@farouk It can also help others who see the tattoo. It can remind them about faith and when they have one too many not to cause trouble and take a taxi home. It can remind them about many things and some of the people they had met when they were going to Church. And if their name suggests that they are from another religious background but the tattoo suggests something else like the sign of the Cross, or a reference to a Bible verse it can be a reason to start a conversation.

Christ's kingdom will never be physically on this earth

I could bever imagine that. I never thought about shoes till I asked the question. This is what I know that we stand before Jesus as we are without our Heavenly body. And it must be so. It cannot be in any other way. As we are waiting for his decision. And yet we will be guided to Heaven. I do not think they will be just drop there and be left on our own. I am thinking if it will be a ceremony where we will be clothed with our Heavenly bodies and I will be very excited because the last time I looked in the mirror I was very old. I don't think the disformed from accidents they will stay disformed for eternity. -

To God it's done. The old is out. To the believing Jews who came out of the Old the New has come. They commemorate the Old Covenant from the Mount Sinai Moses brought down to them. And the Celebrations God had ordained in the Old. And they thanked God for Jesus Christ who died for the forgiveness of their sins. Peter said it's done. The New has come. Jesus is Glorified. What Jesus said in Mathew 24:29 had been fulfilled the time Peter spoke the words in Acts 2:20 by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Of course in the New Earth Sinners are call to have their sins forgiven in Jesus Christ. Peter preached the Gospel in the Day of Pentecost. And it happened in the New Earth. This is how we know that the Old has passed away and the New has come. Peter told the people who were in the Day of their yearly Atonement that they were in their sins. And Peter told them that the New has come they can have their sins forgiven in Jesus Christ. -
@Starise Mathew 24:29 and Acts 2:20 Mathew 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Jesus foretold what will happen after his ordeal, the whole package, He said: "the distress of those days", including his death on the Cross to people who were able to understand him. Who knew they dependent on the various stages of the face of the moon. And the light of the sun. The beginning of their Religious Year and all their Celebrations in the Law were dependent on the various stages of the moon 🌙. The Crescent 🌙 for the beginning of the New Year and the beginning of the months. In the first month on the full moon they Celebrated the Passover. And for every month it's about the same. The Celebrations of the New moon and on the 15th the Celebrations on the full moon. Till the Day of Atonement and the Days of living in the Tents. The Jews knew that without the Sun to give his light to the moon they are lost. They would not have the moon to begin their New Religious Year and to follow the GUIDING STARS to the day of Atonement Their wouldbsay : The Lord does not want us to continue to our religious practices? Because without the different faces of the moon we are lost, everything is gone They will be in their sins. This is what Jesus said to them: that if you do not believe in me "you will die in your sins ". This is it. They lost the moon and the monthly events ":their GUIDING STARS that leaded then to the Day of Atonement. They will be and remain in their sins. Jesus Christ was Glorified after his death and Resurrection. He said to His disciples on the road to Emmaus: "Don't you know that it is written in the Law and the Psalms and the prophets that the Son of Man had to die first before He will receive his Glory. Jesus has been Glorified. The Law of Moses with everything in it the moon Celebrations and the Atonement are gone from the position of God. Acts 2:20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord coming.

Did Christ come to go to the Cross?

But yet this is sufficient. For the forgiveness of their sins. If they die the next moment all is well. They will die to Jesus Christ. -

The much more is for men or for Jesus. PS I never refused clarification to anyone. Your statement is the same the Greeks said to Paul. Is not a bad one. The Jewish reaction to Paul was a bad one and they called him according to their interpretations of the scriptures non complementary names at the least in their thoughts. But some of them wanted to know. And Paul gave them his time. I quoted Paul when I responded to your post. That made me wonder why you did not get it. And it is not the first time. -
yes I have and I just did but does that have to do anything with Matthew 24:29 and about the last days in Jesus Christ statement? Mathew 24:29 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

