What definition of preterism are you assuming applies to me when I specifically identified myself as historicist?

That wasn't a doctrinal dissertation.

If you are going to pull out verses 21 then verses 31-39 to make them fit your one character in the future, then what of the other verses in between? What's that about? You are a classic cherry picker...a little bit here and there to fit your narrative. That's not the way to study scripture and...

Bro, we are dirt. We are made from the earth, we were made to work in the earth, animated mud is all we are. Grubby is good.

Just looking at your pics... And forgive this kiwi from thinking this way, but are you sure you weren't sent here by the Lord of the rings?

No. The choice isn't between law and grace. It's between obedience or sin. Better righteousness or unrighteousness. Good and evil. How must I live? Then the choice is in how do I obey? Can I live a sanctified holy committed consecrated life in which I am truly loving God with all my heart...

The fault wasn't in the covenant itself, it was with the people with whom the covenant was made. So the new covenant was based on better promises. What was that better promise? Back to Hebrews... KJV Hebrews 8 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those...

Yes. The fault was in their promise to obey Him in everything. God didn't ask them to promise anything. It's all by faith... Even then.

So, how do we explain this... KJV Hebrews 8 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. If God's promises were faultless, then whose promises did he find fault with which necessitated...

KJV Hebrews 8 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. ( Now remember, there is nothing wrong with God's promises, so the fault doesn't lie within the covenant itself, and Paul affirms this when he says....) 8 For finding fault with...

When I read scripture where it says God gave His only Son I assume God had a Son to give.

If I keep forgetting my password and having to sign in under different names it's going to take me several posts to answer the question of Jesus, what is your name? Or I could give the short version, but ummm,nah.

And when you rethink it, you are not doing any damage to the scripture narrative.

Read the two verses together and get the context... There is nothing wrong with God's promises. That is the nature of God. So you need to rethink your whole perspective of understanding that passage of Hebrews.

Like others, you have some good stuff to offer, but then you wander off a little. Yes, we are to focus on Christ. Absolutely. Through Him we become victorious over our sin, habits, addictions. But the law is still there... It hasn't gone away. And God can and does still use it to remind us of...

Hey bro, you quoted Hebrews 8:8. You need to read it again. What did he find fault with???

Agreed. The born again experience changes our hearts... Our minds... Gives us the mind of Christ which is a mind of willing and loving obedience. That obedience doesn't come to us through the law, but it does make us fulfill the law. KJV Romans 3 31 Do we then make void the law through faith...

Your questions did not arise from that post I referred you to. That blog-post Counterfeit Christianity? was about a specific perspective of Revelation 13... The comparison between the sea beast, the land beast, and the dragon with those characteristics pertaining to the ministry and work of the...

God was displeased with His own covenant? Displeased with His own promises? God has kept His covenant and will continue to do so. That covenant, as promised, was for Israel, which for those who are in Christ includes them, to have land and descendants living on it. The new Earth will happen. God...

We are at the time of the end... Maybe you haven't noticed. So the books of Daniel are now open. I'm not intimidated by your bird shot.
