Indeed there was a time when I was the only person on earth who did, but that was a very long time ago....
Understanding the teachings of Jesus comes easier to those who already profess a belief in him.....
It really isn't that difficult. Sanctuary of God = Divine Providence.
Jesus restored the sanctuary of God in the midst of the people by teaching and demonstrating the only right way to interpret and conform to the divine commands that fulfills the promise of eternal life.
Until you begin to actually conform to the law in the way that Jesus taught and refrain from the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate, you will not begin to recover from the sleep of the dead.
You’re not nearly as entertaining as Buffy, The Vampire Slayer.
Maybe so but you are way more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Don't take it too hard if you continue to fail to understand whats going on.
It is written that at the resurrection the dead in Christ will be the first to rise...
So while you are patiently waiting for someone to come and build a temple, all animals to become herbivores, war to end and and death to cease, droves of people from all religions and walks of life are entering the kingdom of God before you..
Is that why Islam and Hinduism are out growing Christianity?
Do you think this is a popularity contest?
Based on your logic you should be an atheist.
On the eve of Christmas 2015, a review of over 174,000 interviews conducted in 2015 shows that three-quarters of American adults identify with a Christian religion, little changed from 2014, but down from 80% eight years ago. About 5% of Americans identify with a non-Christian religion, while 20% have no formal religious identification, which is up five percentage points since 2008.
Now keep in mind many said, "I was born or raised Catholic", or some variation of that. I wonder of the 75% who identified with Christianity, how many of them are true believers. Half? I run into too many people who answer CHRISTIAN when asked but really that's just their knee jerk reaction. I've even been known to do it. Atheists don't say ATHEIST when a religious person asks us what religion we belong to. We know it's not safe out there for atheists. Either physical or mental punishment is dealt to people who say they don't believe. Like for example you won't let your kid play with my kid. Or maybe I don't want my overly religious boss to know. Or my parents.
