That is exactly my point. There are different kinds of covenants, one of them being a testament. We call it a last will and testament. It is my opinion that the covenant God made with Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:10-11 is a separate covenant pertaining only to Israel. Consider the...

Sipsey greetings, You did not answer the question, why didn't God die after making a covenant with Noah, if all makers of covenants, by necessity, have to die.

NASB20 For where there is a [fn]covenant, there must of necessity [fn]be the death of the one who made it. If this translation is correct you need to explain why God did not die when he made this covenant with Noah. Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be...

I agree with your first chapter. Then I would ask you two questions, does the house of Israel and the house of Judah exist today? Do the Jews have a need of a teacher today? There is a problem with your second chapter, at least for me. The new translations have a habit of changing the reading...

You are absolutely right it is "world". Please give me a definition for "new covenant."

I do not believe the kingdom of Heaven is here now, or has been in the past. Jesus said "My Kingdom is not of this world." (Or age.) It is obvious that not all the prophesies of Christ have taken place. I do believe the larger part of Daniels prophesies have taken place, but not all. I believe...

keepingthingsreal, In our examination of the scripture we can liken it to building a house. One block upon another, or one premise upon another. If one block is faulty, or if one premise is false, then it may be possible that the whole house will fall. I believe our first building block is the...

I can't remember my second source, but I remember what they said. They said, the Roman soldiers were making fun of the Christians, (Most likely urged on by the Jews). The Christians took it as a badge of honor. James Ussher did say it was derived from the Latin. "When Clarence Darrow prepared...

Just two points. First, Ussher did not say he did not know how the word originated. What he said was, "It seems to have been created by some Romans." Second, even if it was recorded in a Greek text first, still its origination is Latin. I had another source which stated it was Roman soldiers...

No you can't believe everything you read or hear. At one time the chronology of James Ussher was inserted in the margins of the King James Bible. It doesn't mean he was always right. He did possess a library of 12,000 books. Many had trust in his words. James Ussher said the following------...

Keepingthingsreal, I removed a good portion of this post not to avoid considering it, but rather to consider one portion of text at a time. Would you agree that the fourth kingdom in both Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 represents the Roman Kingdom? Would you also agree that a "1,000 years" is not found...

Thank you vassal.

Yes, and it was Roman soldiers that gave them the name. I have several historic sources that say it was meant as a derogatory name for followers of Jesus. One of the sources is James Ussher. The fact that it is a Latin name is evidence as well. The Christians took it as a badge of honour.

Christian means to be Christlike. If you are Christlike, you are most likely saved. The name Christian is a Latin word that was derived from Romans soldiers who considered it derogatory.

I am sorry I misled you, I did not intend to. Of course, I know that Messiah and anointed are derived from the same Hebrew word, as is Christ and anointed are the same Greek word. I assumed that point would be understood when I spoke of anointed ocurring more than a hundred times. I make the...

I they are Christians they are saved. Two groups saved and lost.

If they are not saved before he returns, they are lost. The virgin had no oil for her lamp.

I hope you were not offended when I left out part of your post. I am sorry. My background has left me unfamiliar with a lot of church terminology such as Messianic age. I am not sure of what that encompasses. I would assume that it starts with the birth of Christ and ends with the last page of...

Is there a third group beyond the lost and the saved? Referring to 2 Peter 3:8. and the literal or non-literal thousand years. 2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation...

I removed the majority of your post in order to concentrate on the last paragraph, which to some extent is a summary of your post. I believe the Messianic age has taken place, with the exception of the marriage and the thousand-year reign. I believe the Jews are right in believing of a future...
