Well now, yes, Seeker, I can see it clearly now. I've been saved! This is just the sort of absolutely clear, unequivocal message that Xtians often quote as providing their unerring faith with it's moral and ethical compass. A message with a singular inescapable interpretation!

I KNEW it! There IS a secret decoder ring! How do I get one? I've been saved, you know!

BTW, Campbell, to your off-OP points about the ARK, I'll just slip this in, hopefully unnoticed...

Eye-witness accounts are only considered valid to a judge and jury if they come from unbiased un-involved witnesses. Even then, a good telephone recording, video or security camera record helps a lot. If The Larger Congregation of The Church Of The Unsustainable Truth Seekers heads up a mountain-climbing expedition to "prove" that the Mt. Ararat Basalt outcropping is, in fact, an old boat, can we reasonably believe them? How much is at stake for them even before they leave this country? Their fellow believers will be saying "Please please prove it's the Ark!" or "Don't let those scientists with you disprove anything!"

In your mind, is there ANY possibility that the Xtian contingent might just come back with a slightly biased account? On behalf of scientists everywhere (we at least openly admit our limitations...) I'll happily admit to the possibility that the science side might come back with an incorrect assessment, but then there'd be another follow-up expedition to re-test those scientists' questioned findings. That's called reproducibility and peer-review, and it's conspicuously ABSENT in ALL Christian so-called investigations and eye-witness accounts. If that were even a bit more prevalent, we'd believe more of what you say, but unfortunately there's the past consistency of your researchers' bad methodologies. For decades! After a while, you guys have sorta gotten a bad research "rep", y'know?

That's where honest science comes in (which, BTW, is the most common peer-reviewed kind, just to keep everything honest, you understand). When the Turkish government finally allows some open-minded researchers up there, in the summer, with no ice to deal with or obscure anything, and with good HD videos and close-up photos to completely validate or refute it, you, my friend, will be in for a big dissapointment. But if I'm wrong, I'll EAT a complete Holy Bible. Without any Tabasco Sauce!

Unfortunately, the standard Xtian response to even a fully accredited and photo-validated rejection of this Basalt Ark would be to denegrate the findings, denegrate scientists, denegrate even your mother if need be. Anything but acceptance of the truth. How dangerously sad.

To which I repeat; "Unerring Faith is The Shield Upon Which The Truth is Dashed"™. Again and again. And then, again. Well at least you guys are consistent!

P&L2A rflmn™ And so to bed.

How can we have a rapture before all the bible prophecies have been fulfilled?
This prophecy was never fulfilled in the past, it will be fulfilled in the future. Also, you can have the rapture and easily have this prophecy fulfilled. And the reason I say that, is because after the rapture you will still have 1,000 years of human existance here on the earth. And I might add, much of the prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled, after the rapture.

I will now quote the quote I quoted which I will comment on.
Informal translation from Hebrew of the 28 Adar II, 5768 (4 April 2008) statement:

The Sanhedrin - Great Court of 71
Special Court for Matters Concerning the Nation and the State
(Operating autonomously) 'Let animals live' organization appeals against the Symposium on Korban Pesach

On Thursday evening, 28th of Adar II, Yehudah Glick, General Manager of the Temple Institute, and Yehoshua Friedman, one of the rabbis of the institute, prepared an halachic question for the court, as follows:

The Temple Institute is registered with the interior ministry of the State of Israel and regulated by the office of non-profit organizations.

The institute will host a symposium on Sunday, Rosh Chodesh Nisah, 5768 in Yeshivat HaKotel.
The day is dedicated to studying the laws related to the Temple, and the laws connected with the Korban Pesach (passover sacrifice).


The full name of the institute: The Institute for Study, Research and the Building of the Temple.

So there is the official name of the organization involved with the Temple building.
The institute holds lectures in all parts of the country, and is well known in many countries.
It appears they have a notoriety of sorts.
Approximately one hundred thousand people visit the institute and its exhibitions, and they come to learn about the commandments and laws connected with the Temple,

100,000 people hardly constitutes the majority of Israel who according to google is your friend and this site The Jewish Population of the World there are as of 2006 - drum roll -


5,313,800


Now of the 100,000 people, it does not say they are all Jews.

with the hope that one day the government of Israel will allow the rebuilding of the Temple, and reinstitute the sacrificial system as it was in days past.

Let me see if I can translate that. Hmmm - there is HOPE that ONE DAY the government of ISRAEL WILL ALLOW the building of the temple and re institute the sacrificial system as in the days of yore.

Pretty self explanatory.

Did I mention this is presented by:

The Sanhedrin - Great Court of 71
Special Court for Matters Concerning the Nation and the State
(Operating autonomously)
It turns out that an organization called 'Let the animals live' has made an appeal against a symposium on this subject. In particular, [the protest] against an instructional sacrifice as part of the gathering.
See here, the article begins to address the protests of the animal rights folk.
In light of the above, we turn to the Special Court for Matters Concerning the Nation and the State, to clarify how we should act in response to the attempt by Jews who have disowned the Torah of Israel. Their purpose is dissuade observant Jews from studying the Torah of Israel and keep its commandments as they were given by the mouth of the Almighty at Sinai.
In light of the animal rights bit.....appeal to Special Court...
..how we should act in response to the attempt by Jews who have disowned the Torah of Israel.
Seems there is the evidence you missed.
Also given that the organization turned to the secular court, that does not recognize the Torah of Israel, how should we act in response to the possible judgment of the secular court - a judgment that comes to prevent observant Jews from observing the Torah of Israel according to their faith?
...the organization turned to the secular court, that does not recognize the Torah of Israel

There it is again

Let me see. The animal rights folk appeal to a secular court who DOES NOT believe in the Torah....
Decision of the court
Study of Torah is one of the founding principles that help maintain the existence of Israel, as the sages have said "The study of Torah outweighs all [the other commandments]".
Well the red part sure does not seem to line up with what the constitution of Israel thinks about Israel.

