    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    The shed blood of Christ is for the remission of sin for ALL who are of faith in Him The Old Testament, through the Law and Prophets declares the Promised One would come and whosoever of Old believed, looked forward in faith to the Promised One Who was to come. He came, His name is Jesus...

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    You mean global flood! It was not global genocide for every man because 8 souls were saved.

    I don't mean to be rude, but I'm really not interested in what you "think"! It's what you can prove from the written Word of God!

    To be saved, we must be remade into the image of Christ, born again of the Spirit, which is the first step forward of our total sanctification by God

    Scott, I rebooted this discussion wanting to expand a bit on this part. After mankind through natural seed of Adam lost the likeness and image of God, and became the natural likeness and image of their earthly father, what is the implication of this? Natural man, born naturally without the...

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    You don't believe Christ has already come (first advent) to establish the New Covenant through His cross & resurrection? Hebrews 8:8-11 (KJV) For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Christ didn't give up being the Word to become human flesh. He was a living soul, fully man, and fully God, through the Holy Spirit in Him. The Spirit in Him did not leave Him when He became a man. I agree, the Spirit was not IN the prophets of Old, but according to Scripture, they were...

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    When you consider the alternative, no! God didn't destroy everything that had the breath of life for no good reason, rather to begin again and save some people through the Seed (Christ) that would not be corrupted by evil. For clearly left to themselves, no people would be saved.

    The Great Tribulation Began in 70AD and Continues to This Very Day

    Absolutely! I believe this is why the Covenant of Redemption was a plan ordained in heaven before the foundation of the world. Knowing mankind with complete autonomy would not freely choose to submit to another, not even to the Creator, given free will they would desire to like gods to be in...

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    Who is Israel to whom the promises are made? Is it the ethnic race, physical sons/daughters of Abraham's many seeds, or is it the believing/faithful race. sons/daughters of Abraham's spiritual Seed (Christ)? Romans 9:6-7 (KJV) Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are...

    The Great Tribulation Began in 70AD and Continues to This Very Day

    What was/is Satan? Is the serpent in the garden symbolic for Satan a spirit being? Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? God's...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I will not separate the Word from the Savior! The Word is how we might know and believe the Savior. You know this and even quoted the verse that tells us the written Word of God testifies or is the testimony of/about Christ. John 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Although I have bowed out of this particular discussion, I will continue to uphold these truths you are proclaiming. I caution you though, be careful not to drawn into replying in ways that bring dishonor to God. Many blessings rwb

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Excellent reply TS, When anyone clings to the doctrine of free will denying the curse of the fall it is the reason they cannot accept what is clearly/plainly written in the Word of God.

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    I'm not exactly certain of what you want me to reconcile, but for your consideration, I believe Christ said this because the Jews were expecting the promised Messiah to establish the PHYSICAL Kingdom of God on this earth during this age of time. For this reason, Christ says the Kingdom of God...

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    When speaking of His coming again he changes from the singular 'you' to the inclusive 'they'. Matthew 24:30 (KJV) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with...

    I don't find contradiction between the three! There will only be apparent contradiction when you try to elevate one to fit a doctrine/opinion and ignore the others.

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    I would argue what was fulfilled in 70 AD was fulfillment of the warning God gave regarding the physical/material/natural sons of Abraham, called the nation of Israel. The physical destruction of Jerusalem and the Old Temple in 70 AD made a total and complete end of the Old Covenantal...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    This sounds very noble and honoring to God, but the written Word of God instructs us to give those who are lost in darkness and death the whole council of God. Not just that part that makes them feel good. If the Christ, you present only speaks of God's mercy, but denies God's justice, then...
