    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I understand how 70 AD seems to fit the prophetic words of Christ. What causes me to conclude Christ was speaking of the end of the Old as being the advent of Christ's cross, is remembering who Christ was speaking to. Yes, they are Jews, but first and foremost in my mind they are His...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    But wasn't there an end of the Old Covenant, and another end beginning, both through the Advent of Christ?

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    While I agree Covenantee, I'm thinking of "telos" is the end of the OT that came through the cross, and 70 AD the resulting desolation of that end?

    No. James 5:8 (KJVSL) Be μακροθυμέω ye ὑμεῖς also καί patient μακροθυμέω; stablish στηρίζω your ὑμῶν hearts καρδία: for ὅτι the coming παρουσία of the Lord κύριος draweth nigh ἐγγίζω. Strong's Greek Dictionary 1448. ἐγγίζω engizo (engízō) Search for G1448 in KJVSL; in KJV ἐγγίζω engízō...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I don't question the Divine perspective. I question that I am able to discern His perspective of time. I have only 24 hour days to guide me, and God resides outside of this time. He is from everlasting to everlasting without time. That's why it is written that a thousand years and one day...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I don't believe man is asked to view time from God's perspective. How would that even be possible since God does not exist in time. Time was given for the natural, physical earth and mankind living upon it. Neither do I believe that I miss deep meaning of heavenly truths because I don't...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    The cross of Christ is the end for Old Covenant Israel. AD 70 is fulfillment of the destruction Christ said would come to the nation, and proof their house had been left utterly desolate.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    It means faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word (Gospel) of God. Romans 10:8-10 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I said: "I've given every verse I found in my KJB, and none of them interpret 'approach' or 'approaching'. None of the 30 verses imply few or even a great many years." The 30 verses don't imply years of any amount, they speak plainly of things that would happen almost immediately, if not...

    The End of the Mosaic Age

    Why do you continually quote verse after verse out of context? What else does Paul have to say about both natural and unbelieving Israel, as well as Israel of faith? Let's allow Paul's words to inform us of Israel that was not rejected by God. Israel that was not cast away by God are Israel...

    The End of the Mosaic Age

    Yes, I agree there are some who are ignorant of the mystery! So, what do you believe the mystery that Paul speaks of is? Paul, without ambiguity tells us that blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL the fullness of Gentiles be come in. Paul NEVER says then the blindness in part to...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    The coming of Christ through His Spirit in us is but a spoken Word away. Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Gospel (Word). Not only is the coming of Christ through His Spirit quick, shortly and near as the Gospel began to be proclaimed unto all the world, but the second coming of...

    Jesus has devised more than one way to bring people to him

    Why cannot both be correct or truth? They are both correct and truth IF we don't read with a preconceived opinion to prove. Unfortunately, you repeatedly use verses out of context to try and prove your doctrine, rather than to prove what the Bible says is truth.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I'm not denying that Christ shall physically come again without any delay! The Scripture leaves no doubt. As I've said I believe the context will determine whether it speaks of things that are now at hand, and near, during this Gospel age, and His coming again without delay, quickly or...

    Strong's Greek Dictionary 1451. ἐγγύς engys (engýs) Search for G1451 in KJVSL; in KJV. ἐγγύς engýs, eng-goos' from a primary verb ἄγχω ánchō (to squeeze or throttle; akin to the base of G43); near (literally or figuratively, of place or time):—from , at hand, near, nigh (at hand, unto)...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Paul, I allow the context written to interpret the time of fulfillment. For instance, when John writes "the time is at hand", according to the context I understand the time at hand is NOT the second physical coming of Christ that is in the far distant future because John is writing of things...

    The End of the Mosaic Age

    If men/women do not come into the spiritual Kingdom of God under the New Covenant during this age as the Gospel is proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit, then they shall be among "the Dead" who shall be judged and have part in the lake of fire that is the second death. This is the age of...

    The End of the Mosaic Age

    The prophesy in Ezekiel 11:19-20 (KJV) And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh. 20 (KJV) That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they...
