Our Lord Jesus showed in his time among the Jews who has the answer for #1 and for #2.

When Our Lord Jesus entered in the Temple angrily he drove out those selling sheep, oxen and money changer.

Then he said Destroy this Temple and in 3 days I will build it again.
JOHN 2:19
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Scribes and Pharisees because they don't know who God the Father is (John 8:54-55). Their belief that Our Lord Jesus is not Speaking in Parables. It is clearly to their understanding that he is talking about the literal Temple. So they answered him.
JOHN 2:20
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

AMONG THE 2 ANSWERS, SCRIBES & PHARISEES CHOOSE ANSWER #2. THEY INSIST


But the Disciples of Our Lord, at first they understand is the literal physical Temple too.
JOHN 2:15-17
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

But since the Disciples know who God the Father is, they believe that Our Lord Jesus is Speaking in Parables (Mark 4:34)
So it was revealed to them by Our Lord Jesus that he was talking about his body.
JOHN 2:21-22
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

AMONG THE 2 ANSWERS, THE DISCIPLES CHOOSE ANSWER #1. THEY SURRENDERED WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND AND WAIT FOR OUR LORD TO REVEAL THE MEANING OF TEMPLE. AND IT WAS REVEALED TO THEM.

I love the parable in Luke 21:1- 15
Revealed by Father today in Daddy's Spirit and truth (The Holy Spirit)
To reckon self dead to first born flesh daily, Rom 6:1-12. To see new and grow deeper in humility in the gift of love and mercy for us all daily, in thanksgiving and praise, understanding, no one before Jesus, during Jesus's time here on earth and to this day afterwords can be perfect ever of themselves ever, at least I see this now after many years, not giving up on Father and Son as won(One) for us all, am learning this unfathomable love to any first born flesh and blood, to me at least. Others might think they got it, Okay go ahead, and be whatever anyone else thinks, please do not be proud in it, or harm others, either, thank you
 
2 CHRONICLES 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God the Father proved his promised through Simon Peter.
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee. Simon Peter humble himself.
And Peter recognized the real Jesus.
So Peter recognized who God the Father is (John 8:19)
God the Father fulfilled his promised in Jeremiah 31:34.
Simon Peter became a Chosen of God.
MATTHEW 16:15-17
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Nothing in the text says that Peter humbled himself. You are committing blatant eisegesis.

only Father reveals, no one else, and did reveal the truth to Simon Peter as Jesus said did
Then Evil tried to sift Peter, as Jesus said would try. Yet Peter would see and then strengthen the brethren, we have 1,2,3 Peter now and only Father can reveal what one, anyone reads there or not yet, as Father, Daddy, PaPa, knows best

Remember when Peter denied Jesus 3 times? That came to mind later after Jesus resurrected and He asked Peter (3 Times!) Peter, do you love me? And it makes me wonder if that was somehow spiritually linked to the 3 denials of Peter's? Like it cancelled out each denial with a proclamation of love for each one? Somehow, I think they're linked because Peter even got frustrated when Jesus kept asking over and over again, and I highly doubt that Jesus was trying to be annoying, lol! So it had to mean something.
 
Proverbs 29:23
A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

Jesus, answered Peter and said feed my sheep! Is that the Church? or people in general as led to do from Father leading us, us listening and discerning truth over error? (Matthew 10:16-20) as did Jesus by Father's lead. I do nothing or say anything unless Father tells me. Think this might be passed onto us all to believe God and learn from God 1 John 2:27. To see first to take care of our own boards in our own eyes first. Be dead to self and everyone else. To see in Daddy's Spirit and Truth and there we be able to do as led over what religion says. John 4:23-24

Simon Peter sin's was forgiven and he became Apostle of Christ.
So it is already understood that Simon Peter passed this commandment of God and it shouldn't read exactly as you expect.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Anyway, no wonder why because you are just proving that "You Failed the Test" unlike Simon Peter passed it.
So there is no spirit within you to understand God's words.
That is why God the Father never give you an understanding.
PROVERBS 2:6
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

With your situation right now you are depending to the letter of the words only.
According to Lord Jesus, whoever after to the letter of the words will not achieve Eternal Life.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:6
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

You never convince the Chosen of God by using deeply words.
I know you can use simple words but you intentionally you use deep words. This is nothing.
It proves that you only have the knowledge but no wisdom. Knowledge is not a basis to salvation but wisdom it is
You are committing blatant eisegesis.

