    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Did Paul also say the Gospel that was preached in all the world was a witness unto all nations? It shall be preached unto all nations, that is, to the Gentile world; not only among the Jews, but among the nations of the Gentiles. "All nations" means even those Gentile nations of the world that...

    The folly of Preterism

    No Matthew, it is you who sets a certain time for the return of Christ. As a Full Preterist you say He's already come. Most Christians of true biblical faith simply believe Christ shall come again at the appointed time when the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is complete. We don't speak of...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    By the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, John writes he must reveal unto Christ's servants things which must shortly (without any delay) come to pass. Then John gives blessing to he that reads and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are...

    Why Preaching Is Important

    Though not all are called to be preachers, all are certainly called to be a witness for what the Lord has done for them by His Gospel. Why must we tell people about the Gospel of Christ, the Word? Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. Paul tells the Church in Rome why it is...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    I agree the definition cannot mean some 2000 years later. But where do you find Scripture to support your opinion that 'shortly' or 'quickly' can be defined as around 40 years? Here in the KJV of Scripture are the twelve places we find something defined as coming 'shortly'. Which of these...

    Define the Scriptural use of 'shortly' and 'quickly'.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Yes, the evil Jews that murdered the Son of God were natural Israel, or Israel of the flesh. God's Covenant through Christ is not made with natural Jews, but Jews of faith. Only those Jews who are of the supernatural Seed (Christ) of Abraham received the promise of everlasting life through the...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    The Jews living in Jerusalem in 70 AD most assuredly did experience "great tribulation" when Jerusalem and the Temple were utterly destroyed. But, as you point out "great tribulation" Christ warned His disciples would come is associated with proclaiming the Gospel unto all the earth. Great...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    In His discourse Christ understands how His disciples do not yet have understanding of all He is telling them. They would not fully understand until Pentecost when they see the prophetic words of Christ beginning to be fulfilled through the outpouring of the Spirit. It was through the Spirit...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Yes, I understand as a full Preterist your faith relies on physical fulfillment, which is NOT biblical faith! In fact your so-called faith says Christ is a liar if He did not return when you believe He said He would. Not only do you lack true biblical faith, but you also lack understanding of...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    I don't see anyone here saying they doubt Jesus will keep His word regarding His coming again. The problem you seem to be having is in thinking if He did not return within the generation of those disciples living then, then you believe He would be a liar. Where is your faith? Why do you doubt...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    It's not an issue of loving you Matthew! It is an issue of loving biblical truth! Full Preterism is not truth, and the reason your doctrine is being discounted, and attacked.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Sadly Matthew, what it most likely means is that you are being led, and have not become as the Bereans. If you have no answer for inconsistencies in your doctrine it should tell you the doctrine you espouse may not be truth. Acts 17:10 (KJV) And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and...

    Yes, and the more he is questioned the more it will be shown he has been indoctrinated by lies.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    He can only answer to what he has been taught. It appears his teachers may not have addressed the inconsistencies this doctrine forces upon Scripture. Those who cling only to what others have taught them without doing the hard work of searching out the Scripture for truth will always be tossed...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Yes, but you claim whosoever denies He has already returned make Him to be a liar??? Of course you cannot biblically prove this assumption, but you say anyway that's ok because you have faith that demands physical fulfillment, and if Christ has not already returned He is liar??? You are...

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Of course his doctrine is nonsense! It is built upon whatever he guesses or thinks without biblical verification for even what he calls faith.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Sadly it appears your entire doctrine is built upon whatever you GUESS! You claim to stand on faith, but you don't even understand what true biblical faith is.

    A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON FULFILLMENT ESCHATOLOGY

    Don't you even realize the faith you profess is not believing in the words of Jesus, because faith does not hope for things already seen! Your so-called faith turns Christ into a liar if redemptive history is not according to whatever your mind conceives as truth. I would hope that you...
