the Boxer said:
I don't care what the English translators say Sis! It is error as I have shown from the context.

First, in the second clause Christ is said to be the image of hotheos. So if hotheos in the first clause is satan, then Christ is the image of satan. This CANNOT be!

Second, Paul said that it was the veil over Moses' face that blinded the minds of unbelievers in Moses' time. He said that that "SAME veil" remained unlifted in his time. In both times it was GOD who blinded the minds of men to His glory by instrumentation of the veil. Satan had nothing to do with it.

Third, the expression "of this age" refers to unbelievers and not to satan.

Fourth, there is no biblical evidence that satan had the power to blind the minds of men. Jesus made a clear reference to satan in John 12:32. But in verses 39-40 He quoted Isaiah who said that GOD blinded the minds of the Jews.

Translation:

God (hotheos) has blinded the minds of those who of this age do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (hotheos), should shine on them.

Yes God did blind a part of Israel. But I also see Satan being allowed to deceive the synagogue of Satan Jews during the 40 year "millennium" (AD30-70) The mother of harlots.

In Rev.20, Satan gets bound so the nations could receive the gospel (AD30-70) Christ bound the strongman & taught the apostles how to do the same (whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven- Mt 16:19; Mt.18:18 )

Then we see that after the "millennium" Satan is allowed to gather Gog & Magog against the true church.

In Genesis 3:15, God said to the possessed snake that He would put enmity between his seed and her Seed.

Satan had permission by God to deceive the minds of those in that "age"
God had sent them a strong delusion that they would believe Satan's lies too.

I interpret "the god of this age" differently, Boxer, because I see in scripture where the devil was given permission by God & had a role to play in God's Plan for mankind's salvation.

Peace out :)

Uh

OK

I guess at least it's out in the open that this is a "Full Preterist" view,

so I guess it was good that New Dawn moved this thread to UT from wherever it was started, because this is the only forum on all of CF for Full Prets to wag their tails

Now - let's see...

the 12 disciples

"would sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

And I assume that this was JUST during the '40 year Millennium' ??

because some of you Prets have been saying that after 70 AD

"There were no tribes of Israel" or words to that effect - that genealogical records were destroyed in 70 AD - and a biblical entity of Israel or Judaism existed no longer

so the 12 disciples had a "short reign" from their "thrones" over the 12 tribes -- and this reign --

I guess --

was not interrupted by the actual deaths of some of the disciples

for at least James of Zebedee and Peter were put to death between the resurrection and 70 AD

so this "reigning" by the 12 disciples could be done "DEAD OR ALIVE" so to speak - is that right?

And then at 70 AD there was all of a sudden NOTHING TO RULE OVER from the 12 thrones - no more tribes meant anything --

the "millennium" is over, and we get a New heaven and a new Earth (so to speak)

all starting at 70 AD

I now feel I am GLAD this is in UT -- I mean - I wanna hear what Full Prets think - I do not consider Full Pret a "heresy" - it is simply another eschatology -- it is not exactly CREEDAL - and Nicene Creed is sort of a standard of orthodoxy on CF

but in the final analysis - Nicene Creed and Apostles Creed - as great as they are -- are just men's SUMMARIES of Scriptural Truth - not Scripture itself

So I would rather discuss eschatology HERE in UT than

in GT/Eschatology where the FULLS are forbidden --

I personally caint tell no diffurnce between a partial pret and a full anyhow

other "Partials" tear up Gary DeMar for supporting Fulls -- I cant see a dime's worth of difference, so I'm glad this thread is where it is

The reason why full Preterism is in UT is bc we don't accept what uninspired men interpreted about Jesus second coming.

In the "creeds" they keep saying century after century that Christ "will come to judge the quick & the dead."

This is an error by the church which has been perpetuated by tradition.

The Bible speaks of Christ's imminent return. Nothing delayed!

Yes, we are unorthodox & labeled heretics (who cares) bc we don't believe the uninspired men who wrote about the futuristic coming of the Lord.

They created that "orthodox" tradition.

I prefer the inspired words in the Bible to prove to me that Jesus came as promised!

By the way, did anyone read my thread on "mello?"

Here is the link: Mello

I am aware of what is said in Nicene and Apostle's Creed.

The Nicene Creed was NEITHER forced down people's throats by Constantine under threat of torture, nor did it "drop down from heaven on a Golden Cord", but was the result of (GASP!) PEOPLE's thoughts on the core elements of the faith

I remember a DONOVAN song called "Mello Yellow" but , no, have never looked at yer MELLO thread.

will go look

I have read

"your thread" as you called it

-- are you 'Donald Hochner', Coraline?

It's not really a THREAD, but rather a huge list of verses to look up in Greek and see how MELLO is used.

I can do that - I have a KJV/Textus Receptus based Interlinear as well as an NRSV Interlinear based on Nestle-Aland 27th

It will not be done "shortly" or "soon" as you Prets define things, but I think I could do it

by 2070 AD

which - since being literal is being 'carnal' - would only be "2 days" as the Lord sees things

2 days since the world ended in 70 AD

I am a bit disturbed at the last paragraph in "your thread":

-----------------------------------------

The Reformed Futurists (Amillennialism, Postmillennialism or Historic Premillennialism) cannot defend their eschatological views with dispensationalism, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Arminianism, Judaism, Liberal Theologians and the cults because they have some holes.

Once the Reformed churches come into the full Preterist view, they will be able to defend the truth against the members of these false religions, and they will be able expose them with their errors.

