You know though, sometimes the best of parents just have bad kids, and it sounds like she was a good one.

Nice try but the police officer was Hispanic. Furthermore, had the victim complied with simple police commands (in this case, stop reaching and put hands up) he would still be alive. It might have helped had he not been smoking weed at the time also.

So let me get this straight, you think American cops go around "just" shooting people for trivial reasons? Hey bud, your tailgate's out. Bang. Is that what you think?

The Akron police shooting renews questions about officer training

So let me get this straight. You think a bunch of police literally shot someone just for a minor driving offense? Are you deliberately omitting it or are you ignorant of the fact he shot at them first?

Get a grip! I softened it, and I finished my edits before you posted your response. How was I supposed to know you were already responding? Are we never supposed to edit our comments if we think our answers were a bit too harsh? How about you actually offer something substantive and relevant and...

The exact point I was making in the post you took issue with. Perhaps you should read more carefully before posting.

So you have just made the same point I was making.

I guess I should have been clearer, as I had wrongly assumed people knew how to count. Preterists place the beginning of the persecution exactly 42 months before Nero's death. That is, they count back from June 67 and come up with November 64. There is no evidence it started in November. The...

The Officer Tatum

No one knows when it started. Preterists have it begin 42 months before his death to make it fit, but there's no verifiable evidence it began then.

I hope not. But an early dating of Revelation doesn't make preterism correct. Facts are still facts, and Tertullian and others placed Revelation in Nero's reign (but they didn't identify Nero with the beast). Historically, the early date is the best, but we shouldn't be basing eschatology on that.

You mean by one ambiguous statement of Irenaeus. There are reasons many scholars date it to the 60s.

Not according to Tertullian.

The definition found in liberal scholarship works if Daniel wasn't written in Babylon but in the second century BC., since they don't believe in genuine prophecy.

Except: it's not true.

The reasoning of your post is so completely illogical and fallacious that I doubt it would be worth attempting to reason with you.

Hypothetically, say that in twenty years time the numbers reverse and the majority accept an early date. Are you going to change your view?

If you don't know how to look up a quote in the Muratorian Canon, I would question whether you should be drawing dogmatic conclusions concerning the date of Revelation.
