Modern Rabbinical Judaism it became impossible to make constant trips to the temple. It was no longer possible for the temple to serve everybody's needs in the way described in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Something had to change, and it did. By the time the church was born and Christians began to point out how unsuitable the O.T. laws were to a dispersed people', it was already too late for such an argument to be relevant. The Israelite religion had by then become what it had not been before; it had become Judaism. WHAT IS JUDAISM? In the words of one modern Jew "Judaism is not the religion of the Old Testament; rather, it is a development out of the ancient Hebrew Scriptures as much as Christianity This doesn't mean, though, that the Jews no longer use the Old Testament: "The issue of Modern Judaism is not: Do Jews still believe the old myths?

Capernaum in Judea: 30 AD: The "excavation date" of Capernaum is anywhere from 50 - 500 AD, depending upon the opinion of the archeologist. There is no "inscriptional date" because no synagogue inscriptions have been found. The "literary date" is 30 AD, since the New Testament has Jesus teaching in the Capernaum synagogue.

(Moshe) Contrary to what Moshe told us, there seems to be no archeological pattern in Jewish temples that we can use to guide us on the temple mount. Part of the reason for this, is because so few Hebrew alters have been found. Alter of Joshua, for example, does not face due east, but exactly NE or SE.

Differences between three different types or Mormons This article shows the differences between three different types or Mormons: Mainline (LDS), Reformed (RLDS) and Temple Lot (church of Christ) Mormons. There are only about 600 temple lot Mormons in the world. They prepared the comparison below. "A Synopsis of the Church of Christ Beliefs and Practices as Compared to Other Latter Day Saint Churches" By Sheldon, William A., "Apostle" of the Temple Lot Mormons: During the lifetime of the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., the church he founded by the direction of God underwent many changes which proved to be a factor in the division which occurred after his death in 1844. It is argued that the church is subject to change because of growth and changing times. This is only partially true. The basic and ultimate requirements must remain inflexible, or else the statement "I am the Lord, I change not"-is found to be false (see Malachi 3:6, Utah D&C 20:17, RLDS D&C 17:4).

Jerusalem Temple Mount: The Charles Wilson and Charles Warren ... ... This fortress, Josephus goes on to say, "was erected on a great precipice," and " stood at the junction of the northern and western cloisters, that is, on the north-west angle of the enclosure of the Temple;" and that "it had passages down to both cloisters, through which the guard (for there always lay in the tower a Roman legion) went several ways among the cloisters with their arms on the Jewish festivals, in order to watch the people." Josephus, in his description of the siege of the Temple by Pompey, BC 63, says that the Roman Commander found it impossible to attack it on any other quarter than the north, on account of the frightful ravines on every other side; and that even on this side he had to fill up "the fosse and "the whole of the ravine, which lay on the north quarter of the Temple;" and in the description of the siege of the Temple by Herod, BC 38, 37, he says, that Herod made the attacks in the same manner as did Pompey, that is, from the north side of it.

"Cast Out For The Cross Of Christ" by Albion F. Ballenger, 1909 ... Again, in the second chapter of Acts, the writer speaks of the "Day of Pentecost;" he does not stop to explain what day that is, but assumes that the reader, from his knowledge of the Old Testament, will know which day the "Day of Pentecost" is THE FIRST VEIL The only Scripture in all the Bible that is used to prove that the term "within the veil" refers to the first apartment, or within the curtain which formed the door of the tabernacle, is the Scripture found in Heb. 9:3. Paul, here, in describing the Mosaic temple says: "And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holiest of all." "There" said my teachers, "that proves that the first curtain was a veil." Yes, it does; but it also proves that the first curtain was the first veil. It will not do to demand that the logic of Paul's statement makes the first curtain "a veil," and then shrink from accepting the full result of that same logic which makes it the first veil. Here, therefore, we have the Apostle Paul ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/7-1909-ballenger-cast-out-for-the-cross.htm

Many of the specific design elements of the synagogue can be traced back to the Old Testament. b. The Mikveh for full immersion is not found anywhere in Moasic Judaism but a unique innovation. However, it likely traces back to the Tabernacle and Temple brass wash laver. c. The benches lining outside walls with columns obscuring the view is also a puzzle.

Freestanding Columns: Antitype of Church and Christians: 1 Tim ... ... At Gush Halav the use and location of the double columns are not clear; three suggestions for their location are presented in Period II-IV: either as the terminal columns on the floor or gallery level or as having been brought to the site in the early Arab period and not having been a part of the original building. A third possibility is suggested by Kohl and Watzinger, who placed them in the corner columns of the back (horizontal) row, which would have created a mezzanine level, and this is the preferred interpretation (Belkin 1990:104-112, Figs. 37-42). The use of the double columns appears to be a continuation of similar corner columns in buildings of the Second Temple period (Gamla synagogue, Migdal I, Fig. II-le).

Praying And Looking For Seekers! You will notice that the only possible breakdown in the whole process is when Christians are not seeking the lost. They are also an essential link. God has always used human messengers to teach the gospel. We can have total confidence that God will answer our prayer because we can be absolutely sure it is His will that Christians teach seekers the gospel. This is perhaps the clearest cut case that fulfills, "You have not because you ask not" Jas 4:2. Following, are two stories of Christians who sought and found "seekers". For those who think this kind of answered prayer must be co-incidence, we refer them to William Temple who replied to his skeptic friend; "That may be true, but I have noticed that when I pray, co-incidences happen; and when I don't, they don't."

Is the RC church infallible and unable to make errors? ... Jeremiah the prophet recorded that false prophets and priests had turned the people from the truth and none were right (Jer. 5:31; 6:13; 8:10; 13:25; 14:14; 23:32). Isaiah said, "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth hath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in. And truth hath been forgotten..." (Isa. 59:14-15). Time and time again the whole Israelite nation left the truth and followed error--Judges 2:10-12; Psalm 14:2-3; 53:2-3; Micah 7:2 etc. Some generations, however, abandoned error and turned back to the Word of God. A good example is when the book of the Lord was found in the temple and reforms were made (2 Kings 22 & 23). The Old Testament examples of the people of God falling away reveal the proper relationship the church sustains with Christ because the New Testament writers declared that those things serve as warnings for us. 1 Cor. 10:11 says, "Now all these things happened to them as a type, and they were written ... ... https://www.bible.ca/cath-church-infallible.htm

Newman, John Henry: Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine ... For instance, the doctrine of a Trinity is found both in the East and in the West; so is the ceremony of washing; so is the rite of sacrifice. The doctrine of the Divine Word is Platonic; the doctrine of the Incarnation is Indian; of a divine kingdom is Judaic; of Angels and demons is Magian; the connexion of sin with the body is Gnostic; celibacy is known to Bonze and Talapoin; a sacerdotal order is Egyptian; the idea of a new birth is Chinese and Eleusinian; belief in sacramental virtue is Pythagorean; and honours to the dead are a polytheism. Such is the general nature of the fact before us; Mr. Milman argues from it 'These things are in heathenism, therefore they are not Christian'. We, on the contrary, prefer to say, 'these things are in Christianity, therefore they are not heathen! ... so the philosophies and religions of men have their life in certain true ideas, though they are not directly divine."