When will you stop inventing things and claiming they are in Scripture?

How many times to tell you that God said "You never stop the truth"

Learn proper English and maybe your question will make sense.

Every time you make a comment the Lord Jesus exposing who you are.

My sharing is not necessary for you but to all readers in this thread. That is why I'm making a comment with your report, other readers might have the same idea as yours.

Speaking proper English matters to you.

In the Old Testament, if you are one of the slaves in Egypt, you will not believe Moses and you choose to stay as slave.
Because you are expecting a good speaker will come. In your belief, the chosen of God should speak proper English because he comes from God. That is your own standard.

I'm sure you will reject Moses as messenger of the Lord the way he speaks.
And you prefer to stay as slave.
When God the Father asked Moses to go back in Egypt to speak for the Israelites. This is what Moses said to the Lord.
EXODUS 4:10
10 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

Although Moses couldn't speak properly but the Israelites understand what he said because they are humbled in the eyes of God. And God the Father gave them an understanding.
So they choose to believe and follow Moses and leave Egypt.

I believe that even a good speaker from God will come, you never to get to understand him or her.
Because there is no humbleness in you and so you failed the test, then God the father never give you an understanding (Proverbs 2:6)

Since God said what happened in the Old Testament is still happening today (Spiritually).
ECCLESIASTES 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

You've been exposed by Lord Jesus Christ that you are still a slave in Egypt.
You are slave of your belief about your hermeneutical methods which you never prove it is the truth.

I see, Godsgood, your feelings push through, thank you, as God leads not me, or anyone else
Not easy to not say anything about others in their troubles expressed against others, usually about their own demise, and spouting out to others to feel not so upset, not feeling good enough, over things that have happened to them too.
I am Trusting you are hearing from God to speak or not yet. trusting Dino gets it and is not after to get to you in anger over what is said to you, or others here as well, God loves us all and will not stop this love that overcomes evil, thank you Lord
I see, yes be wise to whomever and whatever, that is needed for us all, at least me too, thank you
The hardest part in Matthew 10:16-20 is: To remain harmless
I see to rebuke, when Daddy, PaPa, Father tells me to, and am in process learning this truth too. Jesus rebuked, yet not until after attacked first and he did not condemn them, he said to them truth as Father said to him about them. That made them angry, when they thought their secrets were secret and saw they weren't, when Jesus exposed them. Such as saying you defy my Father's direct commandment to honor your parents. You tell their kid it is okay to give to them, even if that person when gives to them can't have enough money left to take care of their parents. Corban is what I heard Jesus say to them.
I know your heart is new and secured by Father in you, and I am elated over it as we both and all others continue to learn truth over errors here on earth. Evil, still out there, trying its best to get anyone of us upset and tout our anger, and that be used against us. Evil has a double edged sword and uses it as good and bad to get what they want. Not seeing Father and Son are sharper than any two-edged sword
So I see to learn Luke 21:14-15 from Daddy, PaPa, Father thank you as we each see to see new and stand in belief to God Father and Son the only One good, since the two are One, Won for us too, everyone, God calls us all, not a few, all got a choice to choose thank you
Hoping the best for us all, I need God Father to lead, not me anymore

Be angry, and yet ask Father how to not let the old self get in the way as we learn new each day

Let the Old Ways die daily by humbling ourselves, beg and ask for Jesus Mercy.
