Nort exactly. With all due respect, brother, we obviously see Scripture through different filters. You appear to be concerned with the doctrinal issue while I'm concerned with what can be shown as historically fulfilled prophecy. So to my mind, the real question should be this: Is my original post true and historically accurate or false?
1. If false, then I'm a false teacher. I'll repent and with head hanging, fade into the sunset never to be seen again.
2. If provably true, however, then no matter how painful, we have to get our doctrines in line with observable reality or we are believing in false doctrine.
Peace my friend. I've been teaching a seminar and I'm exausted so I'll have to talk to you lter.

You see, brother, the Church today teaches a doctrinal salvation . . . that you need to have your doctrine right to be saved. I believe that to be false doctrine. All over the Bible we read that God is far more concerned with the condition of the heart then He is with doctrinal accuracy. To paraphrase 1 Samuel 16:7, “Man looketh upon the doctrine, but the Lord looketh upon the heart.”
