What was the reason you copied me on this post? Are you wanting me to respond to what you said here? You already know that I don't find the argument that Jesus didn't answer the question about the destruction of the temple buildings to be valid. Not sure what else I can say about this.

I asked you to explain it to me as well, not just him. So, please tell me how you interpret Matthew 24:29. Of course. I did not say otherwise. But, what is that in relation to? His future second coming when He comes unexpectedly as a thief in the night when heaven and earth will pass away (2...

Does the English word "generation" have only one definition? No, it doesn't. So, what is your point? Tell me exactly how you define it and we'll see if it fits the context of Matthew 24:34 or not. The translators were not inspired by God, but the NT authors were. I believe most of them did a...

Why are you even bringing racism into the discussion at all? I can't follow your line of reasoning sometimes.

Well, I know his understanding of what it means fits 2 and not 2a since it refers to "this generation" and the 2a definition would only fit a first century generation of that type rather than a generation that could still exist up until Christ's return. So, I'm not sure why he said that. @WPM...

Right. That quote talks about escaping tribulation and then after that spending "the rest of your life in serving the Lord blamelessly". So, he clearly was talking about being protected and enduring tribulation while on the earth and, once getting through it and enduring it, then serving the...

You're welcome. I respect your not wanting to be lumped in with all Premills because you obviously have some different views from most Premills. I don't like being lumped in with all Amills when the topic is regarding something that only partial preterist Amills believe, for example. I don't...

Right. There was nothing in any of that text that said anything about anyone being taken off of the earth to avoid tribulation, but instead it talked about being protected while still on the earth. Pre-tribs apparently think we need to be escorted off of the earth whenever trouble comes and that...

LOL. What? You think Matthew 24:34 is about 70 AD and the destruction of the Jews' city and temple, right? Should I then accuse you of "the racialization of the associated Scriptures"?

No, it refers back to the first question in verse 3. If you want to believe that global events were the beginning signs of a coming local event then that's your choice, but it makes no sense at all to me. Also, it's surprising to me that you wouldn't see what is described in Matthew 24:9-13 as...

Don't give me this nonsense. I said it could relate to the human race (mortals) in particular as well. Either way, it's clear to me that "this generation" will pass away when Jesus returns. I'm surprised that you would align with the preterist delusion that was originated by full preterist...

Your interpretation of Matthew 24:1-2 (Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:6-7) is nothing less than a total joke. The disciples specifically were pointing to the temple buildings standing at that time and Jesus said those buildings would be destroyed with no stone left upon another. You think it's talking...

William Hendriksen is one. He wrote the book "More than Conquerors" in which he does a great job of providing scriptural support for Amillennialism. This is how he interpreted Matthew 24:34. William Hendriksen, in his Exposition of the Gospel According to Matthew, interprets Matthew...

That's what your programmer programmed you to say. LOL!!!! How original.

Yes, I do agree. I have clearly said multiple times now that even Cain is part of the generation of vipers because that generation (type of people) is identified by their rebellion against God and by the fact that they murder God's servants like Abel and Zechariah who are specifically mentioned...

LOL. I really hope he is not and is just an AI bot that someone put here to mess with us. It's hard to imagine that any real person could be like that.

He obviously was just making it up that there were ECFs who believed in a pre-trib rapture. I can't believe how dishonest these pre-tribs are.

LOL! Was he talking there about escaping great tribulation by way of being taken off of the earth? No, he was talking about being protected from great tribulation while still on the earth. That does not support the idea of a pre-trib rapture whatsoever. You misinterpret the words of the ECFs...

The guy who says that everyone but him is wrong about everything is telling me to grow up. That's rich.

You're clearly not reading everything I'm saying because that is not what I'm saying. Did you not see where I said that even Cain was part of "this generation"? So, "this generation" goes all the way back to Cain because Jesus said "this generation" is even responsible for Abel's death. So...
