    a preterist question

    Lostthenfound,   Paul's words were meant to comfort a suffering church. It would be a cruel thing for God to say He was going to do something for these people soon and then wait thousands of years to fulfill His promise. If the Lord told you that He was going to do something for you...

    a preterist question

    Lostthenfound, What do you think Paul was talking about when he told the church at Rome: "And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet (Romans 16:20)." Could it be that something was about to happen concerning Satan?   Ozark

    is this a contridiction?

    is this a contridiction?

    Smaller, Sometimes taking scripture out of context is a harmless thing. However, there are times when taking a verse or two out of the context of the particular chapter or book can do harm to its meaning. Some passages must even be taken in the context of the whole Bible both old and new...

    is this a contridiction?

    Stormy, No offense, but that is not what I asked. My question was what does God see when HE looks at you. Does He define you or set your identity as sinner or saint? Moreover, I am sure you will agree that you are no longer alone. You are wonderfully joined with Christ. He is in you and...

    is this a contridiction?

    Ashley, I have a question for you-- actually two. When God looks at you, does He see a sinner or a saint? Second, If we are in Christ, are we still in a position of being "short of God's glory?" Ozark

    is this a contridiction?

    Well said Didaskomenos. If we study the scriptures we will see that God not only holds us responsible for what we do, but also for what we are. Sin is not just an individual act but it is also the human condition apart from Christ. The bible makes some very powerful statements...

    Hebrews and the preterist view

    Brian45 I will have to agree with manifestation. World without end is not a major premise of Preterism, and moreover Preterism is not dependent upon this idea. You are definitely straining out a nat a swallowing a camel. What you have here is a case of science verses the Bible on this...

    Hebrews and the preterist view

      Hi Mike, That is what I did too. I studied them all. That is why I am a preterist. I know what you mean. I never thought I would be one in a million years either. Ozark

    Hebrews and the preterist view

      Brian45, I was not speaking to you personally in my post. I was speaking generally. Truth must be sought like fine gold, and we will ultimately find that it is a Person-- the Person of Jesus Christ. I did not mean to imply that I know all there is to know about Him. I am sorry you...

    Hebrews and the preterist view

    Brian45, If we look hard enough we can find people and statistics to back up just about any position on any issue. This is how most people approach the quest for truth. I am a political conservative. So, what did I do on the issue of global warming? I went out and found statistics and expert...

    Hebrews and the preterist view

      Brian45, Most of the stuff at this link is very controversial. For example, on the global warming issue, they have 1500 signatures from scientists that say global warming is a problem. Try the link below. It has 19,200 signatures from scientists who say global warming is not a...

    Inconsistencies in the preterist view?

    These folks have a tendency to REWRITE scripture not just use it to prove their beliefs. Have you ever read the Jehovah's Witnesses bible? It is decidedly different than ours. Furthermore, these cults deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If anything, preterists magnify the present Lordship of...

    How Preterism Changes our Mindset

    I have one last way that Preterism changes our mindset that I would like to present. First, I want to thank Parousia70, Davo, Acts 6:5, Manifestation, and Back to the future for sharing not only your scriptural knowledge on this matter but also your hearts. This thread has been a very joyous...

    A Challenge to Futurists

    It is a dangerous thing to take one scripture and build a whole method of interpretation around it. futurists commonly use this passage to say that the time statements of the Jesus and the apostles cannot be taken at face value. A thousand years is as a day and a day as a thousand years to God...

    A Challenge to Futurists

    Preterism is confusing? 29“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and...

    A Challenge to Futurists

    Post made by Verizon1: Allah is the name of the Muslim god and according to Islam, the same god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and he cannot lie. According to Islam, Jesus was once one of the greatest prophets of God (however we do not hold that view any more). There have been many false...

    A Challenge to Futurists

    In the past 50 years or more there has been a “battle for the Bible” going on in academic circles. It may surprise us what liberals and skeptics use most to attack the authority of the Scriptures. It is without a doubt non-fulfillment of Biblical prophesy. For example, Bertrand Russell in his...
