One must be careful which one they have made into their master for we either serve the Old Covenant or the New Covenant.
The Author of both of covenants has made a change and given in person instructions for us to follow Him as the Author of the New Covenant.
Some have rejected this in person Author of the New Covenant and in doing so turned their backs on the Will of The Author of both covenants.
Because all organized religions that base their religion on Jesus Christ have been co-opted by thieves who are nothing more than wolves in sheep’s clothing.
All and I mean all so called Christian organized religions are a farce and a bundle of lies and propaganda.
They are only after two things, the ability to control those who follow them and that’s mainly so they can play on their remorse to get as much monetary value from them as possible.
Jesus Christ founded not one organized religion these are All man made inventions.
lol my false understanding.
You probably believe the Jews don’t need Jesus Christ to be saved because they are still a chosen people.
Even though that went away with the new covenant.
No where in the new covenant is a new temple mentioned needing to be built.
That is a projection by those who are in denial of the Truth.

“For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
Matthew 24:27 ESV
Does this sound like Jesus Christ plans on making the earth a vacation spot for 1000 years?
Are you sure you didn’t miss it already?
@WatchmanTitus2@byroncarroll lol sure buddy.
And let me guess you believe this means a race of people too.
“So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Matthew 24:33-34 ESV
lol yeah He sure He was telling them just before that.
I am sending you out.
No where did He say he was going to physically accompany them.
Here let’s get some context from the scriptures.
“Jesus sent out these twelve, charging them, Go nowhere among the Gentiles and do not go into any town of the Samaritans;
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.
Take no gold nor silver nor [even] copper money in your purses (belts);
And do not take a provision bag or a wallet for a collection bag for your journey, nor two undergarments, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the workman deserves his support (his living, his food).
And into whatever town or village you go, inquire who in it is deserving, and stay there [at his house] until you leave [that vicinity]. As you go into the house, give your greetings and wish it well.
Then if indeed that house is deserving, let come upon it your peace [that is, freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin].
But if it is not deserving, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive and accept and welcome you nor listen to your message, as you leave that house or town, shake the dust [of it] from your feet.
Truly I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves. [Gen. 3:1.]
Be on guard against men [whose way or nature is to act in opposition to God]; for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues,
And you will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a witness to bear testimony before them and to the Gentiles (the nations).
But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you are to speak; for what you are to say will be given you in that very hour and moment,
For it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.”
Matthew 10:5-20 AMPC
lol nice try buddy but you need to go back your seminars.
Once again you attempt a deflection, for it does not negate the questions asked.
Are they immortal or ghosts?
For the task was given and accepted and they begin it then and there.
They would still need to be working at it and the towns would still need to exist for them to continue the work.
Well in that case I have a better set of questions for you.
“When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
Matthew 10:23 ESV
So are these towns still in existence?
Are those who are doing the work still wondering around waiting as ghost or immortals?
Are these towns going to need to be rebuilt first so they can face what’s in this next scripture?
“Truly I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.”
Matthew 10:15 AMPC
You see my friend you have been deceived into believing the same as the zealots that Jesus Christ came to reestablish the nation of Israel.
He did not, He is the mediator of the new covenant and High Priest that cleanses the temple of God that dwells with in you.
Hence the reason Jesus Christ is the only door by which any man or woman can obtain salvation no matter the nationality or place of birth or past heritage.
The Bible is clear on the harlots destination and they became that harlot when they reject Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of God.
Indeed and you should really read the whole chapter.
“And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;”
Mark 9:9 YLT98
Why wait till after His death to tell everyone what that seen.
This is the scripture I paraphrased in the last post.
Luke 9:27 (KJV) But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Unfortunately for you there are no “ifs” for you to lean on to skew the meaning of the scripture with.
Yes I do just like Jesus Christ told them previously that some standing there would not taste death before His return.
Jesus Christ was speaking of John but I also believe some of his other disciples were also privileged enough to be partakers of the statement by Jesus Christ for many of Jesus Christ disciples are unnamed in the Bible that were probably present during the moment when Jesus Christ spoke those words.
But you go ahead and keep denying the words of Jesus Christ and calling Him a liar because of your misguided assumptions of what you think you know because of your seminary education.
Oh so the “if” you believe is your key to the unraveling of that scriptures implied direction.
So Jesus Christ definitely was not speaking to Peter concerning his spark of jealousy to John and Jesus Christ implied prolonging of John’s life until Jesus Christ returned.
All because of the “if” before the words My and Will.
