    70 AD revisited

    You are not recognizing the Jesus spoke of two different tribulations. One relating to what happened in 70 AD which fulfilled His prophecy that the temple buildings standing at that time would be destroyed. Did you somehow forget He prophesied that? Do you somehow think that nothing in the...

    70 AD revisited

    LOL. What? You can't be taken seriously when you say nonsense like this. What do you call the destruction of the city, child's play? You know you need to completely rethink all of this when you conclude that the tribulation occurs after the destruction of the city. My goodness. Please disregard...

    70 AD revisited

    All you have to do is use scripture to interpret scripture by reading 2 Peter 3:3-13 to see that the comparison to Noah's day is a comparison of the scope of what will happen when Christ returns to what happened in the flood. Just as all unbelievers in the world were killed by the flood, all...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    There's one other thing to point out about this. In 1 John 3:2 it indicates that we will see Him as He is when He appears. This suggests that when He appeared after His resurrection, He did not appear in all His glory as He will when He returns. They would not have been able to handle that. It...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Yes, I did have that verse in mind as well, but didn't end up posting it.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Yes, I understand that He was able to eat and be touched at that point. That's obvious. But, at the same time, He was able to just suddenly appear before them even though the doors were locked. So, He obviously didn't have the same kind of body that we have now, which is really my point. I never...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    A spiritual body doesn't have to be completely non-physical. A spirit is non-physical, but a spiritual body is something different than a spirit. Right. He said it is sown a natural body and raised a spiritual body (1 Cor 15:44). For whatever reason, you deny that the body that the dead in...

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    LOL! Do you ever understand anything you read? That is not my point at all. I'm saying Spiritual Israel includes those who had faith back then, not that they are the only ones who are part of Spiritual Israel. All who have faith are part of Spiritual Israel. Paul said it is the children of God...

    70 AD revisited

    That future fire that will come down when Christ returns will not come down on all but 8 people in the world. Millions of Christians will be spared from that. So, no, in terms of the percentage of people it affects in the world, it will not be worse than the flood. You can't just go by total...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    LOL. No, I'm not. You are the one who is always confused. How can it mean that? It's talking about Jesus appearing. 1 John 3:2 (KJV): Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I don't understand your question. Regarding the human body, Paul said in 1 Cor 15:44 "it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.". That tells me that the change he references a little later, which happens right after the dead are raised at the last trumpet, is a change of the body...

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    LOL. You still don't get it. Have you ever actually read Romans 11? Yes or no? The branches were not cut off by way of death, they were cut off because of unbelief. They are the same individual Israelites that Paul said were blinded and had stumbled, but not beyond recovery. Paul said he hoped...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Yes, he did. It makes no sense to me that you are denying what he explicitly said in 1 Cor 15:44 which is that the body we have now "is sown a natural body" and "is raised a spiritual body". Follow what he said here.... 1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? The only thing you explained here is that you have no reading comprehension skills whatsoever. I never said that I don't accept a physical (bodily) resurrection. Please take an online course on improving your reading comprehension skills. No one said...

    70 AD revisited

    What a ridiculous thing to say. Have you read at all about what happened in 70 AD? I bet you haven't. The Olivet Discourse has nothing to do with reading the news. Good grief.
  16. Spiritual Israelite

    70 AD revisited

    The 70th week hasn't even started yet? How can that be? It says the Messiah would be cut off after the 69th week (Daniel 9:26). That places His death within the 70th week. So, how can you say it hasn't even started yet? Can you tell me your understanding of how the following verse would be...
  17. Spiritual Israelite

    70 AD revisited

    That didn't involve the near complete destruction of a city. How about all but 8 people in the world dying at once like what happened with the flood in Noah's day? Can anything be worse than that? Not really. So, what was the context that Jesus was speaking in? Do you even think about that?
  18. Spiritual Israelite

    70 AD revisited

    Oh, really? It doesn't make sense to think that when Jesus said let those in Judea flee to the mountains He was talking about tribulation that would occur in Judea? Wow, what was I thinking? Clearly, He was referring to global tribulation when saying those in JUDEA should flee to the mountains...

    70 AD revisited

    Yes, I actually just read about that today. And the leather on their belts and such. Again, if people would just take some time to read about what happened back then, they might think of these things very differently. And, it's not as if believing that part of the Olivet Discourse is about 70 AD...

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    A branch cut off? Have you ever actually read Romans 11 carefully? I don't believe you have. Where do you see anything about a branch (singular) being cut off? It's not there. Paul talked about branches (plural) being cut off, not a branch (singular). Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be...