I am sure even here that you will agree the study of the Torah outweighing the commandments of God to boot is stretching the truth some.

Did I mention this comes from:
The full name of the institute: The Institute for Study, Research and the Building of the Temple.
Aka
The Sanhedrin - Great Court of 71
Special Court for Matters Concerning the Nation and the State
(Operating autonomously)
The Study of the Laws of the Temple and its sacrificial system in public is an established tradition of the Jewish people for countless generations. Those who study receive financial support from the contributions of the Jewish people (Rambam, Sheqalim 4:4).

hmmmm. I must have missed the part where they claim financial support by the State of Israel...hmmmm... nope not there

It does say:

Those who study receive financial support from the Jewish people
Israeli Law[1]
Let us see what [1]means Israeli Law:


Scrolls to footnote and finds - drum roll -
Not referring to the secular state.
This regulation from time immemorial, was legislated by Moshe Rabbenu, as it is brought in the Talmud (Megillah 32a) 'Moshe fixed for Israel, that they should ask and expound upon the matters of the day: the laws of Pesach (Passover) on Pesach; the laws of Atzeret (Pentecost) on Atzeret; the laws of Chag (Tabernacles) on Chag ' This has codified by the Rambam in Hilchos Tefilah 13:8. Accordingly the institute should fulfill its duty by holding its symposium.
Lots of tradition and ancient religious claims.
These facts should be sufficient for the secular court, should you be obligated to summoned to their court.
Rabbi Dov Stein, acting Justice,
participating in this judgment,
Rabbi Avichai Rachimi,
Rabbi Yosef Elbaum


References

1. Not referring to the secular state.

So the entire article (of the Temple rebuilding Jews) Hachrazah the manner how they (a minority) are to deal with the SECULAR Israeli courts with respect to the Animal right folk.

How in God's Name can you NOT see that this is PROOF that these folk DO NOT represent the Majority of 5 MILLION Israelis?

Were they a force to be reckoned with, why oh why is it necessary to call a Sanhedrin into session?

There is MY PROOF that the rebuilders are merely a fringe group. The fact that this article discusses an Animal rights case is neither here nor there in light of MY PROOF of their small numbers of representation.

However, they would need to win this as animal sacrifice for your perverted scenario is required to resume. If the STATE does not grant them these rights, they are pretty much screwed and should they choose to do this illegally, they will be likely jailed.

Thus you are now required to show us - in light of all your wild claims of the temple being rebuilt - just how are they going to become the majority to overturn any current legislation that allows them to observe their religion but denies them the right of rebuilding and/or animal sacrifice.

You really do not think there will be a global outcry if they were suddenly to start slaughtering animals ritually as sacrifices do you?

This is dated 4 April 2008 so it is not an old outdated one like your links provide and it comes from the horses mouth so to speak, viz. your temple rebuilders.

Now if you have any honor, you will go back to where I posted the stats of the Jews and their religious beliefs earlier in this thread, then also demonstrably show us exactly HOW a minority is going to achieve this mammoth task.

We shall be waiting with baited breath.

Well, there use to be people like you who would say, the Jews would never return to Israel, and they will never retake Jerusalem. And they may of even said, "we shall be waiting with baited breath". Yet, they don't have to wait anymore, because the Jews return to Israel and Jerusalem, is a fact. I'm sure they gave all their good reasons and arguements why something like this could never happen. Yet in the end, they were all wrong. And they were wrong, because they opposed what the Bible clearly stated. The author of the Bible is all knowing, and can see into the future. You will discover down the road, that your human logic will fail, especially when you oppose the Biblical God, and His truth. And do you really think God's plans well not be allowed because of a human court. LOL. Boy, you don't have a clue do you? Remember, God used non believers to fulfill His East Gate prophecy. He got non believers to build the Porch Gate, and then He got non believers to seal the Porch Gate. When God wants His temple built, all human opposition will be swept away, I can assure you.

Yes , they will not be allowed as the majority of Israel is Secular not religious.

You have no clue as when refuted you default to ad hominem attacks.

You have been squarely refuted using the self same sources you have cited, namely your temple rebuilder nuts.

Anyway, if Jesus prophesied the temple's destruction, why would God now want His temple rebuilt?

See your logic is circular - you cannot defend your position even from the bible when you make these dumb statements.

In fact, your whole argument falls flat as the supposed rebuilding is to take place by those who would worship the antichrist or his hologram in the new temple - so how is God going to assist that which opposes Him or His will?

Furthermore, the rebuilding has to coincide with the tribulation hence if a mid tribber, it will need to be erected in 3.5 years.

Yet:
1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1Co 3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,

2Co 6:16 And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.

You are so far from the truth it is unreal - you just choose to believe the myths of the futurists.
