I could say the same thing to you! It appears the Preterit reads all of Scripture through their preconceived Preterist doctrine. I too looked for about a minute at the doctrine you espouse. It didn't take me any longer to realize how comfortable the Preterit is to spiritualize all that does...

Marty, The four horses IMO are the same horses we read of in Zechariah. But the message is now changed instead of bringing a message of peace, the horses are sent out to fulfill the prophecy of Haggai. Zechariah writes they were sent by God to walk back and forth upon the earth. The report...

Marty, have you ever considered the vision in Rev 6 is a continuation of the vision John was given beginning in chapter 4?

That's simply a prayer for the whole person. That the spirit within the physical being (soul) along with the body of believers may be found blameless when the Lord comes again. The body + spirit is a living soul. But the body without the spirit is a corpse. A prayer for the well-being of the...

I agree the soul/spirit are intricately linked together, but when man is born again through the Spirit of Christ, the eternal life we receive through the Spirit within our spirit is eternal. Eternal life man possesses is spiritual life that even after physical death continues to be a living...

Thank you both for your prayers. I'm happy to report that I have restored vision 20/20 to my right eye and in about two weeks will have the same (hopefully) with my left. Right now things are a little blurred because of the drops, so I'll try this again when things are better. Hope you have a...

At the same time the Lamb who is God came riding a white horse which is always symbolic of purity and righteousness (which is what the white robes symbolize) there came also the other three that in various ways are symbolic of the ones who cause all manner of evil and death. They are red, black...

This is why we become so confused between spirit and soul. A soul is what mankind is as long as there is life. That life in humans is both eternal spiritual life we have when the Holy Spirit is within us after we physically die, and physical life we have as long as our body has breath. Both...

I agree the two are related, however the spirit is within, and a living soul is what mankind became when breath came into our body through spirit within.

Just as all of humanity are through Adam's seed sons/daughters of Adam, and as natural, physical descendants we too take part in Adam and share in sin that leads unto death, so too all from humanity who are of the Seed (Christ) supernaturally, have part in Him and share in His resurrection that...

But what you're missing Freedm is how "this generation" alive during the first generation AD was a mixture of "this generation" Christ was speaking directly to, and "this generation" who were indeed wicked and of their father the devil. You yourself know that Christ was speaking to His...

Marty, the verse says, "her child was caught up to God, and to His throne." Christ did not ascend up to God and His throne through His Spirit, not as a baby, but after His crucifixion. And forty days later after resurrecting from the grave, Christ was seen physically ascending to heaven in a...

John's baptism was never for the forgiveness of sins, it was to prepare the way for Jesus who would baptize with the Holy Spirit all who believed and repented of their sins. John's mission was to go before Jesus to give knowledge of salvation through the Lord by the remission of their sins...

These two verses don't appear to agree with you. John's baptism was not for forgiveness of sins, it was given that they might repent/be sorrowful for their sins. Mark 1:8 (KJV) I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Matthew 3:11 (KJV) I indeed...

Marty, there is nothing in the passage to indicate a break in the timing of Christ's birth and the war in heaven when Satan and his angels were cast to the earth. When Christ says "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out" He was talking about Satan...

Let's try this another way. If the Gospel of the Kingdom of God had been preached in all the world to be a witness unto all nations, why wasn't the Kingdom of God complete in 70 AD? Was the Gospel of the Kingdom preached not able to do what Christ came to do, since it was sent in the power of...

This all began to take place when Christ ushered in the spiritual Kingdom of God, that will not be complete until the Gospel of the Kingdom has been preached in all the world as a witness to all nations. I know the Preterit uses verses found in Scripture saying the Gospel has been preached in...

According to what is written to be fulfilled was not fulfilled in 70 AD. For example it is written: Matthew 24:31 (KJV) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Why were...

Yes, as Paul shows us where the Spirit is (within you) there is liberty or freedom. What about where the Spirit is not found, does mankind in unbelief also have the same liberty?

While I agree with much of what you've said here, would you say that mankind descending from Adam & Eve still has freedom of will to choose good or will they always naturally choose evil?
