Partial Preterism is exactly how it sounds. Preteristic thought comes in variyng degrees. There are some who believe that ALL end time prophecy has already taken place. These are FULL or "Extreme" Preterists. There are others who believe that some prophecy has taken place. These would fall...

Uhhhhh, no - you're confusing what Preterism actually IS. As I have repeatedly explained - there are varying degrees of Preterism - and Christ's Catholic Church has NEVER held to the total or extreme Preterist position. At MOST - the Church has always taken the PARTIAL Preterist position...

Nice TRY - but St. Thomas Aquinas wasn't the Pope. Neither was he even a bishop. He was a Dominican friar who was entitled to his own opinions - and that is ALL you have presented - his opinions. If you bothered to actually R*E*A*D what you posted about him - you would recognize that this is...

Ummmm, back in post #997, I asked you to provide me with the actual QUOTES about "25 million" killed. After all - YOU keep claiming that it is our "own Pope" that made this claim. So far you have FAILED miserably to provide ANY historical evidence whatsoever. Gee - I wonder WHY that is. It...

Some alluded to that - but most taught that he was STILL to come. The one thing they ALL seem to have agreed upon was that he would come from the Roman Empire. Irenaeus spoke of Antichrist coming during his own lifetime (Against Heresies) and even made some guesses. The point here is that...

Nobody is making "exceptions" to ANYTHING. YOU are simply too ignorant to understand the concept of Preterism As I schooled you earlier - Preterism is NOT black and white - there are varying degrees. - just as there are varying decrees about a LOT of hermeneutical issues like Sola Scriptura...

The term "Preterism" simply has to do with eschatology in general and not specifically the Antichrist. It comes in varying degrees: There are Radical or "Total" Preterists who believe that ALL end times prophecy had already taken place. Then, there are lesser degrees of Preterism, wherein SOME...

HUH?? We were talking about Peter being the "Rock" of Matt. 16:18. - and the evidence I have presented is overwhelming. Not really sure where you're going with this now . . .

Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 (cont'd) . . . "In Isa 22:22 the key of the house of David is promised to Eliakim. According to Paul, Jesus is the only foundation (1 Cor 3:11), and in Rev 1:18; 3:7, Jesus possesses the key of David and the keys of death and Hades. But in this passage...

Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 (cont'd) . . . **Particularly note-worthy are the words of Martin Luther in his tract called "The Keys," which he wrote 9 years after his excommunication: · "So we stand there and with open mouth stare heavenward and invent still other keys. Yet...

Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 (cont'd) . . . · "But the main answer here is that our Lord undoubtedly spoke Aramaic, which has no known means of making such a distinction [between feminine petra and masculine petros in Greek]. The Peshitta (Western Aramaic) renders, 'Thou are...

Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 (cont'd) . . . "'You are Rock, and on this Rock I will build my church.' Peter is here pictured as the foundation of the church." --M. Eugene Boring, "Matthew," in Pheme Perkins and others, eds., The New Interpreter's Bible, vol. 8, (Nashville, TN: Abingdon...

That's a shame that you took the conversation there, Jay. We were having a perfectly civil discussion- but YOU decided to make it personal. I never did - I simply stayed on topic. Anyway - you don't HAVE to believe what I posted. Look it up for yourself. Look up the linguistic ramifications...

Have you sought help yet?

And this is a BIG, FAT, LIE - an you should be ashamed of yourself for lying. The Mass is a RE-PRESENTATION. Paragraph 1367 CLEARLY states that it is part of the SAME sacrifice at Calvary. We Catholics recognize that His Sacrifice is ETERNAL, hence it is RE-PRESENTED at Mass - He is not...

And it appears that you are ignorant of what “Preterism” is. It is the belief – in varying degrees – that some, much or all of end times prophecy has already been fulfilled. Neither Christ’s Catholic Church, nor any Early Church Father has ever taught radical or total Preterism. The Church has...

There is no “rabbit hole”. The evidence for the Aramaic is OVERWHELMING. As I showed you – WHY would Paul refer to Peter (Petros) as “Cephas” if his name was NOT Aramaic in origin?? Cephas is not a translation of Kepha. Petra, Petros or Lithos can be used for “Rock” in the Greek. Cephas is a...

Cool - the YOU shouldn't have ANY trouble finding those quotes, right?

No, not exactly - and I’ve proven you wrong about it SEVERAL times now. Anyway – it’s time for another point-by-point public spanking . . . Gee – I asked you TWICE now to show me some proof of this – but all you seem to be able to do is repeat the impotent accusations. It’s about as stupid...

Once again - WHO told you that we "RE-sacrifice" Christ?? Where did you hear this - and WHY do you keep repeating this nonsense??
