That makes absolutely no sense. WHat kind of a logical fallacy would that be called? There was a Temple when 2 Thess was written. The idea of a third temple is not in the passage and it would never occur to the letter's recipients to concoct one in their mind. You are ignoring a basic rule of hermeneutics. Who, What, Where, When, Why.
Perhaps, but I am not going to show you why that is incorrect until you show me and everyone else here where the Bible mentions a temple will be built in our future. Not a verse in which it is inferred another temple will be built but an actual verse that actually mentions a temple will be built in our future.
Where does scripture state the beast will have its image there [in the third Jewish temple in Jerusalem]?
John wrote Revelation around 96 AD, during the reign of Emperor Domitian which is after the 2nd temple was destroyed.
Source on that?
*Because Irenaeus, Eusebius, and Jerome said so? Well, Jerome made some real doozies of mistakes in translation.. and RCs don't have a great history of veracity with regard to doctrine.
Multiple sources.
I'm happy to see that you presented when it actually was written.
He was guessing. We're talking a 20 some year window, where one makes it a relevant prophesy to the (then) current Church.. and another a 2000 year prognostication.
Well then...why did he guess wrong?
Why do RCs guess wrong about all they do? God knows. You never addressed the scripture where Jesus states "these are the days of vengeance to fulfill all that was written.." in regard to the Destruction. What do you make of that?
Where does 2 Thess 2:4 say that is another Temple besides the one that was standing at the time? Where does it say Paul is referring to a Temple besides the one that was standing or anything that states a third temple will be built?
@ Thes. 2:4 does not actually state another temple will be built. It most definitely does not state another temple will be built in our future. It simply says some guy will set himself up in the temple as God. The fact is there was a temple standing when Paul wrote those words. The fact is there were two temples standing when Paul wrote those words and the original, first century readers would have understood those words in that context. They might have wondered, "Is Paul talking about the stone building in Jerusalem, or is he talking about the body of Christ?"
No way in heaven and earth they'd have thought, "Oh, Paul is talking about some other temple, a temple that is going to be built more than two millennia from now by a bunch of people we've never met after we're all long dead, buried, and resurrected." That interpretation is exegetically preposterous.
That is incorrect. The late date is based on hearsay from one of the ECFs, not something objective or objectively verifiable. Late-dating is losing it credibility every day. Modern futurists stay couched in Darby instead of the evidence because the minute an early date is accepted Dispensational Premillennialism falls apart. Even if it was written at the late-date, there was still a temple standing at that time and it would have been the temple the first century Christian would have immediately considered - and consider well before thinking it was some then-non-existent temple to be built in the 21st century (or later) long after those readers were dead and gone. That interpretation instantly renders the passage irrelevant to the original readers.
Exactly. I have only said that to him about twenty times. I don't suppose it will have any more acknowledgement this time around.@ Thes. 2:4 does not actually state another temple will be built. It most definitely does not state another temple will be built in our future. It simply says some guy will set himself up in the temple as God. The fact is there was a temple standing when Paul wrote those words. The fact is there were two temples standing when Paul wrote those words and the original, first century readers would have understood those words in that context. They might have wondered, "Is Paul talking about the stone building in Jerusalem, or is he talking about the body of Christ?"
So..... my question still hasn't been answered. Neither the Revelation verse nor the 2 Thessalonian verse mentions another temple being built in our future.
I'll give you credit for the effort, and I appreciate the attempt because it finally came, but it is not an answer to the question asked. Neither verse mentions another temple built in our future. Give it one more try.
Where does scripture mention another temple will be built in our future?
