This was already done once, as promised for that first-century generation. All of the dead up to that point - both just and unjust - were judged. God will do the same thing yet again in our future at a final judgment. You, of course, were not an eye-witness of those first-century times, so...

Phoebe was undoubtedly a deacon. Women were serving as such in the early church. Yet we have the instruction in 1 Tim. 3:12 for male deacons to be the husbands of one wife. Therefore, this proscription against polygamy for male deacons did not prove women could not be deacons. In the same...

Great, you have agreed that the terms of Christ's prediction for the gospel preached to all nations was fulfilled in Paul's own days. That means the particular end Christ referred to could then come to pass back then, since the terms of that prediction were fulfilled. Just as Peter and Paul...

You are dismissing Peter's own statement in 1 Peter 4:7, saying that "the end of all things is at hand" in his own days. Paul also in 1 Cor. 10:ll wrote to the believers, addressing them as those "upon whom the ends of the ages have come". There was a culmination point that was present for...

That is immaterial. Regardless of whether new national divisions of the regions of the globe have been made since AD 70, it's the same planetary regions in question. This does not negate the fact that Paul wrote that the gospel had been preached to every creature under heaven in his own days...

The timing of Christ's return which became dated to Pentecost day in AD 70 can be found in Ezekiel Daniel, and Zechariah. #1) Ezekiel 46:1-3 describes the rebuilt temple of Zerubbabel with its "gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east" The people were to worship facing the door of...

This Hebrews 9:28 verse is not a proof-text disproving a third resurrection in our future. It can't be used as such. It only teaches about a coming second time appearance of Christ for those looking for Him, which I am also saying. Christ predicted that His second coming return would occur...

Peter did not say the entire globe would be burned up. He said "the earth and the works that are therein" would be burned up and "dissolved". "EARTH" here is "tes ges", which more often than not in the NT refers specifically to the land of Israel. In the AD 66-70 period of the "Great...

You are misreading my comment. I wrote that the disciples fled Jerusalem and Judea in OCTOBER of AD 66 when they first saw "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" with the Roman army of Cestius Gallus and the Zealot leaders' armies inside Jerusalem opposing them. This flight to the mountains was NOT...

Then you are calling the Apostle Paul a liar. God had more than just the Apostles spreading the gospel to the nations of the world in those first century days. Christ raised up an evangelistic force of 144,000 First-fruits, resurrected from the dead on the same day that "Christ the...

Do you need a list of all of these "wars and rumors of wars" that occurred in the first century? The "birth pangs" began with the persecution of the disciples when they were being beaten in the synagogues, and brought before the rulers of the Sanhedrin and their councils; being put to death for...

Luke 21:20 interprets for us Daniel's "abomination of desolation" as being "Jerusalem surrounded by armies". The disciples were to recognize these encircling armies as the time to flee Judea and Jerusalem, so as to escape the "days of vengeance" coming upon "this people" - the first-century...

Jesus fulfilled His promise to bodily return before some of those in Israel that heard Him speaking to them had died (Matthew 16:27-28). This is not what Full Preterism teaches at all. Full Preterists also deny the next future bodily return of Christ for a final bodily resurrection event for...

Yes, the gospel had already been preached to all the world nations in the first-century generation, according to Paul in Colossians 1:5-6 & 23, and in 1 Timothy 3:16. "...the word of the truth of the gospel; which has come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it...

The years leading up to AD 70 were replete with just such tragic events as Christ predicted for that first-century generation. "Terrible even in peace", was the way Josephus described it . The wars and rebellions breaking out during those times are well documented. Likewise the surge in...

The "roots" of the "First-fruits" term is found in scripture's own use of the term under the Mosaic laws for OT Israel. This is what supplied the symbolism for the later fulfillment of the bodily resurrection events for the saints. Scripture is full of this "harvest" imagery for the...

Try this question: Why does Christ in Luke 21:7-35 say of that entire list of predicted troubles in the Olivet Discourse that His disciples were to "watch ye then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are ABOUT TO COME TO PASS, and to stand...

John wrote Revelation 12:12, warning the believers of his own days that Satan "has come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth he hath but a short time". This "short time" in which Satan was then actively deceiving the nations of the world in John's days was the same as the Rev...

Why should a delayed return of Christ lead anyone to that bizarre conclusion? We are currently in the tumultuous transition process leading to the beginning of the last, 7th millennium beginning in AD 2033. The world as a whole I believe will pass into a fallow "Sabbath" type of millennium...

The context of Matthew 16:27-28 included the return of Christ in the glory of His Father, with the angels, when He would give rewards to everyone according to their works. Question for you: If this return in Matthew 16:27-28 was referring to Christ's resurrection, what rewards were given to...
