The point is, I do not draw a line, except that line which God himself has drawn...before and after the cross.

That is not exactly correct. He told them, not that He did not speak to them in parable, but that it was given to them to understand. On the contrary, He also told them, "All things come in parables." Which is confirmed by the prophet saying, "that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may...

Hmmm...this is indeed a point of confusion. Christ did indeed have a flesh body after his resurrection...but not after his ascension, for it is His ascension that we commonly refer to as the resurrection. But His resurrection was done as a witness, ours is not. That witness was not a witness of...

See post # 171 for what I am saying of the written word of scripture. As for the hundreds of millions, this is the popular and wide path...and what does it say about it? But again, I believe you are mistaking the historic position of the Preterists...that we have missed the resurrection. This...

The word of Christ (scripture) is spirit, but written in parable, that those of the spirit may understand and those not of the spirit will not. In other words, the words alone do not tell all.

Yes, and you should have known that if He went to the Father, whom is spirit, that indeed He has come again in the spirit - just as He went. Or will you say, that He is not here among us even now?

Sorry if I missed your authority to make proclamation, but such matters do not fall to interpretations. Are we still going to kill the prophets of God then, because we have made our own interpretation? Are we whom God has poured out his spirit upon, still not listening to what the spirit says...

John did tell, but in visions, which have been hidden until the fullness of the gentiles comes in. The same slumber and blindness was placed on Israel, and if God has done this to the natural branches for our sake, certainly we are not spared for the same reason.

This is a good point to discuss... Yes, they too have been fulfilled. This is the time of Christ's reign upon the earth with his saints, a time of battle. But many after coming to the knowledge of Christ, have put down their weapons of battle and have begun to tend the flocks and fields, and...

I am not a preterist, and would have to look it up to even be clear on the difference between that and what I know in the Lord by revelation, although I do know it is different. I assure you, each of those things on your list, has been fulfilled, as follows: Following the cross and Christ's...

What prophecy do you believe has not happened yet, and why?

These are always correct - it is the end of the world for some...every day. As for the manifest fulfillment of Jerusalem being taken...it has been taken. As for the Sun and Moon, this is death...which comes to "each in his own order."

If we are "changed" then we do not tell ourselves, but have been told against indisputable truth. And if true, it is not we who hear and believe, but rather it is the new creation of God in us who receives the word unto Himself, and we are simply benefactors. That is the fullness of "following"...

I'm not saying otherwise.

Show me. And then tell me how that reconciles with "it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me."

I see that you have experience the wrong way, and I agree, many churches do a disservice. But that is not what I have been talking about. I have been talking about carrying things through, not just the confession and repentance, but the victory too. Not just the "repent", "take up your cross and...

This has all been covered in the word of God by His providence down through the ages. But if you cannot see clearly to embrace all that has been promised and now fulfilled, then you are not ready to say, "It is finished." You seem to be stuck in that time when salvation was just beginning...

The point and deciding factory here, is that we do indeed have our "resolve" in Christ - not because we have finished our walk, but because Christ has finished His. If we can agree that Christ has "finished", then we should also be able to go on with that which Christ promised of being born...

If you are looking for a "You Are Here" sign, it's not there. You should, however, be able to surmise that we are past the cross, and then determine just where you are in your own personal walk: taking up your cross, following Christ through His victory, or born again of the spirit of God, and...
