Hmmm. It seems that you are bringing bias into your understanding of verses 30-31 in that case. You are trying to find a way to make those verses unrelated to all of the surrounding verses, but I don't see any way to do that. What I'm wondering is how you can reconcile those verses with your...

That is how I used to interpret it, and I still think it's a valid interpretation. But, I lean more towards believing it's either talking about a generation in terms of a time period (in that sense, a generation is normally 30 to 40 years) or to the people living during the time which all the...

Right. Such a temple, if it was built, would certainly not be the temple of God. The temple of God is a temple that God dwells in. We (the church) are the temple of God and He dwells in us.

No temple built by unbelieving Jews in the future would ever be called "the temple of God" in scripture. The temple of God is always a temple that God Himself dwells in and He would never dwell in a temple made by Jews who reject His Son. God will never dwell in any temple made with human hands...

Ah, so this thread has nothing to do with you trying to promote your preterist interpretation of Matthew 24:34? You expect us to believe that?

I do address the issue. I'm just giving my opinion as to what must be the reason that you misinterpret so much scripture. It's not because of a lack of effort. I think you rely too much on your own wisdom or the wisdom of others and you seem to think that people like Joseph Thayer are always...

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in...

LOL. He was talking about what someone else was apparently suggesting. You have the worst reading comprehension skills I've ever seen.

LOL. Your claims are utterly ridiculous. No one takes you seriously. So, I guess you don't accept what is written in passages like the following. Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he...

LOL. You continue to do nothing but provide laughs. So, do you agree with ChatGPT about the age of the earth then? Why aren't you addressing my argument? Do you think ChatGPT is ever wrong? You seem to think it can't be wrong.

This is complete nonsense. It's one thing to use that resource to see various definitions of a word. But, it's another thing altogether to trust Joseph Thayer's opinions on which definitions apply to which verses. To put your trust in him for that is no different than putting your trust in...

Do you disagree with that? He did not say anything to contradict what I was saying. You, like many here, have poor reading comprehension skills.

What are you talking about? Please explain what you mean here.

If you interpret it to be talking about the Jews living at that time long ago, then how do you interpret Matthew 24:29-31 as relating to a future time? The context strongly suggests that the second coming of Christ and gathering of the elect would occur when "this generation" is fulfilled.

Yes, that is correct. So? Giving all the possible definitions for a word isn't really based on someone's doctrinal beliefs, but choosing which definition applies to any given verse can definitely be affected by one's doctrinal beliefs. Now, what I'm saying here is in relation to him...

Why is that? That's how you come across to me. Just being honest. I'm sorry that you are offended by someone giving an honest opinion. The Greek word "ge" is translated as "earth" in both Matthew 24:30 and Matthew 24:35 in a vast majority of English translations. You obviously don't trust the...

I never said you told anyone that specifically. I'm saying that your false doctrine can encourage that type of thinking. Are you reading what I'm saying or not?

LOL. You are truly hilarious. If you're not a comedian, you have missed your calling. AI can sometimes give facts and sometimes it gives opinions. To act like everything it says is fact and is true is about as naive as anyone can be. If you ask ChatGPT how old the earth is, it will say about...

Do you not think there was any difference in the world from the time prior to Christ's first coming and after? Scripture says that before Christ came and shed His blood, the Gentiles had "no hope" and were "without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:11-12). Has that been the case since Christ came...

You will get nothing but silence from preterists on these questions because, like Premils, when their beliefs get challenged like this, they go silent. Their false doctrine does not hold up to scrutiny, but they don't care because they are content with believing a doctrine based on cherry picked...
