Makes sense to me!
I can go for that interpretation as well! It might have been better for me to put 'President Trump's' in scare quotes to communicate this is either not the final plan, or a trial balloon!
Had a bit of fun with that :)
Spoken to the religious leaders, it really should have had an impact... Wait A Minute!
All through the book of Acts you see the Pharisees start to get it - It starts with Gamaliel warning the majority of the Sanhedrin, "be careful what you do to these men...." and ends with the Pharisees defending Paul while the Sadducees denounce him!
The Lamb of God returns as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah!
Depends on whose definition of Israel you use...
@ u/The_Greeat_Ship_Pilot I don't think that is what the issue is here, though I voted you up for a good question!:
-
We can't get to Heaven on our works, because our work misses the mark of both action and intent: See Matthew 5: 48 Even the Ten Commandments cannot both be kept in letter or spirit without the Holy Spirit.
-
There was always a way for those who committed unintentional sin to show repentance, both under the Law and under Grace. Jesus never rebuked anyone for keeping the Law, the rebuke was for prioritizing the traditions of man over the Law of God., and for not keeping it, while acting as if keeping it.
-
The Law of God serves three purposes:
a) To show us what God's standard of living is
b) To reveal to us our missing the mark of that standard
c) to point us to Jesus our Messiah and Lord, who did meet the standard perfectly!
-
As Paul points out in Romans 7, the Law as an overriding emphasis will cause your old sinful nature to come out in spades - and every other suit! This is why our focus is to be on Christ, and not on the Law in and of itself - and we know that the Law is not the problem, because Paul says the Law is holy, just and righteous .
-
We are the problem! As Pogo put it: "We have met the enemy, and he is us!" see point 4)
-
The context is in relation to fasting - NOT the Moral Law!:
Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”
And Jesus said to them, “The [fn]attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. “But no one puts [fn]a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for [fn]the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. “Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Thank you in advance, all readers of this comment for your patience with this rather long explanation. I appreciate all who take the time to read it!
Different view doesn't make him full of it. He's holding to a Biblical view, which the IDF currently does not.
BTW: Your 'information' about the IDF is also false, as the IDF has actually removed such patches worn by extremist settlers and others:
"A bruised reed He will not break, A smoldering wick He will not quench, He will faithfully bring forth justice" Isaiah 43:2
This passage is quoted in reference to Jesus:
Matthew 12: 20 - 21
Praying for peace and encouragement to surround you. He will make something good come out of all of this, trust Him.
That's OK!
Anna Paulina Luna can (as Rush Limbaugh could) answer them with half her brain tied behind her back!
According to a Brave search, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's a few years ago.
Ah. No!
Thank you!
Agreed, and it would also go inline with the idea of One Subject At A Time, which you can learn more about here:
