Without goading, it's now 2022. What timetables proved incorrect?

[trophy33]

When it comes to details - certainly.

Yes, the "details". Without the "details" the whole futurism is just two or three short sentences like in the Nicean Creed.

 

[Douggg]

So your answer to the OP's question on how do people deal with failed date setting is to move the date to another future time, endlessly?

No, that was not in my post. I gave the correct time table.

 

[Douggg]

Yes, the "details". Without the "details" the whole futurism is just two or three short sentences like in the Nicean Creed.

In general terms, I gave the futurist view in it's broadest terms - in one sentence.

"Generally speaking though - in its broadest terms, futurism believes that there is coming a world dictator, during whose time will be the great tribulation, to be ended with Jesus's return."

Do you disagree with futurism in its broadest terms?

I do, but my personal beliefs are not the point of this thread.

Also, what you presented, is not futurism in its basics. The correct representation would be:

"he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end...and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen."
Nicene Creed - Wikipedia

Then why don't you make a contribution and point out some of the failed time table prophecies of the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Seventh Day Adventists ?

Why such weirdly specific request?

Go to the forum statement of purpose, in which states what futurism is...

Statement of Purpose - Eschatology Forum Statement of Purpose

"Futurism: Futurism is the eschatological viewpoint that interprets portions of the Book of Revelation, the Book of Daniel, and other prophecies, as future events in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context."

The basic definition of futurism is presented in the Nicean Creed.

The rest are more or less common futurism variations.

 

[Douggg]

Why such weirdly specific request?

Because so far, you have not given any time table failure, as requested in the thread opening post and title.

But why JW or SDA?

No it is not. And this is not the Nicean Creed forum. It is the eschatology forum. And the definition in the statement of purpose for the forum regarding futurism is spot on.

So?

 

[Douggg]

But why JW or SDA?

Because those have some of the more noted time table failures. Why don't you look up the great disappointment of 1844, Ellen G. White.

 

[Douggg]

So?

You are trying to redefine futurism, by excluding the world dictator, and the great tribulation, from the fundamental premise of futurism.

 

[trophy33]

Why should I look it up? I know what it is.

 

[trophy33]

Nope. I am not redefining futurism, I am saying that basic futurism can be said in two or three sentences and the rest are the "details" you are talking about in almost all your posts.

 

[Douggg]

Why should I look up it? I know what it is.

Then make a contribution to the subject of the thread - by posting what it was about and why it was a failed time table.

And the Jehovah Witnesses - do some research on when they thought Armageddon would take place.

I did a contribution, you did not. Edit: you did, too.

Why should I do research about what JW thought? You are not making any sense.

Just go by what is in the statement of purpose thread on what futurism is... for discussions in this forum.

You stopped making sense, sorry. Your requirements are strange and do not fit into our conversation.
