IN TERMS OF
SOLE PROPHET LEADING THE WAY, I’d agree.
However, Paul is quite clear . . .
some folks are called,
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH ERA WE ARE STILL IN . . .
to the OFFICES of
Apostle
Pastor
Teacher
Prophet
Evangelist
WHILE ALL OF US ARE PART OF THE PRIESTHOOD of the believers . . .
in which roles . . . there are no Jews, Greeks, Masters, Slaves, males, Females . . .
All are equal before The Cross.
You are correct. St. Augustine went one step further in "City of God" when his classic work described the difference between the visable church on earth and the invisable assembly of all His annointed people. We don't know whom God has desired to welcome home to His regular family.
If you depend upon, spend regular private prayer time with Jesus each day there are crowns for you. If you are acting as a encouragement to others in the faith and you carry about bring the lost around.time with and trust Jesus, He will know your name. People who were only playing games only present at church on Sunday. appearing to be righteous, but inside they are vavinous dogs"
Paul said as only Paul could say "there are now no gentiles, Jews or Greeks" all come together as a new assembly. Nothing attached to the western empire survived
Their duty was to glorify our almighty King Jesus not because He's our only hope, but because a recently converted "Christian empire was utterly defeated by the Barbarians.city. When Augustine was forced to become an apologist for the Fall of Rome and the question all Christians who were murdered, enslaved and executed for their faith. of the true states church in heaven are sorted out.
Was it laid down as an expansion of the temple? If so then it is part of the temple.
I suspect God’s opinion is different.
In any case, His opinion is the only one that counts.
Thanks for your kind words.
"Was it laid down as an expansion of the temple? If so then it is part of the temple."
You stated your opinion.
I stated mine.
I don’t know that what you asked for is particularly governing . . . in the least.
Me to STD
Please show me where the tribulation period is 7 years. Revelation has no 7 year period only 3.5 years. In your reference in Matt 24 Christ said that no stone would stand of the temple so something must happen for the last of the wall to fall so until that time I would not get my bowls in a uproar or and underwear in a wringer.
Your response to my statement to STD
He said of THE TEMPLE. He did NOT say, of THE TEMPLE AND THE PLATFORM IT’S BUILT ON.
My response to you
Is not the west wall part of the temple?
Your responce
Part of the hill—platform built up to build the TEMPLE ON. Is all of the mountain part of NORAD? Is the bedrock under the towers part of Golden Gate Bridge?

I don't believe that I asked for an opinion I asked "Was it laid down as an expansion of the temple? If so then it is part of the temple."

IS THE WALL PART OF THE EXPANSION OF THE TEMPLE? NOTICE THE QUESION MARK THIS IS THE SAME QUESTION I HAVE ASKED IN THE LAST 4 POSTS
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
the answer, imho,
remains
NO.
In terms of the issues of concern in this thread, the platform and wall adding to the leveled mount . . . is not, per se, PART OF The Temple.
It is a constructed addition to the leveled part of the mount on which the Temple is built.
BTW have you ever been there?
I have.
Christ did NOT say,
No stone OF
The TEMPLE
AND
THE TEMPLE MOUNT’s artificial addition
will be left one upon another.
Adding to Christ’s Words is not advised.
BTW,
I’ve never found it profitable nor advisable to try and put God in some silly, mangled, extrapolated, rationlized little human box on much of anything.
Does God's promises still stand? When He says that He will do something will He do it? Has Israel possessed all the land that God has said they would? No? So is God a lier? Or will they still posses it in some future time?
There is not a box big enough to put God in so I do not do that but I will hold Him to His promises and His word.
The accuracy of God’s Word is one thing.
The accuracy of vain glorious
PERSONAL
interpretations, extrapolations, fantasies, mangled flying leaps
therefrom
are quite another.
OF COURSE God’s promises are faithful.
He CERTAINLY WILL INSURE THAT ISRAEL HAS EVERY SQUARE INCH OF LAND HE PROMISED ABRAHAM. She has never, yet, possessed all that land. She certainly WILL.
WOW! THAT IS QUITE A OPINION.
“And why do people keep bringing up the pre-trib rapture. Where is it in scripture??”
It is not in Scripture. It e-v-o-l-v-e-d from John Nelson Darby about 180 years or so ago.

Though, imho, greatly inferior in wattage to your cheeky opinion about the wall of the addition to the mount.
That assertion has been proven wrong hereon multiple times.
The belief is New Testament . . . and certainly can be traced back to the NT era.
Darby was a Johnny-come-lately to the party.
“The belief is New Testament . . . and certainly can be traced back to the NT era.”
Facts, please.
Help yourself.
They are hidden in the thousands of my posts hereon as well as those of some others.
I have no need to do your research for you.
I just like to note ill-informed, poorly researched, off-the-wall assertions as such . . . from time to time.
