[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] Yes, it was David that prepared the building of the temple but he wasn't permitted to build it because he was a man of war. And it was also built under divine instruction. See 2nd Sam 7 for most of that reference... but then there is also the tabernacle which was before the temple. And you're also twisting what I said about Christianity being Judaism. Christians consider themselves Jews, whether by birth [they were descendents of Jacob/Israel] or adoption [they were originally Gentiles]. There are major differences between first century Judaism and modern day Judaism, but I haven't the time to go through them. For the major part, first century Jews used animal sacrafice to cover sins and make them spiritally clean before God [goes back to sin's payment is death, so something has to die]. Messiah's role in Judaism was to bring a perfect sacrafice, make it to where animal sacrafice were no longer necessary because one perfect all atoning sacrafice had been made. Christians believe that it was Messiah/Jesus himself who is the sacrafice, Jews [both those who didn't believe in the 1st century and modern day] do not believe that. At the same time, in the 1st century it was also widely believed that Messiah would return Israel's earthly kingdom, in short throw off Roman rule... many Christians believed that in the beginning too, and Jesus' corrected it. Even today, Jews believe that Messiah will return Israel to it's former glory. The two religions are connected by that, but separated by it also. So anyway, what were we talking about? [/QB][/QUOTE]
