There is a lot of speculation that historic events that people have been anticipating for more than 2,000 years are about to happen in our time. About a month ago, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about whether or not the sacrifice of the tenth red heifer would take place during the Passover season, and obviously that did not happen. However, I am entirely convinced that a red heifer sacrifice is eventually coming. But if you think that the sacrifice of the tenth red heifer will be big, the truth is that the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant will be even more important.
I will get to that later in this article, but first I wanted to talk a bit about the upcoming red heifer sacrifice.
According to the Temple Institute, a red heifer cannot be used in such a sacrifice until its third year has begun…
As for the time the red heifer may be used for this commandment – the Sages state that it is valid when it reaches maturity, i.e. from the beginning of its third year. [13] From this age and onward the red heifer is valid without age limitations. Though, ideally, one should not wait till it passes the age of four, lest it grows hairs of colors that deem it invalid.

The ones I saw in the photo were the equivalent of midget full grown cows. I doubt if they would have been acceptable to the priests in the olden days.
But why would you deny Daniel 9:27 Daniel 11:31 Daniel 12:11?
Besides, Paul tells us it's all we need.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
And here you are telling us that the very words God breathed out for our instruction and spiritual growth that can make us COMPLETE is not good enough.
What chutzpah!!!!!
The arrogance of that is breathtaking.
IF you all are suddenly going to become Bible literalists, that if it's not directly stated in Scripture in words that you approve of, then it's not legitimate, is the height of hypocrisy. Here are some things that Catholicism holds to and says are important that are not in Scripture either....
*pope*
*cardinal*
*catechism*
*purgatory*
*eucharist*
*confessional*
*scapular*
*rosary*
*monstrance*
*holy water*
*sacraments*
*immaculate conception*
*assumption*
*crucifix*
*Mediatrix*
*Benefactrix*
*dulia*
*limbo*
*excommunication*
*incarnation*
*mass*
*crucifix*
*transubstantiation*
*natural law*
*Lent*
to name a few.
No, she’s not. there is NOTHING in the Bible that tells us anywhere that Mary is mother of anyone but Jesus, His brothers and sisters, and at the end of His life, to John for him to take care of her.
Assuming that that can be extrapolated to represent the church and all believers is reading FAR more into it that the text suggests or even implies.
That is a classic example of Catholic doctrine determining interpretation instead of Scripture determining doctrine.
Determining doctrine and then cherry picking Scripture to support it is a sure fire path to false doctrine and false teaching.
Saying God doesn’t live in temples does not preclude people building one anyways. And just because they build one, does not obligate God to move in.
Big difference if you think about it.
Triggered much?
Thank you for admitting that the concept of Sola Scriptura cannot be found in scripture.
“And you’re changing the subject too, and accusing others of something not being discussed. Nobody here is advocating not living righteously. Matter of fact, the more we know HIs return is close but don’t know the specific moment the more incentive it is to live righteously.”
Unfortunately, the constant speculation that some people engage in makes them vulnerable to scammers and false prophets claiming revelation and knowledge of when Jesus returns. These terrible sinners have tricked millions of Christians with their false prophecies designed to get money for themselves.
I’m not saying you are doing that, but it is indisputably true that many false prophets and vainglorious pseudo-intellectuals have stolen from the Lord’s flock.
And I do go back to Jesus’s command to not care about the future except to say that it is in God’s hands. We preach the gospel with urgency and live according to its commands, but we do not burden ourselves with things that we cannot control. This is what the command to be as little children means, and also to consider the sparrow and the lily.
It can be. I posted the verses.
If you choose to reject them, that’s on you. I can’t undo Catholic brainwashing for Catholics.
No. Just exposing typical hypocrisy.
We’re not to WORRY about the future.
That does not preclude excitedly looking forward to His coming again. Nor do I believe that it leaves people susceptible to fraudsters and scammers.
That’s a lack of discernment and proper understanding of Scripture. Jesus is clear that no one can know the day or hour. If some choose to ignore that, that is their choice. They simply do not believe God over men.
After the lengths God has gone to to provide for our salvation with the atonement, the death of Jesus on the cross, and then provide us with His very own God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired word, it’s the height of arrogance for people, denominations, or churches to come along and sit in judgment on it and claim that all He did is not good enough, that mere mortal man must add to it and change it to improve it.
If the sinless, holy, immortal God Himself cannot provide adequate means for salvation and growth, whatever possesses men to think that adding their own mortal, sin corrupted efforts can fill it out and it make it complete?
The deception runs deep with that kind of thinking and leaves people even more open to deception of Satan as they look for something else to adhere to.
gaslight
It’s not a mere “denomination”. It’s the true faith. That being true, the accusation of “arrogance” is inapposite. Illogical.
Since you went there: Sole Fide, also, is not to be found in the Bible.
Thank you for the perfect example of denying Truth found in Scripture because it’s not written in the words you think it should have been or approve of.
You know what? You are free to out your trust in faith in religious organizations, sacraments, rituals, and works all you want. It’s your prerogative.
I’ll keep trusting Jesus and His FINISHED, complete work on the cross.
His death on the cross to pay for ALL my sins is good enough for me and the God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Word He gave us is enough to make me complete, equipped for EVERY good work. The Bible alone contains more than enough to keep a person busy for an entire life without out adding useless additions to it.
Have at it. And good luck earning your salvation. You’ll need it.
Have a good day.
No more heresies to spout?
Your definition of “shortly” is not God’s.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
I wouldn’t expect you to get it though since you’re trolling again for an argument.
You do whatever you want for YOU.
The Bible and letting it Read Itself makes it clear to ME.
