At some point in time everyone who isn’t a full preterist is a heretic. The only disagreement is when that point in time occurs. You might want to reconsider your statement unless you don’t think the scriptures will ever get fulfilled.

I agree, the whole entire Bible is useful for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction. Can you elaborate on how Hebrews 10:37 specifically applied to the Hebrews to whom it was written?

I know this is kinda obvious but the book of Hebrews was written to, well …, Hebrews. It wasn’t written to Gentiles. I would think an unbiased exegesis would’ve made that point clear under the specific applications.

Hebrews 10:37 meant that He was going to come shortly and He did come in 70AD. That verse got fulfilled just as it said it would.

Ok, but here’s the problem, two people can both make the claim that it is by that Spirit by which they are speaking and those two people disagree on how to interpret a verse. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets...

Ok, fair enough, but if two people have different interpretations of the same verse, the interpretation that has the most corroboration with other verses tends to be looked at as having a higher probability of being correct than an interpretation that simply claims it’s true because that...

Yea, but what kind of leaven is in your bread? Every one of us can claim we have the truth given to us by the Holy Spirit yet there probably aren’t two people on the planet that completely agree on every single verse. Why should we think your (exegete) method of determining what has been...

In Matthew 23:35-36 all the righteous blood shed shall come upon this generation. Some people will say it’s referring to an evil and adulterous generation, meaning mankind is divided into an evil generation and a righteous generation and the evil generation must pay for their own sins while...

I agree, there is also the problem of thousands of different views on what a future literal mark of the beast is. There would have to be a universal consensus among all Christians as to what exactly the mark is else some people could inadvertently get the mark.

I agree with you on this. The scapegoat gets released into the wilderness after having all their sins and transgressions put upon its head in Leviticus 16:21. Do you see that first century apostate generation of Jews as being the scapegoat?

Exactly, John 3:16 is not true if the OP is correct.

I have no problem saying the two witnesses are the law and the prophets but there is quite a bit of correlation between John the Baptist and the two witnesses also. Here is a list I made of the things that I see that connects JtB to the two witnesses. Matthew 11:14 JtB is called Elias but in...

Yes, I completely agree the 1290 and 1335 days have no other requirements on them other than what is stipulated in Daniel 12, it is the number of days between two time posts. I often find myself trying to make as many things as possible fit with a specific time period because that seems to give...

That’s a good point, those who agree and worship the beast aren’t the ones he makes war with, it’s the saints that the beast is at war with. If AI is the beast then at some point it has to turn against the saints. Maybe a good question for ChatGPT would be how or by what method it sees itself...

But wouldn’t AI deny it had world dominance, especially if it understood that it was the beast? AI would be deceiving people into thinking peace and safety and AI dominance wouldn’t be considered peace or safe by most people.

I agree with most everything you said in post #1,180. The one thing that I would disagree with, although I don’t think it’s a major difference, is when Jesus started His ministry. After Jesus was baptized He went into the wilderness for 40 days. Matthew 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John...

Well, that’s interesting but if AI is the beast then the beast is now interpreting scripture and I guess it could be that anyone who believes AI could also be considered worshipping the beast in some form or fashion.

I do agree with the calendar needing to have an extra 30 days added every so often to keep the spring feast days in the spring. I have no issues with Jesus’ ministry being 1,290 days. Here’s a possibility of how the 1290 and 1335 days could be interpreted. We could say the daily sacrifice was...

Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) Hebrews 7;27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered...

Ok, we have two different ways of looking at how John wrote. You are saying when he says “now” he means now at the time in the narrative timeline, not now when he was writing. I’m saying when he says “now” he means at the time he was writing not at the time in the narrative timeline. Let’s...
