I do not think that! Why do you lie? Do you think lying helps your case? It only makes you a liar that no one should take seriously.

So, the answer to my question is yes, you are afraid to directly address what is written in Mark 13:1-2 (Matthew 24:1-2, Luke 21:6-7). John 2:19-22 is not a parallel passage to Mark 13:1-2. It's dishonest for you to act as if it is. The Olivet Discourse is not recorded in the book of John.

Just because I agree with preterists on this particular thing doesn't make me a preterist any more than a preterist agreeing with a futurist about one thing makes them a futurist. So, stop wasting time with this nonsense. If you can't comprehend the idea of hyperbole then I can't help you...

Nonsense. The blood of Christ was retroactively applied to OT saints who looked forward to His day like Abraham. There is no other name by which someone can be saved! (Acts 4:12) and all saved people are part of the church. Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the...

Thanks for sharing your beliefs, but I don't find your post to be convincing at all. Please back up your claims with scripture. If you just share your beliefs like this, it doesn't mean much to me because I see nothing to back them up.

It's called in Revelation 3:10 "the hour of temptation". So, Jesus was not necessarily talking about keeping them from being killed, but rather about keeping them from being deceived. You need to look at the context. What are you talking about here? Do you believe the following verse describes...

It seems that you missed the point entirely. The Greek words translated as "keep" and "from" there in Revelation 3:10 are "tereo and "ek". They are used in this verse as well: John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep (Greek: tereo) them...

Of course I do. It's not chronological to what came before it, right? Yet, you are acting as if the entire book is chronological. We have one clear example where that is not the case, but for some reason you don't allow for that to be the case anywhere else in the book. The reason must be your...

No. While I may agree with preterists in their understanding of Matthew 24:15-21 (Mark 13:14-19, Luke 21:20-24), I disagree with them on the rest of the Olivet Discourse. Or most of it, at least. Even preterists differ to some extent in how they interpret it. For example, preterists don't...

No, it does not. You are trying way too hard here to prove how spiritual you are or something. It has caused you to come up with some ridiculous interpretations. The temple they went out of was the physical temple standing at the time. After going out of it the disciples were looking at it from...

LOL. No, there were not. Where are you getting that idea from? The temple buildings were completely destroyed. What evidence do you have to show otherwise? Yes, it most certainly can. What temple did Jesus and His disciples go out of there? What "stones" and "buildings" were the disciples...

Are you afraid to directly address the passage I quoted (Mark 13:1-2)? Seems like you just believe what you want to believe instead of accepting what passages like Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2 and Luke 21:6-7 indicate. Can you paraphrase the following passage so I can see how you interpret it...

No, it is not. Not at all. I couldn't care less about that. Why should I? You have the wrong focus. Edit: Just to be clear, I said this from the perspective of gaining any insight about Bible prophecy from their beliefs. Certainly, it's worth knowing what they believe from the perspective of...

Just quoting scripture without any commentary on why you are quoting it proves nothing. This does not have the same context as Revelation 3:10. This is talking about escaping the wrath that will come down on "that day" which is the day of Christ's return. Revelation 3:10 is talking about being...

No, it is not. Knowing what scripture teaches is critical to understanding how the end times events will be fulfilled.

I am aware of that, but you are allowing their beliefs to influence what you believe will happen. That is not wise.

So, are you telling me that what is recorded in Revelation 12:5 (the birth and ascension of Christ) happened after what is recorded in Revelation 11:15-19 (relating to the seventh trumpet)? Why would he need to do that? Clearly, Revelation was intended to be spiritually discerned. That's why it...

I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about you asking for proof that Christians fled Jerusalem in 70 AD. You wouldn't have asked for that if you believed that happened, but then you tried to act like you already believed that. Do you always ask for proof of things you already believe...

Who do you think you're fooling here? I don't deny that Jesus talked about His body as a temple that would be destroyed. But, He also talked about the physical temple buildings being destroyed. Do you think no one is noticing that you're afraid to answer my question about what temple Jesus was...

You're skating around the issue as you so often do. There is no indication in the text whatsoever that the verse is addressed to anyone except for the first century church in Philadelphia. So, you are adding things to the text that are not there at all by trying to say that verse is addressed to...
