The haughty attitude and condemnation of others tells me you have nothing except the hollow words of a cult leader and lots of bluster.
In America, we allow cults. Mormons. Scientologists. Jehovah’s Witnesses. Yours. Etc. We allow people to pursue religious expressions that they are comfortable with. I support your right to do so.
Luke 21:
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
.
Will you be happy in hell with “ religious expressions that you are comfortable with?”
.
I strongly suspect not!
To express real love, one must truthfully inform.
.
Actually, you are correct.
>> “According to whom?” <<
.
According to the university that employs him.
.
She most certainly does.
>>Please study the complete chapters from which you surgically extracted those quotes!<<
The verses she quoted illustrate the meaning of the chapter, and the entirety of scripture for that matter, perfectly.
Everything is happening on schedule for Luke 21 and other prophecies to be fulfilled. It started with the re-gathering of the nation of Israel.
>> “Empty gracers”...is that the pet term now for those who believe in the promises of Almighty God...” <<
.
Not even close!
It’s for those that read selectively, leaving out the meat of the scriptures, and holding fast to what sounds sweet.
.
>> “The verses she quoted illustrate the meaning of the chapter, and the entirety of scripture for that matter, perfectly.” <<
.
In your extremely limited understanding.
You are still very much in need of the sincere milk.
You are far from ready for any strong meat.

It is true that the “rebirth of the nation in one day” was an exactly prophesied event of massive significance, as it set the stage for the wars of Judah prophesied in Psalms and Zechariah.
All I was trying to point out with the post was the connection to Yeshua coming in the cloud.
.
>> “I’m pretty sure Paul spoke at least a little Greek, based on Acts 21:37 account of when he was jailed toward the end, and him having somewhat astonished one of the Roman soldiers that he was able to speak Greek.” <<
.
Yes, but Paul was at the time, probably the second most educated man in the world (next to Gamaliel).
As a whole, Jews were a very self-centered people (as they remain today).
.
The Passover does require wine.
Grape juice didn’t exist in storage until about 100 years ago.
Grape juice is used when doing videos, due to the need for re-takes, to keep from becoming plastered.
.
2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
Hebrews 13:9
“To express real love, one must truthfully inform.”
I’m so glad to hear that!
When you called me a snot-faced brat, satanic and evil, at first I wondered! Now I see you were expressing your love for me!
Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome!
Knowledge is power.

Yeah, I sort of missed that intent also. Funny how that works.
Eventually you may understand that the “scriptures” is mostly the OT, except for Matthew and Revelation.
Paul’s epistles are difficult for the beginner to follow, because he beats the subject back and forth almost endlessly before delivering the key message. Peter and James are more direct, but in some cases Peter is almost too short with his advice.
Picking single sentences from Paul, one could easily make it appear that he said the opposite of what he is saying.
In 2Corinthians 3:14, the vail is the limitation on understanding, which is truly dispelled by Yeshua’s crisp assertions.
.
>> “Funny how that works.” <<
.
You’ll need way more “work.”

What temple was Abraham, or his descendants for 400 years, required to be circumcised for?
