Lord as a penalty for their sin—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

Mark 1:10
Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

If and when there are legitimate sacrifices made, they will be to feed people and to give thanks, there will never be another sacrifice for sin after our Lord and Salvation, Yeshua.

They deny the sacrifice of the lamb.
parently.

Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Isaiah 53:10
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

Zechariah 13:1
"On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity.

Matthew 1:21
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

John 1
35Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

Revelation 21
3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

no more death.

Hmm, What chance does a non believer have in accepting all this as truth when the believers themselves don't even know what the truth is, because I don't see any of you ever agreeing on any subject that ever comes up.

Zech 14
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. [SUP]18 [/SUP]If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Colossians 2
[SUP]16 [/SUP]So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, [SUP]17 [/SUP]which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

Revelation 21
3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

no more death.

A question for anyone, everyone; Did God ever take pleasure in animal sacrafices? I think not! The animals were killed in a very humain way, and it was the priest's food, wasn't it? Something that has not been considered, is Heb.6.4-6, & 10.26 with Rom.3.25, if we sin willingly after we have received forgivness, there is no more sacrafice for sins. 2 Thess.1. 8-9, like the goats that are on Jesus' left instead of on the right with the sheep(Matt.25.33), they will not be put to physical death, but seperated from the "presence of the Lord and the glory of his power". Their punishment sound almost exactly like the punishment of Cain(Gen.4.13-14), who is referred to as who we should not be like in hating our brother. So where will their land of Nod be? What will they eat?

Jesus said if you do not believe even though One rose from the dead you will not believe. I won't make excuses for others but the scripture says that the natural man cannot believe many of these things because they are Spiritually discerned.

The only things you can believe is that you are a sinner, that sinners are condemned and that only by God's grace can you be rescued from your justly deserved condemnation. Beyond this God's Spirit is under no obligation to reveal anything to you. Skeptics are not rewarded for their unbelief.

here we have an article by Mike Blume; as he examines Thomas Ice's assertions there will indeed be Animal Sacrifices in a future Millennial age.

The Heresy of Literal Animal Sacrifices In a Millennium
Mike Blume
Heresy of Literal Animal Sacrifices in a Millennium

and here at Rapture Ready, we have Mr. Ice himself:

Literal Sacrifices In The Millennium
by Thomas Ice
The Thomas Ice Collection

so there's some background.

i'll post some more.
So what happened to "we have been made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ

once for all." (Heb 10:10, 9:28)?

God accepted animal sacrifices from men who were of a contrite heart. God was pleased with the obedience of men who surrendered to God's will fulfilling the ordinances God established. Good men were certainly remorseful at the death of an innocent animal.

How can this be during a supposed future millennial reign? Isn't the millennial reign supposed to be a time of obedience and peace? In the verses below you have the potential for people to be disobedient.

And lotsa folks on this board suggest Christ can't be reigning if there are disobedient people.

[SUP]16 [/SUP]And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. [SUP]18 [/SUP]If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. [SUP]19 [/SUP]This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

And you think that every heathen nation will instantly obey perfectly? That there will not still be human nature in the heart of man? That there will be no sin? If that is the case, why do we read this...

Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Why does Christ give the saints power over the nations idf they are perfect? They don't need ruled over.

Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Why don't you show me where nations are keeping the Feast of Tabernacles. This occurs after verse 4...

Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Care to show me the valley? Last time I saw a photgraph of the area, the Mount of Olives was still there.

Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Zec 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
Zec 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

See Ezek 47 here.

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Zec 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
Zec 14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

That the case today is it?

Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Zec 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Zec 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zec 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

This entire chapter is describing events connected with and just after the Day of the Lord...

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

Amo 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amo 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Amo 5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Joe 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

This has not occurred yet. This is the time that John wrote about in the book of Revelation.

You make an important point here, God instituted animal sacrifices. They were very important...

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

The animal sacrifices were the schoolmaster...


Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

By faith in His sacrifice for the remission of sin...

Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

umm...Elin
that doesn't apply to

1) the mystery middle people who survive the Second Coming and stuff....they live in flesh and procreate and whatnot.
2) the Jews who are doing the sacrificing to maintain their fellowship with God
3) the gentile proselytes in the Millennium (whatever that is).

so no, Jesus' suffering only applies to the Mystery Gap Church thingamajig. sorta.

pick someone who seems to make sense and give it a go.

OR: go buy a bible and just read it and ask God to show you if it is real.

So the temple "the Lord pitched" isn't good enough for the millenium? Supporting Scripture please, thanks!
Eze 43:3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Eze 43:4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Eze 43:5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

Ezek 40 - 42 up to this point is describing the Temple. It can't be Solomon's, notice verse 3 above. When a captive by the river Chebar, Solomon's Temple was already sacked and it wasn't the second Temple...

Ezr 3:12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

Now back to Ezek...

Eze 47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
Eze 47:2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
Eze 47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
Eze 47:4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
Eze 47:5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
Eze 47:6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
Eze 47:7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Eze 47:8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

This river never flowed from under the first or second Temple. It occurs as we read in Zech 14...

Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

This river has yet to flow.
