    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Agreed! Hebrews 8:13: “In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old (palaioō, worn out, decayed, declared obsolete). Now that which decayeth (palaioō, worn out, decayed, declared obsolete) and waxeth old (gerasko) is ready to vanish away.” After Christ’s death and the ripping...

    The End of the Mosaic Age

    I agree with much you say, but totally disagree with your assumption that the end of the age is the end of the Mosaic age. The Scriptures do not teach that. You are forcing your own opinion upon the text. Nowhere does Scripture use the phrase "the end of the ... Mosaic age" or apply that to...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh [Gr. eggizō - present active indicative]. Are you saying this is not talking about the coming of the Lord? Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    From who's perspective? That is my argument. We either look at the events of life from God’s heavenly perspective or from man's earthly perspective. As humans, we tend to look at things from a natural, earthly, temporal standpoint. That is why we miss the deep meaning of heavenly truths. For...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    In one breath you admit a second meaning relating to the second coming, in the next you deny it. So, you are fighting with yourself. I have to disagree. The cross was. The old covenant died then. It was finished. It was given a decent burial in AD70.

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    The Scriptures above negate your thesis.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Strong’s Definitions: To bring near, to join one thing to another. To draw or come near to, to approach.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Peter warns the “last days” mockers that such a day will (1) catch them unexpected, and, (2) involve the immediate, complete and final judgment. He cites the total destruction of the unrighteous in Noah’s day as a picture and evidence of what will occur. 2 Peter 3:5-6 confirms: “For this they...

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    Hello! Breaking news: we have entered the new covenant. The old is gone forever. Race means nothing today. It is all about grace. The Gospel is open equally to Jews and Gentiles alike. There is no racial favoritism any more. Thank God! None of us disagree that God is not finished with Israel...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    The phrase “at hand” or “near” is taken from the single Greek word eggizō, and simply means “approaches.” It is not time-specific. It can mean immediate or distant future, like our English word. In fact, it carries the exact same sense as our English word. It carries a broad meaning and does...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    You are arguing these Scriptures re the coming of Christ all have a double meaning and double application.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Origen went down this same road and rendered Scripture a non-literal indistinct ongoing spiritual parable. With your approach, you could make Scripture say whatever you wish. Basically, it is not referring directly to anything. It us up to the reader to apply it arbitrarily to any event or era...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    You are not directly addressing the Op, the points or the questions here. You are just expressing your opinions.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    You are making Scripture vague, non-specific, cryptic and indistinct. What other biblical authorities share your understanding?

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh [Gr. eggizō - present active indicative]. Are you saying this is not talking about the coming of the Lord but rather the giving of the Spirit 2000 years ago? Romans...

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    But i think you need to consider the eternal aspect of this truth. That is what He is pushing at IMHO.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    There are so many contradictions and butchering of the sacred text in Preterism that it is hard to know where to start when refuting it. The most troubling aspect (of course) is their dangerous, obsessive and unbiblical fixation with the coming of Titus and AD70, instead of Christ's person and...

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    So, is Christ-rejecting Israel God's chosen people?

    The False Idea of Replacement Theology

    The New Testament Church has not replaced anybody. “Replacement Theology” is a moot term that Dispensationalists have invented to falsify the position of those they disagree with. Dispensationalists created this bogus term in an attempt to stem the growing rejection of Dispensationalism. That is...

    The Covering Dynamic

    Hebrews 10:18 says, “there is no more offering for sin.” You say the opposite. You say there will be countless more offerings for sin. You fail to see: Calvary completely finished the Old Testament shadow and type. That is why there is no more sacrifice for sin. I find your belief...
