JLB In my personal opinion ( not reflective of CFnet ) that site is antichrist...
I think that the term "antichrist" was meant to indicate a belief (or even just a person) that heard of, knew about, and understood what and who Christ said He was, but still after knowing, CHOSE to deny the deity of Christ.I would agree with you, in that anyone who denies Jesus is Messiah...
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
On the other hand, we were all antichrist at one time before we confessed Jesus as Messiah and Lord.

Agreed JLB... seeking Godly wisdom from an antichrist organization seems goofy to me...

I can't see how that would pertain to the majority of people who became Christians when they heard the Gospel of the kingdom, that Jesus and the followers since then taught.
I don't necessarily believe they fit the definition of an antichrist organization, but I'd still like to ask them if they wouldn't be satisfied with a tabernacle instead of a temple. After all, a tabernacle was good enough for Moses and David. In fact David was found unworthy by God to built a temple. Does the temple institute feel they are more worthy than King David?
that is the LORD, David's home was beached in that it was severed from the promise of the throne. when Jesus came he restored that. the idea that torah needs a temple isn't to be found in both Judaism nor Christianity. its a blessing yes but not a mandate. remember god honored what was in david's heart. he never told moses to build a temple. sure the chassidics want it. they teach that its most blessed state with the Heshem, but either the moshiac does it or they do it and then the moshiac comes and restores the torah fully.Amo 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

the Ramban says(and he is a jew whom argued against jesus being the messiah) that the third temple would be a fleshly one.Psa 61:3 - For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
David's tabernacle, his shelter, is the LORD. It is not a construct made with human hands. Now read Amos 9:11 with Christ in mind and we see the resurrection, the ascension, and the growth of His Body the Church.
ok, as in what jesus said and paul said. that we are the temple of God. its based on the three wells Isaac dug up.To be clear what kind of fleshy do you mean.. ?
which would be what im saying but his commands are also to considered part of this. the torah is seen this way. I take that torah to be jesus. TOG will like that.YLT
Jer 2:13 For two evils hath My people done, Me they have forsaken, a fountain of living waters, To hew out for themselves wells--broken wells, That contain not the waters.
Not comparing this to the Isaiah scriptures but talking about wells reminded me of this one.