Reformed Preterists can make a big difference, no matter what others will think.

----------------------------------------------

"dispensationalism, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Arminianism"

are FALSE RELIGIONS?

Oh, really?

FALSE RELIGIONS - as in - are those above named groups being

called "Non-Christian"

as per CF policies?


How interesting.




Why is this PRET goulash so frequently blended in with TULIP jazz?




The paragraph is like saying

"Come on, Reformed (Calvinists) - get with this FULL PRET view and let's make a difference!"

whereas

dispensationalists, Charismatics, Pentecostals, and Arminians

are painted as FALSE RELIGIONS


perhaps I will overlook the

enormous glaring hubris

of that paragraph and look at the instances of MELLO,

but I dunno - don't get a warm fuzzy from this FULL PRET POT of insults

Yes, Anto9us, my thread wasn't called "mello" But it is in the archives here in UT : http://www.christianforums.com/t7750090/

[/FONT]

So, you deny &/or ignore that God said "soon" & "shortly" in the 1st century AD?
From : The Preterist Bible & Commentaries- Bible Prophecy Fulfilled
WHEN would this

coming (Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:3)
of
Jesus occur
? Revelation chapter one gives us the clearest of time
lines (1:1, 3, 22:10), as does Matthew 24:34. The very first verse of
the book tells us, “
to show unto His servant’s things which must
shortly
come to pass
(1:1).” S
hortly
(Greek,Tachos) is defined as,
Quickness, speed
. That’s it, no wiggle room to try to make this word
mean something more than this.
Tachos
and its variations,
Tachu,
Tachista, Tachion, Tachinos, Tachoes,
NEVER once suggests the
idea that the subject being discussed is something that will happen a
millennia or two later. The first and last chapter of Revelation has
such clear time indicators. In 1:3, and 22:10, we see the word
at
hand
(Eggus) used, “for the time is
at hand
”. This word is defined as,
near, imminent, soon to come to pass
”. Now, for “the doctrine of
imminence”, did this word (Eggus) mean the same thing in the first
century as it does in the twenty first century? Was it imminent for
them, or for us?


And these last paragraphs disturb you ? Remember the expression, "you can dish it out but cannot take it?" Does it occur to you that all "Futuristic" Eschatology insults my intelligence? When I go to church they NEVER preach about waiting for Jesus' return. They preach what is understood as Him being here in us & with us, His grace & peace & our trust in His provisions AND our obligations in the Faith.

Anything else is misplaced hope! I do not long for what I have. And Jesus does not have to do more for me beyond His grace & salvation & eternal life. Thank you Lord!

The Reformed Futurists (Amillennialism, Postmillennialism or Historic Premillennialism) cannot defend their eschatological views with dispensationalism, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Arminianism, Judaism, Liberal Theologians and the cults because they have some holes. Once the Reformed churches come into the full Preterist view, they will be able to defend the truth against the members of these false religions, and they will be able expose them with their errors. Reformed Preterists can make a big difference, no matter what others will think.
What do you think all of this so far, especially after examining the Greek word "mello"? Hopefully this will help a lot and cause you to rethink the reasons for your eschatological view.
Yes, it takes courage for eschatological futurists to be reformed.

Pride is a barrier for many set in their ways.

But Jesus said the meek would inherit the earth.

I believe those who seek the truth about "end times" will apply that meekness to opening their eyes & study the Preterist doctrine.

Most full Preterists were once Futurists.

As far as the "false religions" comment in the article, I wouldn't accuse the "Pentecostal churches" Just the hyoer -charismatic ones.:)

IMHO, To preach living for the future makes me think of receiving the Holy Spirit & salvation in vain.

I don't support such teaching !

Litlelamb - may be the poll results are no longer showing because that all

BELONGED TO A FORMER DISPENSATION which no longer applies once the THOUSAND POSTS have passed!


lol

sorry -- couldn't help it

coraline - "if in this life only we have hope in Christ - we are of all men the most to be pitied"

the Tachos stuff is pretty sticky - the mello stuff doesn't do that much for me - I have gone through most of 'em - haven't finished yet

if the meek shall inherit the earth - find me SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

I never saw your post about the wailing wall. This is easy to answer. The foundational stones were NOT the subject of the prophecy. It was the "beautiful" stones that "adorned" the temple that were to be thrown down, every last one.

5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.” Luke 21:5

The stones that adorned the temple were gold embedded. The Romans left not one stone standing. They plundered ALL the gold.

You still have not dealt with the veil Cora. Paul said that it was the VEIL that blinded the minds of men in Moses' time, and that the "SAME VEIL" remains unlifted to this day (Paul's day, not our day).

Satan had NOTHING to do with it. My translation remains unrefuted. Check out the church fathers. Several of them denied that Paul was saying that satan is a God. They said that it is God who blinded the minds of men and that the expression "of this age" refers to unbelievers.

Translation:

God (hotheos) has blinded the minds of those who of this age do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (hotheos), should shine on them.

This is my LAST post on the subject as it is off topic.

2 The Boxer,

It is always worthy in checking the scripture to see who's correct. Isaiah 29:9 "Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. (your eyes is the key term). 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed. 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned".

Romans 11:7 "What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? ".


the whole chapter is worth re-reading.


be, blessed.

Also the western wall was part of the temple grounds but it was not part of the temple proper. The Temple faced east so the Wailing/Western wall is the second wall behind the temple in this picture. Beyond which you can see the hills.
