Very well put!

Appreciate your knowledge and passion for truth. Love you bro!!!

I think you are well aware of my general position on Matthew 24. Jesus is responding to 2 questions (relating to AD70 and the second coming at the end). My objection to your position is not you relating some to AD70, it is you ignoring the climactic references to His return. But this is a...

I am not disputing that.

Bro, please settle down. This has been my consistent position for years. I have showed you compelling Scripture that supports my position regarding the end being connected to the second coming. You are resorting to Full Preterist arguments.

Totally disagree. God had abandoned that abolished system. What was left was a religious sham. Take Christ out of the old covenant system and you have nothing. The new rendered the old obsolete. The end of the age is always associated with the future return of Christ. I have already...

No. It ended at the cross. It got a decent burial in AD 70. It was already dead.

These are talking about an event not a process - His glorious climactic return. The detail is crystal clear. This sees the rescue and reward of the righteous and the destruction of the wicked.

That was the awful consequences of their rejection of Christ. But the 40 years were not a time of legitimate God-ordained religious worship but wilful religious rebellion that resulted in wholesale judgment. The 40 years were significant as it was a grace probation period for them to turn. But...

I don't agree. This doesn't make sense. It was dead. It was worthless. It was finished. The new replaced the old at the cross. He gave the Jews 40 years to repent before destroying the temple, but that did not in any way legitimize their rebellious ongoing trust in the abolished ceremonial...

But the OT Jewish economy finished at the cross. The cross is constantly shown as the introduction point of the new new covenant and the termination point of the old covenant. The old covenant is dead. It is gone. AD70 was not the end of the old covenant. That occurred 40 years earlier. When...

But that was not happening in the build up to the cross - the end of the old covenant.

1 Corinthians 13:8-13 parallels, “Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect (or teleios) is...

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. But it is not true. When it comes to time, Scripture shows us that it has a definite beginning and a definite end. Before and after time we are looking at eternity. The beginning of time occurred when God created a means of measuring time – namely night...

Christ spoke about 2 events in Matthew 24. The disciples asked Him to explain those 2 events, and when they would happen. Christ answered those 2 questions about 2 events. Many Bible students (including Preterists and Premillennialists) dive into Matthew 24 without recognizing the intro to...

Yea right! The only thing you have proven is that you are a master of avoidance and your focus and inspiration is in the wrong place. You could not even address the evidence in my post. Objective (and enlightened) Christians see the focus of Scripture as Christ and His 2 Advents. AD70 is...

It would help if you read my post before responding. I never mentioned some future 3.5 years. I mentioned the intra-Advent period. It seems like Preterists are so obsessed with Titus and AD70 that they see them as the apex of history. This is frankly ridiculous. No wonder you do not want to...

That is not true. You are forcing your opinions on the text. Where in the NT does it teach "the last days to which James referred, were the last days of Judah's commonwealth"? What you quote does not say that. The last days refer to the intra-Advent period we are in now. Jesus instigated them...

But Scripture actually teaches the difference. That was what I presented in the Op to give context and support, yet you are yet to acknowledge that. Moses instructs in Psalms 90:3-5: “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Thou...

I was showing you that one's take on time is determined by who is talking and tied to what we are talking about. I stand by that. Scriptures teaches a lot from the divine perspective. I am not sure by you question that.
