We can't deny the Biblical distinction between the Ten Commandments which "stand fast forever and ever" and the Mosaic Law which was nailed to the Cross. Why do you willfully blind yourself to this distinction? Why are you not prepared to answer the question: If the Ten Commandments are no...

Because Romans 2:7-9 KJV says immortality is granted ONLY to those who seek it. The wicked don't seek immortality, and thus will suffer "extinction of being" in the Lake of Fire". Sorry, but Genesis 2:7 KJV tells you and everyone else what comprises a "Soul": "God formed man of the dust of...

In a nutshell, Catholics teach salvation is not rooted in the substitutionary death of Jesus, but was granted by God to the pope and delegated to the priesthood for dissemination only to good Catholics, and that tradition demands total surrender of our entire will to the authority of the Pope...

70 A.D. saw the destruction of Jerusalem. In 70 A.D. the city was destroyed and they tore down the temple buildings to get the gold that had melted and run down into the crevasses, which is not hard to imagine. People expend much resourses and time blowing up dynamite in the hope of finding...

I don't like it when people misrepresent my words. Either display a level of Christian chat room maturity that invites discourse by admitting you jumped to the wrong conclusion, or I'd prefer we ignore each other, OK?

You're not making sense. PLEASE be specific. WHAT ABOUT 70 A.D. so you claim is Jesuit Preterist and Protestant Historicist?

Yes, the experience of the redeemed embodies all that.

Just to clarify, we don't participate in the act of redemption any more than a bankrupt soda pop company can participate in the redemption of their empty glass bottles. If they want their bottles, they must get someone else to pay the redemption money in order to obtain them. Likewise, bankrupt...

You're statement is a non-sequitur, straw man. When I said, "I've been studying Historicism for years..." I didn't mean "...and that's how I know it's the truth" (though I stand behind it as such). I meant "...and thus I'm well familiar with what it teaches", and if you'd taken the time to...

You said Historicism wrongly teaches that Matthew 24 was fulfilled in 70 A.D., right?

This post is really huge, so I just skimmed it. Please try to be a bit less wordy and if necessary, break up your points into smaller chunks. Thanks ;) Suffice it to say, none of that which you speak of has anything to do with the act of Redemption, but with the experience of the redeemed.

Nothing in his post remotely suggests what you accuse Historicists of teaching. I really don't think you understand fully the tenants of Historicism. If you have any quesitons, please feel free to ask me.

This is for anyone who's ever taken a stand for God and found themselves suffering great loss for doing it: Remember, "the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole Earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him." 2003 was a very difficult year...

I've been studying Historicism for years and I've never heard anyone rigidly teach all the events of Matthew 24 were fulfilled by 70 A.D. - only that some are a "dual prophecy" with application in 70 A.D. but also at the end of time, such as the "AOD", fulfilled locally in Jerusalem way back...

Sorry, we are not redeemed until we first accept the Redeemer into our hearts. We might have a bazillion dollars deposited into our bank account, but if we choose to reject it and sleep on the street homeless and begging at the intersection, that deposit means nothing ;)

All this you speak of is not part of the "Redemption" process, which has to do with "buying back" freedom for the sinner who sits on death row, condemned. Everything you have up their listed has to do with after the transaction of redemption is completed and the sinner is now a grace-saved...

Depends on what you mean by "participate". "Redemption" means "buy back" - since the only thing we can offer God is a lost soul, we're incapable of "buying back" our freedom, leaving us hopelessly under the death sentence. How, then, can we participate in the transaction of redemption when...
