[Tzfat]

I do not believe that the Jews are Christ Killers, where did you hear that? I believe that the Messiah “came unto his own and his own recieved him not...”

...and so, you think Israel must suffer until "they" understand the error of "their" ways, right?

Perhaps you need to spend a little time discussing how you personally continue to restrain the appearance of Messiah.

[Tzfat]

Nobody is attempting to denigrate Israel.

"Pastor" Randle's point is focused upon Israel missing Messiah, and when they finally repent of that sin, Messiah will show up.

Why not focus on how everyone's continuing sin plays a part in restraining Messiah?

I don’t think my opinion counts for anything, which is why I am only commenting on scripture, Moses and Hosea, prophets of God.

I don’t know. One estimate of born-again Christians in the world is about 1/2 billion (http://www.888c.com/worldChristianDenominations.htm), and that’s just church members.

The Bible says the number in Heaven will be “ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands” (Rev 5:11).

I tend to think that many will be surprised at how many will be in Heaven, because of the miracle and power of the gospel of grace to save “to the uttermost” simply by calling on his name.

A wise perspective, unfortunately, it appears that think your opinion does indeed count for something because you think your editorial perspective is necessary in order to understand what G-d has said through His prophets.

When a man's hermeneutics are as important as the text he claims to be "interpreting" he is adding to the words of Scripture.

"Why not focus on how everyone's continuing sin plays a part in restraining Messiah?"

Well, we're always going to sin...that won't stop. God has His own timetable, and He is in control. He'll set things into motion at the right time.

[Tzfat]

I complete agree with that!