That is a true statement in the sense that it includes the Jews. This is why the Gospel had to be preached to them. And they were the first ones to here the Gospel and believed and their sins were forgiven in Jesus Christ. A word of caution because I did not include their works. Only said hear the Gospel and believe and their sins were forgiven in Jesus Christ. One more time I did not say that they asked for forgiveness because I said when they believed it happens. The moment they believed, it happens as they believe. I did not say what they do in deferent groups of believers only I said what is in scripture. -

I am not in agreement with some of the things you said in the above quoted statement. In your statement is not mentioned that as children we have the mind of our family for our quidance even the mind of every one who took part and influence our upbringing. And at the same time we have our own mind. For this reason your statement is incorrect. We do not have only the Holy Spirit to quide us in Life. Many Spirit are competing for this position and we end up to be quided by many Spirits at the same time. This is why we should test and give the preeminence to the Spirit of Truth. We must learn to discern the quidance of the Holy Spirit. The quidance of the Holy Spirit is the same quidance Jesus will give us. As adults we speak and often we are wondering what we are talking about. And that can go either ways. We often correct ourselves along the way. Or we misguide our self without being conscious. What we read in the bible and it is possible and it's good to want it it's one thing and the reality in us is another reality. This is why we have to learn to discern. The truth is that the Holy Spirit is not the only one that quiding us in life. This is why we our being corrected day in and day out. We need to be careful. That's all. -
The Bereans heard Paul's message and they said let's see what the scriptures say because Paul was reasoning with them from scripture. In this example bellow from Hebrews 1:2 we have statements in verse one. But the specifics are not given. BWhen Hebrews said something about the last days, he was referring to those days that had already pass. During the times Jesus sojourned in Israel. He said: God has spoken to us through his Son. Referring to something that has happened. We do not know if the specifics the Hebrews had considered were from Genesis or from other sources as rabbinical teachings. The discussion should be centered around the specifics and establish that they are found in reference to Genesis. But we are not given the specifics. Study the Berean way it cannot be done without the specifics and to establish that they are from scripture in Genesis or they are outsource and identified their origin. Like when Philip and the Enuch discussed Esaiah 53 they had the specific words in Esaiah 53. In verse two he is speaking to believers in Jesus Christ and yet without s scripture reference. For the study of the scripture itself. With Paul it was a very different situation. As he spoke to unbelieving Jews and reason with them the specific scriptures for days. We don't have the specific scripture references but we have the information that he did that with them. Later he said quite a few things to consider and made more statements but did he give the specific scripture reference for the Berean study? Did he give specific references of scripture to support his conclusions? Reading scripture can we say "here is the scripture that Justify what he said". In our days many speak giving scripture reference but they do not let us know of the study of the scripture it self. They claim it supports their statements but they do not show the specifics of their study to prove it. And very often the study of the specific scripture it says something else. Speaks of something else. The Bereans were testing but they were testing Paul's sayings. But did they allowed them selves to be tested in the same way? Today they say "the Bible says" but they did not got to know the specific context and test the context. They make statements about the context. And they do not test their statements in reference to the context. It's about the context of the statements Jesus made that "the moon will turn into blood and the stars will stop giving their light and fall to the earth ". Mathew 24:29 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[a] Acts 2:20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord coming. It's about the Glorious Day, the Magnificent Day of Jesus Christ. We need to ask our selves: Did Jesus had his Glorious and Magnificent day? And when was that? Hebrews 1:1-2 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

@truth7t7 Revelation 21:1KJV 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And there was no more sea is referring to a group of people. It's referring to a mass of people liken unto the sea. To a huge number of people apart from another group of people. Definitely smaller in size. There was a large group of people the Lord God could not sit down and judge them. For this reason we had the sea the Nations who were not Judge by the Lord because he had a Covenant with the Israelites to Judge only them and He gave them the Law to Judge them according to it. In the New Covenant Jesus Christ is the Judge of all the people of the world. This is why we have no more sea. The place they were kept or were destined to go there is no more. Death and Hades have surrender every one to Jesus Christ for their Judgement. They lost their authority to take the people of the Nations by default. No more sea. When You know that Jesus Christ is the Judge of everyone in the world and that the dead of the world have been Judge. Death and Hades have surrender the Keys to Jesus. They also cannot enter that place anymore Their new place is in the lake of fire. -

