Hi Dave,
My objective isnt to get Preterists to convince me but rather help me understand why they believe Jesus has returned. Allot of what Preterists have said on the forum has made total scense to me and so I am interested to see how they see Jesus has already returned.
That is so I understand them not so I can be convinced dave.
I`m the convincer not the convincee
look at my questions and see dave who the convincer or the convincee is.
j/k
So, Dave, I do have a million questions that only a preterist could possibly answer because it is according to their doctrinal beliefs isnt it. Shorly you arent going to tell me that I just need to read the bible to find preterist doctrine because that is like telling me all I need to do is read the bible and then I will see where Hal Lindsey was coming from.
Im Just looking for a preterist with the time and desire to show me the preterist doctrines so I can judge from the bible for my self, what it is that they believe and what they use to believe it , just like every other opposing doctrine from different denominations in the churchs.
Is there a preterist willing to answer my questions in my last post with accuracy in detail because there is just no way I can just read the bible and see preterist doctrine on jesus returning
. It has to be taught to you doesnt it?
It isnt an obvious truth from scripture at all is it?
Or people would have believed this in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th century as well???
Another question???
How come the likes of timothy and clement didn`t testify of Jesus return or them being with him, were he is???
Jesus said," I shall return and were I am you shall be also".
How come all the saints didn`t go with Jesus or even preach that he had returned?? How come Tim and clement didn`t preach that Jesus had returned???
Were they apostate???
Lots of questions, millions of questions.
So if I read the scriptures every single day for 12 years and sometimes for hours and hours a day (as I have done), how come I have never ever even seen a wink of anything like this.(the same as I can`t see Hal Lindseys Garbage)
You can tell me there is no antichrist in Daniel 9 and I will believe it.
Or Hal Lindsey was deluded and I will believe that.
Or all the trib. Rapture ideas are garb. I will believe that.
Or even a future anti Christ that will rule the world for 7 yrs. I will crack up laughing at that ignorant madness.
But I can also not see were Jesus returned at the destruction of Jerusalem.
I don`t believe it is even remotely there , even if you use all the symbolisim for the sun and moon not giving there light , it still doesn`t make scense to me.
Even simply on the grounds that timothy and clement did not teach these things at all.
On that alone I have a huge case against this Idea. Not to mention the other questions I asked in my last post and the hundreds of other questions swimming around in my head at the simple suggestion of the doctrine that jesus returned in 70 ad.
Very curious
