Why are you not addressing anything I said specifically?
Because it is just your opinion, not proved by anything. My addressing would be just "ok, it is your opinion".

The NT authors were speaking from God's eternal perspective.
They were not.

How can you think that Peter was saying that the end of all things was literally at hand from the human perspective when he wrote that? Would you agree that 2 Peter 3:10-12 describes the end of all things? Do you think what he described there is already fulfilled? It absolutely is not.
He said what he said. He was either wrong or meant that in the apocalyptic language. But it was "at hand", he did not mean our future, 2,000 years after.

But, it doesn't symbolically represent nothing. It symbolically represents a large number such as when it talks about God's promises applying to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9) or that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). The thousand years, though it is symbolic, clearly has a beginning and ending because it says in Revelation 20:3 and Revelation 20:7 that Satan is loosed when the thousand years ends. So, what time period do you think the thousand years symbolically represents?
In the Peter's letter, it just represents that the first Christians should wait a little longer. That is it.

Come on. I don't know who you think I am, but I don't buy weak arguments like this. Is this all you have?
Saying it is weak is not proving it is weak. It is just.... (drums) your opinion. Again, nothing to address here.

That's weak. You don't address my arguments because you can't refute what I'm saying.

He said what he said. He was either wrong or meant that in the apocalyptic language. But it was "at hand", he did not mean our future, 2,000 years after.
Or he meant it from God's perspective like he talked about in 2 Peter 3:3-13. But, you don't even consider that because you're blinded by preterism.

A. There shall be no more death,
Because:
B. There shall be no more births.

A. Rev. 21
[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Because:
B. 2 Thes. 1
[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8] In flaming fire
taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Not just because there won't be anymore births.

Death will be no more because Rev.20 shows it will perish into the future "lake of fire", along with the abode of hell and the wicked.

Many brethren don't really understand this, because before Lucifer rebelled, there was no sin, because it is sin that causes death, and God gave the devil the power of death per Hebrews 2:14, obviously because Lucifer brought sin and death into existence when he first sinned in the beginning like Apostle John said (1 John 3:8). And it was for this purpose, to destroy death for us, that Lord Jesus came in the flesh to die on the cross for those who believe.
