That doesn't tell us anything. They could be Edomites who King Herod appointed as priests. It's all a matter of faith

For some things, if one does not have first hand empirical experience best to take it with a huge grain of salt.
There is a lot of half truths and out right deceptions out there.
 
Nope....of course that's not who they have set aside as DNA sources. That's not how this works.

What I'm saying is that they CAN....not that they will.

Instead of going back and forth on a subject that doesn't really interest me, can you provide a link or something that verifies your claim?
 
Why doesn’t the letter written to the Hebrews mention the restoring of thier temple or land or thier riegn for a thousand years on earth ? but instead it explaines that tbier inheritance and promised land isn’t on this earth but in heaven ?

just a question to ponder . it seems as if the specific letter written to Hebrews would have been all about waiting for the Hope of thier earthly covenant restoration and the rebuilding of thier temple and gathering back to thier land or at least mentioned it in passing to those Hebrews …..rather than creating this idea that tbier kingdom inheritance isnt of this earth or the old covenant. If that was what’s going to happen .
The letter to the Hebrews was written before the destruction of the second temple (70 AD). There would be no reason to talk about restoring something that was then standing in Jerusalem. Further, the Jews were "in the land" at the time the letter was written, even though they were ruled by the Romans.
 
I've noticed that you are so bent on what you believe that you ignore and challenge anyone and anything that has even a possibility of putting you in check. You are really a piece of work.🤨

I'm doubtful of his claim and presented an alternate hypothesis. He made a claim, which I highly doubt is true, and introduced doubt into the discussion to get him to either drop the matter or support his claim with evidence. Pretty reasonable approach IMO. Are you suggesting that I'm supposed to just believe anything anybody says?
 
The red hefer seems to have been found and is about the right age for the sacrifice for purification.
We are that close to seeing and answering the question.
God will not accept their offering because it denies Jesus as the Messiah.
It will be just the opposite of purification.
It will be blasphemy.

Thanks for the input

Seems like they would have to convert to Christianity huh ? And accept the name of Jesus which …. Then there’s no need for a temple he comes to dwell in the temple of the person with us ….
 
Have you somehow lost the ability to use a search engine?

You made the claim. If you can't easily provide evidence for me to verify its truth, then I will assume it's not true.

But in the past I have looked for what you claimed and found nothing of substance.

No you wont....

People, including myself, have before and you still refuse to believe....neverminding how ridiculous your arguments have looked....you still hold on dearly.

I'm a pretty reasonable fella willing to admit when I'm wrong and amend my understanding. I'll just bow out now and let you believe what you want.

Hebrews was written to Jewish believers. The physical temple was not yet destroyed. The writer was encouraging/warning them not to return to the old customs.

The book of Revelation was written in 95 AD. The temple had been destroyed by then. Chapter 13 describes the Antichrist being seated in the temple and claiming to be God. That will be difficult if there is no temple.

If I was writing to Jewish believers who were wavering about entering fully into the New Covenant, I'd not mention a rebuilt temple. And I doubt if God revealed this to the writer anyway. It was not necessary.

What do you make of Revelation 11? It mentions the temple, two witnesses killed in Jerusalem and a great earthquake that destroys 1/10 of the city. 7,000 people die. And that in AD95, looking to the future. Has there ever been 144,000 Israelites preaching the gospel? Why do I say that they preach the gospel? They are servants of God, sealed and protected. And after they 144,000 are sealed, a great multitude are standing before the throne of God and the Lamb.

"The meek will inherit the earth". Does that not mean an earthly, physical kingdom here on earth? The Lord's prayer is even clearer. God's will is for His kingdom to come - on earth as in heaven. This is the 1000 year reign of Christ on the earth, followed by a new heavens and a new earth. It's all there in the Book.
 
Maybe because they will not rebuild the temple.
When Jesus died on the cross He confirmed the covenant God promised in Jeremiah 31 and made the temple worship system void and unacceptable to God.
Paul teaches this in Hebrews because some of the Hebrew Believers were returning to the temple system.
Paul almost certainly did not write Hebrews. I don't know why anyone would imagine that he did. The temple will be rebuilt. Sacrifices will be restored. The book of Revelation makes that clear. Revelation was written in 95 AD, after Herod's temple had been destroyed. The Antichrist will occupy the temple and boast that he is God.

All the requirements for a new temple are in place. Red heifers have been specially bred, the temple artifacts remade and even a new Sanhedrin appointed. It is even possible that the traditional site of the temple is incorrect and the new temple could be built without upsetting the Muslims.

Did I miss the post with solid evidence .........instead it slid to making it about you... very telling. :unsure:
