When something doesn't seem to fit, it's a sure sign that you need revelation or teaching from the Holy Spirit. God's Word, rightly divided, is not inconsistent, and everything "fits".

Perhaps you are the one that needs revelation ..to rightly divide the words of scripture in this Nbdy

     Eze 43:15   So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward [shall be] four horns.   

  Eze 43:16   And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

     Eze 43:17   And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit; and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

     Eze 43:18   And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These [are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

     Eze 43:19   And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.

     Eze 43:20   And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put [it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

     Eze 43:21   Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

     Eze 43:22   And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; :and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse [it] with the bullock.   

  Eze 43:23   When thou hast made an end of cleansing [it], thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.   

  Eze 43:24   And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD.

     Eze 43:25   Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

     Eze 43:26   Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

     Eze 43:27   And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

  Hbr 10:9   Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
     Hbr 10:10   By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
     Hbr 10:11   And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
     Hbr 10:12   But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

So which is true?

So which is true?

C'mon, I asked you a question, and you answer me with a question, and you don't answer the question I asked?

Keep in mind, that until Israel accepts the Messiah (Jesus), they (at least the practicing Jews) will want to resume the sacrifices and ordinances of the Law. I don't profess to know what to make of Ezekiel. I haven't even really looked at it that much, but from what you quoted, I cannot see how that was the thing that changed you from a Premil to an Amil. I've read a lot of the so-called proof that has been thrown around on this thread, and I'm not convinced, because I can see clear cases where the Amil position forces an interpretation that isn't consistent with the context or the clear meaning of the words.

You can accuse me of being deluded, but can you prove you're not? It hasn't been proven to me that I'm deluded, and I'm certainly not resistant to truth. I pray every day for God's guidance and enlightenment, and I'm just crazy enough to believe that He answers my prayer. I don't think that's a prayer that God would refuse to answer, and as He is my witness, I truly do want to know the truth.

One thing I see among Calvinists that I find curious is a tendency to make everything black and white, all or nothing, and no room given for the fact that maybe, just maybe, there are some points about even Calvinism that aren't 100% correct. Same with the Amils...they will denounce the Preterist, when they are at least 90% in complete agreement, doctrinally, with the Amils. I haven't found the exact thing that sets off the alarms in my spirit about the Amil position, but I will find it, and when I do, I'll share it. I know this: I'm believing God to show me the truth, to lead me into truth, and to keep me in the truth, and I'm walking in faith that He is doing that very thing in me. I am yielded to Him in that, and am not conscious of any resistance to the truth in my spirt. I ask God daily to root out any resistance, and to show me where I need to change. What more can I do? You tell me.
