We know His words will never pass away, the actual words exist forever. When it says till heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle shall pass till all be fulfilled, it can’t be talking about the words themselves passing away. Since your position is that heaven and earth haven’t passed...

Statement A) There is no physical evidence of alien life from outer space on this planet. Statement B) There is no physical evidence of dead believers, who died before 70AD, on this planet. Tell me, would I be delusional if I didn’t believe in space aliens? Where is the archaeological...

I take that as a “no”, you don’t have any archaeological evidence and are relying on the assumption that Revelation was written after 70AD.

Yes, and the Jews are meticulous about their dead. It would seem that there would be a good probability of finding some human remains of a patriarch if they existed. They knew where David’s sepulcher was in Acts 2:29.

Well, this thread is about archaeological evidence. Do you know of any archaeological evidence that suggests there wasn’t a resurrection or coming in 70AD?

Thanks for taking the time to create this thread. I can’t argue against anything you said. I guess unless someone can produce reasonable evidence of human remains of a believer who died before 70AD, then, as you point out, the lack of physical human remains points us in the direction of there...

Can we briefly deviate from the OP for a moment? What are some of the archaeological proofs? I had a discussion with someone and he pointed out James’ ossuary as evidence that James wasn’t bodily resurrected in 70AD, although that ossuary is suspect of being a forgery.

At some point in time everyone who isn’t a full preterist is a heretic. The only disagreement is when that point in time occurs. You might want to reconsider your statement unless you don’t think the scriptures will ever get fulfilled.

I agree, the whole entire Bible is useful for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction. Can you elaborate on how Hebrews 10:37 specifically applied to the Hebrews to whom it was written?

I know this is kinda obvious but the book of Hebrews was written to, well …, Hebrews. It wasn’t written to Gentiles. I would think an unbiased exegesis would’ve made that point clear under the specific applications.

Hebrews 10:37 meant that He was going to come shortly and He did come in 70AD. That verse got fulfilled just as it said it would.

Ok, but here’s the problem, two people can both make the claim that it is by that Spirit by which they are speaking and those two people disagree on how to interpret a verse. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets...

Ok, fair enough, but if two people have different interpretations of the same verse, the interpretation that has the most corroboration with other verses tends to be looked at as having a higher probability of being correct than an interpretation that simply claims it’s true because that...

Yea, but what kind of leaven is in your bread? Every one of us can claim we have the truth given to us by the Holy Spirit yet there probably aren’t two people on the planet that completely agree on every single verse. Why should we think your (exegete) method of determining what has been...

In Matthew 23:35-36 all the righteous blood shed shall come upon this generation. Some people will say it’s referring to an evil and adulterous generation, meaning mankind is divided into an evil generation and a righteous generation and the evil generation must pay for their own sins while...

I agree, there is also the problem of thousands of different views on what a future literal mark of the beast is. There would have to be a universal consensus among all Christians as to what exactly the mark is else some people could inadvertently get the mark.

I agree with you on this. The scapegoat gets released into the wilderness after having all their sins and transgressions put upon its head in Leviticus 16:21. Do you see that first century apostate generation of Jews as being the scapegoat?

Exactly, John 3:16 is not true if the OP is correct.

I have no problem saying the two witnesses are the law and the prophets but there is quite a bit of correlation between John the Baptist and the two witnesses also. Here is a list I made of the things that I see that connects JtB to the two witnesses. Matthew 11:14 JtB is called Elias but in...

Yes, I completely agree the 1290 and 1335 days have no other requirements on them other than what is stipulated in Daniel 12, it is the number of days between two time posts. I often find myself trying to make as many things as possible fit with a specific time period because that seems to give...
