>>>Besides Balaam, which prophets exactly do the Scriptures list that Jerusalem killed, and how many prophets are there ?
I don't recall any except in the apocrypha. But Jesus said this:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate." (Mat 23:37-38 KJV)
"Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem." (Luke 13:33 KJV)
"… the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation." (Luke 11:50-51 KJV)
Jesus said Jerusalem killed (some) prophets, and he said Jerusalem was responsible for the blood of all of them. You believe Jesus, don't you?
>>>Does your church hold to the Doctrine of Balaam also?<<<
Also? Also what? I am not catholic? I don't recall my Church teaching that we should eat anything sacrificed to idols or commit fornication: to the contrary. Also, to my knowledge, I don't recall my Church teaching anything to the children of Israel, at any time. Only Christians attend my Church, as well as I can determine.
Does your church hold to the Doctrine of Balaam? Does your church teach you to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication?
Philip
I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, but your words I do not trust. I think you misunderstand him.
Also? Also what? I am not catholic?
Yes we have established that; I seem to recall you mentioned you belong to a re-formed religion.
Does your church hold to the Doctrine of Balaam?
I love the Jewish people. I cannot imagine trying to curse the Jews like he and his clients did. I fear God and would not want to fall into judgement like Balaam did. Moslems are looking for alliances with churches to curse Israel. You can even see it in our generation. Iran has even formed an alliance with hundreds of Jews, Neturei Karta, to curse and destroy Israel. The Clarion Project complains that the Presbyterian Church partnered with Islamists and those Islamists want to make the church their “Islamophobia” police. The Presbyterian Church (USA) and its Islamic interfaith partners have also made common cause when it comes to Israel. The Church almost voted in favor of divestment from Israel last summer, winning praise from the director of ISNA’s Office of Interfaith Relations, Sayyid Syeed. He was previously recorded in 2006 saying, “Our job is to change the constitution of America.” Its Israel-Palestine Mission Network endorsed the “No Blank Check for Israel” rally on January 19. It is a member of the Interfaith Boycott Coalition, the faith-based wing of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. The Interfaith Boycott Coalition supported the boycott of SodaStream because it is based in an Israeli community in the West Bank. The revised study is scheduled to be presented during the 221st General Assembly in 2014. The current version states that Presbyterians are called to “identify and speak out against bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, and violence against Islam and Muslim peoples of all cultures, especially in the United States.”
He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
