Objection: THIS MOUNTAIN in Mark 11:23 Refers to the Temple Mountain and Symbolically the Jewish Worship System

JESUS already did away with the old Jewish worship system, under which no one but the high priest could ever enter God’s presence, when He established the New Covenant in His blood.  There is no need for “whosoever” to do it.  “Whosoever” can’t accomplish that any more than “whosoever” could pay for all of mankind’s sins.  Furthermore, the idea of saying that ending the Jewish worship system would be based on some believer speaking to it to be gone and not doubting in his heart that it would happen is rather ludicrous.  This objection is another “grasp at straws” attempt to explain away the plain words of Jesus.  His words make a lot more sense as they stand than twisted to mean something “spiritual.”

Besides, the Temple Mountain is NOT the only mountain that can be removed according to Scripture itself!  Paul put mountains in the plural in 1 Corinthians 13:2: “…and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains…”.  If you could remove more than one mountain, Jesus could not possibly have referred to the one and only Temple Mountain.  That alone is enough to shut down this objection.
