But that is not rightly dividing it . Rightly dividing would never contradict Parts of the TRUTH .
Sure it is. Looking at Old Testament scripture and comparing it to the new and considering what all has been written is important to rightly dividing the word of truth, asking God to help you by the spirit. If you suggest otherwise one may not really be considering the Bible as a whole.
You probably believe in what is called preterism or partial preterism .
I do not know everything they believe; but members on the board do not like the idea or notion of preterism because it qualifies that Jesus did return as promise, though there is no written proof, but people will take what a person says on a pulpit and never go read and discover what the Bible actually would suggest is a reality, with shadows and types of the coming messiah promised to come from the nation of Israel. Overall I do believe all of revelation 1-20 has been completed and 21-22 are pictures and types of the afterlife.
JESUS never warned of TWO COMING mathew . ONE for the jews and then years later one for the later generation .
John the Baptist warned the people who came and saw him saying “who told you to flee the wrath to come”? Malachi I believe writes about the great and dreadful day of the Lord that would come, and Jesus warned the Pharisees of their own destruction, just take a look at the parable of the evil vineyard workers who killed the prophets and the Son who was sent by the landowner.
You won’t be able to tell me that is not true because all of that is in the scripture. Jesus also warned of his second coming even to the prime at the council while he was question stating “you will see the son of man coming in the clouds, sitting at the right hand of God”, so there are biblical indications of historical significance that would suggest that this promise to come back had to be with in a generation of people.
I never said anything about two comings.
IT was always ONE COMING . and the early church taught that . GO read their writings .
YES JERUSALEM GOT sacked and YES that was foretold to come to pass .
Okay.
But that dont mean Mathew twenty four or etc aint talking about THE COMING DAY OF CHRIST .
But that would be in their day and age. But futurist people make it out for today, and some people can get high off the thought of the experience if the world came to and end and people just started killing Christian’s now today and have a one worldview and if you don’t submit you don’t get any food.
All those things happened in real life to those people in that day in age, and Jerusalem was eventually laid desolated.
Which as i said , A ONE TIME EVENT .
LEst ye think at that time some of the church was called up in the clouds to meet him .
Yeah the audience suggest that the people who are written to are found around the first chapter in the first 5 verses. The Thessalian people were watching and waiting. They were watching and in faith hoping to be taken away from the desolation that had befell the people and those who were of faith were taken out of those tribulations.
THE COMING OF JESUS will entail , that on HIS DAY , for those of us who are STILL alive
we gonna get INSTANTLY CHANGED and BE WITH HIM . THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED AS OF YET .
Yes it does happen. When you die. I believe that by faith anyway:
Men taught preterism . And just like anything else , there are always bits of truth blended in to help make it seem RIGHT .
That is just your opinion, of what you suggest may not fit in what you theological believe about God or your view of end times.
