There ARE Scriptures which teach a third coming. I have presented them before on this website, and on others. As I said, like me, you have just read over these texts your entire Christian life without recognizing them. The second coming predicted in Hebrews 9:28 does NOT limit Christ's...

I don't really need Josephus to prove it. Scripture does that all by itself. As I have written before, any extra-biblical material which agrees with Scripture content is perfectly fine to submit alongside the Bible's own proof. But if it differs from Scripture, I trash it. Scripture is the...

Actually, it does. You are reading over those passages without recognizing them, just as I used to do. You may never recognize them, and do you know what? That's okay, since our salvation is not dependent upon our level of knowledge, fortunately.

@Nameaboveallnames, I challenge you to do some research on the difference Scripture puts between John the son of Zebedee and the "disciple whom Jesus loved". They are NOT the same. I am not the only one who has recognized this. Others have noticed and written on the same thing. It is easy to...

Yes, we certainly do look forward to this for ourselves. I have always maintained this. But it will be a THIRD coming, and not the second, which has already occurred, just as Christ and all the NT writers promised in the Scriptures.

More ad hominem debate tactics. I don't offer this archaeological evidence above in place of Scripture, but in support of what Christ already said regarding the timing of His second coming bodily return in the first century. Archaeology just backs that truth up.

You mistake the reason why this error was being taught by Hymenaeus and Philetus. They were pointing to the "FIRST resurrection" of Christ and the many Matthew 27:52-53 saints who were still alive and serving in the early church. Because that past resurrection event in AD 33 was "seen of...

Scripture does not back you up in this. By the mere fact that John speaks of "the FIRST resurrection" in Revelation 20, we know that there is definitely more than one such event. And Paul backs this up by describing no less than THREE such occasions in 1 Cor. 15:23-24. These resurrection...

It is impossible for Revelation to have been written around AD 95. Impossible. The internal datable events in Revelation show a late AD 59 to early AD 60 date. Multiple datable events. All of which can be triangulated to narrow down Revelation's composition date to this particular year...

I should also mention the Seibenberg House Museum in Jerusalem. It really is worth reading about. This family started excavating straight down, and since the 1970's have reached the first-temple period level of King David's time and a burial vault from around 3,000 years ago. If I remember...

Revelation was written by John somewhere between late AD 59 and early AD 60, by all the internal evidence of datable events in Revelation itself. But the author of Revelation left this planet along with the rest of the bodily-resurrected saints in AD 70. Because that author of Revelation was...

By now I am used to ad hominem attacks such as this one, which do not at all address the evidence brought forth. It's an empty debate tactic.

We do have today the human remains of those who died before AD 70 still in the ground (like mummies, etc.) But if it can be proved that they died before AD 70, they have to be the bodies of the wicked dead who were left to "perish" in the grave. This was the "resurrection to damnation" or "the...

Of course a thousand years represents time. I do believe Revelation 20 is speaking of a literal thousand years duration. It ended with the "FIRST resurrection", which was of "Christ the FIRST-fruits" in AD 33. Time did not end then. Of course Satan's "short time" represented some amount of...

Here you go... As for your discussion with the other person concerning the James ossuary that somehow they thought proved James wasn't bodily resurrected - that ossuary is empty. Many, but not all of the ossuaries retrieved for study are found empty. Part of the reason for that could very...

No, the prophecy of the two witnesses lying dead and unburied in the streets of Jerusalem is not future. It happened during the Idumean invasion of Jerusalem in either AD 67 or 68, depending on your source. The names of those two men were Ananus ben Ananus and Joshua ben Gamaliel. Both men...

WPM, God never says that there will be an end to "time". Jesus never said He would "put a stop to time" at His return. And there are ages in eternity. Paul wrote about this from his perspective on the timeline. "That in the ages to come..." That is plural "ages" that Paul expected, that...

Of course. Hebrews 6:1-2 gave us six of those non-negotiable foundational pillars as some of the "milk" doctrines that our faith begins with: namely, "repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead...

You do err, not realizing that God is perfectly capable of addressing us in terms of timing that humanity has to deal with. All of Scripture's prophecies which had a time limit put upon them were fulfilled "in the fullness of time", just as God had predicted they would do. It is a vast mistake...

If I had lived back then, the truth would have been worth dying for. It still is. You still haven't answered my question: Why are you so irate that Christ promised His own first-century generation that He would return while some of them were still alive? The fulfillment of this Matthew...