In the New we do not have the multitude of the Gentiles. We don't have sea. There are no Gentiles in the New Covenant. Only the man who is ready to believe upon the hearing of the Gospel. Former Jews and former Gentiles. -

We are born and die in the New Earth and in the New Heavenandin the New underworld . God has reconcile the world unto himself. Jesus has died. All authority every where in the Heaven above and in the Earth and in all things under the earth has been given to him. He is the Lord of Lords. Unless you are of those who do not believe in Jesus Christ that he is the Messiah. -

For me they have. I am well grounded in the Gospel just like day and night that there is nothing they can do to make me renounce the faith of Jesus Christ. For some others it will happen when they die as believers. Nothing they can do to anyone who dies a believer in Jesus Christ. This is no truth. It's far away from the truth as the day from the night. Think about what you are saying again. In Heaven we will be proclaiming his majesty. Not just us but also the Angels. Just our presence there it proclaims his GLORY. You mix it up. He Crushed our bodies, the sell of where we used to live with his iron rod. There is no used to eat. Just like the clay from the earth to the earth. In Heaven He will give us our Heavenly bodies. We all must appear before him as we are after we die and after we are escorted to Heaven then we will been given the Heavenly body. It cannot be to cloth us with the Heavenly body before we are there. Ever changed configurations. He can come as a thief but He does not have. We are ready for him. He is welcome to come anytime. Our hearts are open. We are not closing the door of our hearts to him.. He can come as simple and asking for a glass of water. We will open the door of our heart to him. -

No, according to my mother we are in the New Covenant. We are in the New Heaven and the New Earth. Death and Hades have surrender to Jesus Christ the Keys of their Domaine. What Authority they had before is given to Jesus Christ. My mother has enter Heaven about ten years ago. She is with Jesus Christ. Heaven has changed. Jesus Christ is the Judge of all the people of the world. Death and Hades are defeated they surrender all the people in them to Jesus Christ to be Judged by him. Definitely there is no see in Heaven. No unbelievers in Heaven. No one in Heaven is waiting to be preached the Gospel. Everyone there has heard the Gospel while yet alive and believed. No undecideds in Heaven. Jesus Christ is welcoming people in his name. Everyone in his Life. Everyone is under his Grace because they have believed in him. He died for them so they can be with Him for ever. -

We are in the New Covenant since the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. We are living in the New Earth since 2000 years ago. The task of Paul it was to informed the people he met that we are in the New Covenant. Paul tried to remove their ignorance by informing them that we are in the New Covenant. That God had reconcile the world unto himself in Jesus Christ. Paul preached that the New has come and to thing and live like we are in the New Earth and New Heaven and the New underworld. Everything has changed. Everything has become New. Do you want to look on Earth? Is the order the same as before? Do we still have Jews and Gentiles, is Abraham still waiting for the Messiah of God. Is the Heaven still close to Mankind. -

It says that "He will Judge amongs the Nations". When the prophet said that the Lord did not Judge amongs the Nations. He was the Lord of the Jews and he was judging the Nation of Israel. He was the Lord and God of the Jews only. It is not about their time in the Sinai Covenant. In the Sinai Covenant He was the Lord and God of the Jews only. And He sat in Judgement of the Jews only, his people only year after year according to the terms of their Covenant with him. According to their religious Calendar and their obedience to the Law and the book of Leviticus regarding clean and unclean. The prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 2:4 and Micah in 4:2 described those events taken place in the New Covenant. When they spoke those words every make born in the Nation of Israel and the sourounding nations was train in the arts of War from very young age. They were all soldiers. Are we not living in the time of Micah 4:3. In the time the prophetic was written there were wars continuely. The men were born to be soldiers all of them. They were trained from very young to fight for their existence. But we are not in their position for quite some time. As we grow up we are given books and we learn trades. We given the tools to make a living and we live our lives in peace without a war. We do not know how to fight a war. And Jesus Christ is the judge of All. This you cannot deny? 4:3 He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. -

