Right, that's from my post 582, WHICH IS A RESPONSE TO POST 577 BY JBL. I can't help that you, personally, are applying my argument beyond zechariah 14, despite that not being my original intent, since zechariah 14 contains: Elements about the destruction of jerusalem The destruction of...

Because “flood geology” is known as pseudoscience amongst the broader scientific community, including Christian geologists. Ok, so you are refuting a fringe/minority full preterist position, not majority. That it’s completely ironic to demand a fringe full preterist, that believes “the Bible...

My argument was directed at JBL's Zechariah 14 argument. What part about that do you not understand?

I never said, that you said, there was no real extra biblical evidence for a global flood. I understand you personally believe there is extra biblical evidence of a global flood, despite the broader scientific community disagreeing pretty unanimously. I’m not aware of any mainline preterist...

Good grief……..The question by JBL i responded to was specifically about Zechariah 14:1-5, no? I gave the context that Luke 24:44 is about scriptures speaking of the life, death, resurrection of Christ. I gave the context that acts 3:24 is about the prophets speaking of the apostles’ days. I...

This is a “loaded question” if you are implying it is related to Zechariah 14:1-5. I wouldn’t say Zechariah 14:1-5 is an eschatological prophecy related to “God fighting against the Romans who destroyed the temple in 70ad”. So I don’t agree with the question you are asking as it relates to...

the main point is that it’s completely hypocritical to argue that there was a global flood because you believe the Bible says so, despite a lack of any real extra biblical evidence that a global flood actually occurred. ALL WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, demanding that a preterist, who believes the...

Already answered. IF Zechariah 14 is not about the immediate historical context of when Zechariah lived, but is instead an eschatological prophecy, then i would argue its fulfillment falls into Luke 24:44 (Jesus life, death, resurrection), acts 3:24 (the days of the apostles), OR Luke 22:22...

I posted more than just Luke 24:44. Acts 3:24 states the OT scriptures spoke of the days of the apostles. Luke 21:22 spoke of the destruction of Jerusalem fulfilling all that is written. What NT passages state the OT passages would be fulfilled beyond the first century?

No, just dramatics. I don’t have disdain for you just because we disagree about eschatology. Ok, so your life doesn’t rely on any science that was not peer reviewed by a Christian with your specific theological outlook? Nice strawman. I Never disagreed that the enemies are punished at the...

Again, according to the author of Luke/Acts, the law of Moses, psalms, and prophets find their fulfillment, in the following: 1.) The ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ in the first century Luke 24:44 44Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I...

None of these examples state the OT scriptures would find fulfillment beyond the first century.

The author of Luke/Acts presents that the OT scriptures - Law of Moses, psalms, AND PROPHETS - find their fulfillment in: 1.) The destruction of Jerusalem in the first century Luke 21:22 22for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. 2.) The ministry, death...

This statement seems a little ironic. I can’t find serious scholarship nor theological commentary that agrees with your position on how genea is defined/used in the context of Matthew 24:34. It seems it might be your own private interpretation? Strawman. You’ve mischaracterized my argument...

i wouldn’t, so I don’t know what the point of the question was. Your argument assumes the Biblical authors had the same cosmological world view that we have today. Such is not the case as evidenced by OT passages that use ANE cosmological concepts - circle of the earth, the firmament, pillars...

It’s important to take into account historical setting and audience relevance when reading scripture. For example, the ancient near east writers and editors of the Bible most likely had a much different cosmological view of the world than we do today. To them, the Mesopotamian land, was the...

That’s quite the dramatic assumption. I’ll rely on peer-reviewed and well-replicated scientific research any day over some random internet person’s personal interpretation of scripture that ignores proper hermeneutics, such as grammar, syntax, context, historical setting, audience relevance...

Interesting argument; on one hand the flood is global because "the Bible says so" despite secular sources disagreeing, but on the other, Jesus didn't "come on the clouds" within the first century generation because secular sources can't confirm, despite the Bible saying "it would happen in this...

1.) The surrounding context talks about death in the flesh/life in the spirit (vs 1-8), AND the future glory of the redemption of our bodies (vs 12-25). 2.) “Kai” in vs 11 is translated as likewise or also, indicating a parallel: just as Jesus was raised from the dead by the Spirit, so LIKEWISE...

and I would agree -grammar, syntax, and context seem to point that 8:11 is about the resurrection of our mortal bodies. I should be clear that a “spiritual body is raised” is a physical transformation according to many (not all) preterist understandings.
