    OldRegular,

    Correct! That what Abraham was looking for. Abraham was not looking for earthly city - Jerusalem, where it locates in Israel - Middle East as modern city. That old city is filled of chaos and troubles. Abraham was not looking forward for worldly city, he was looking forward for heavenly eternality holy city which is above is New Jerusalem. We we shall dwell with Christ there forever and ever.

    OldRegular,

    Well saying! [​IMG]

    On the contrary;
    Every time the disciples asked Jesus about His Kingdom they were asking about a literal, visible, earthly, physical Kingdom which would have Christ as its King. They wanted to be there and a part of it. Put it in its historical context, (as you say) and you will realize their questions were motivated by two facts.
    1. The promises of God.
    2. The current political climate of the times. i.e. Roman oppresion.

    Fairly simple actually.

    In His service;
    Jim

    You are correct from a historical sense. However I believe that some dispensationalists, who tag the label Liberal on every one else, are making it a matter of fellowship.

    I thought Pat Robertson was dispensational!