I am not agreeable because you did not stay in the same context. The context is the follow. They came over to war with the Christ of God and his people and along the way at some time there after they turned their weapons into tools to work the fields . And they joined the people who came to fight in their work in the field of Jesus Christ. Who are you Lord. It's me, It's In other words they were introduced to the Gospel from the people they came to fight against and at some time later they became their co-workers in the field of the Gospel. -

It happened and is happening in the New Covenant. Verse 34 in this context Jesus is speaking to the Jews and to his disciples and everyone who was there. To the Jews before they died. But it was also the same for the rest of the world. In this life people can multiply. Women give birth. And we know that seizes after we die because people are in the spiritual form. Non in earthly material. In verse 35 Jesus is not referring to the life after death in General but to the Life after death for a very specific group of people. Jesus is referring to the children of the resurrection. To the children who are in Jesus Christ, about the people who will believe in him when the Gospel will be preached to them after the Cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's a future reference when the believers in him will die and wellecome by him and when the are in their Heavenly body. Which has no earthly material at all. Jesus is telling that at that time they will be like Angels who do not multiply and they also will not multiply. That there is not multiplication, and many other things as they were in the Earthy life before they die. Jesus specifically points to his believers after their death who are in their New Heavenly bodies. Because some of them were teaching some things to the contrary. No multiplication for the people of God in their Heavenly bodies. The point is that they are not earthly anymore and are not connected to the earthly matters as they were before they died. Their abode is Heavenly as they are Heavenly beings. They are like the Angels. Can the Angels come and leave on the earth like earthly beings when are not earthly? Do they need a home to protect them from the Earthy elements? From cold and heat and wind and hunger and to they need to have a wardrobe and furniture to secure their belongings to they carry suitcases with them or travel by train? And who is going to be the contactor and the rest of the staff. And traveling from where and to where? Can people in their Heavenly bodies live on earth? Can we have a mixed population living together on earth? -

In this post we have the distorted version of the Poter. If he is a Poter only to have the right to destroy the vessels then he is portrait as an intruder who has break into his shop perhaps and destroys his workmanship his creations. But this is not what the message intents to comunicate. He is the Poter he has created those vessels in the past and the time came that he created some vessels that they were unparalleled in workmanship and he said that's how I want all the vessels in my home to be. And he took the task to himself and got rid of the vessels that do not fit to the New standars. It is not that he destroy all the vessels his house but the vessels that were in his house that they were inferior to the new model. This is what happened at the time Jesus ushers in the New Covenant and God established the Forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ for everyone in the world. When anyone believes in him he is or becomes the New Creation of the Poter. The Old creations at the time of Judgement who claimed that we are your children according the older way but they had refused to put on the new way and be the vessels of the New Creation the Poter does not want them in his house. Simply they do not belong there. The older vessels of his creations should accept and adapt to the new standards of the Poter. Simply said to believe in Jesus Christ and become the New Creation of the Poter. Or in an other application some vessels claimed that they belong in the Potter's house but they are not the New Creation of the Potter to be of the New Creation with His Spirit and His Life in them and when the Poter finds them he destroys them. Only the vessels found with his Life in them remains in his house. Or the Poter said that the vessels that belong in my house and are my workmanship this is about Jesus Christ who let us know that we can't be with Him in his Heavenly house in the house we already belong with our earthly house or earthly body and at the time of our physical death the Potter destroys our physical bodies because he want us without our physical bodies and the Potter does not need at all our earthly bodies to give to us the Heavenly body or to cloth us with our Heavenly bodies. Don't offend and mention to him the earthly body.
