That's an interesting take on it. Although It seems it's been a lot longer process than just Covid. The age of the home computer and the Internet seems to me to play a big role in this. The definition of what used to be "community" has changed. Which has come to impact every generation at this...

Though I think it's true that lots of people had varying interpretations on what the pandemic did to societies. I think you have a valid point. It did change things; and likely in ways we still don't understand! It definitely impacted my son. Four years later and he still hardly ever leaves the...

Well in this sense, I think you don't have to worry about it because we'll never have a theonomy. Of course this doesn't eliminate the possibility of having to live under some sort of totalitarian rule at some point in the future. But that's a different issue altogether. The practical question...

Not sure you are actually reading what I'm writing; as I'm not assuming "lawless one" can not have some form of future application. What I'm saying and what you seem to think I'm saying are two different things. So.... How does John 17:12 fit in than? That verse clearly calls Judas the "son of...

If the "lawless one" and "son of perdition" are the same person; Then yes, John 17:12 states Judas is the "son of perdition". Now is "the lawless one" and the "son of perdition" really the same person? King James translates "lawless one" as "Wicked"; omitting "one". In other translations "one"...

I understand what you are saying; and am I accurate or not? We also have Revelation 13:8 - Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Which was still accurate despite the atonement had a specific place in linear time. Which raises the question of whether or not the “day of the...

Yes, I've watched several videos on that channel now. They do have some good ones!

I’ll check it out.

Sounds intriguing. I'll have to watch it.

As far as your statement about "the lawless one", (the son of perdition) and Preterism. John 17:12 states that Judas was the "son of perdition". Thus I'd interpret that the tearing down of the OT system; very much was "the beginning of the end" (end days that is). Which in the context of that...

I think I may have just found the answer to this question: I just looked up 2 Thessalonians 2:2 in the Greek and the King James translation says: “….. day of the Lord is at hand” The verb tense is “perfect tense”. It doesn’t specifically say “future tense”. “Perfect” and “future” are two...

Well, I'm sure in the immediate aftermath of everything that had happened; they spent some time trying to "get their bearings" so to speak. When you look at everything that happened. From John's first appearing in the wilderness to the ascension; it was probably like living in an alternate...

I know we often feel like these kinds of things are our fault; but it's not. And it's going to take you some time to get through this and realize you didn't do anything nefarious. Nothing was intentionally neglectful. And your mom did not want to go to the hospital. Also, you weren't expecting...

Well, you were born and you are here. You can't go back and undo that. I've been suicidal. Recovering from that is no cake walk either! One thing I realized years ago; was that it did me no good to be angry at God because I knew He was the only one who could help me. But since you said you...

I think the person who's son you are referring to is me. Yes, though my son's developmental issue is because of epilepsy; the seizures have left him with autistic like communication challenges. Yeah, and in some ways, I'm sure my son does feel like he was "born in the wrong universe" too. You...

Hey, I just found this thread! ^_^ You brought up this idea recently on a different thread; and yes, I agree; "the Day of the Lord" is an interesting conceptualization as we look at how 2000 years of history has passed since the resurrection. There are a lot of passages in the OT about "the...

On this thread, no; but if I go start another thread on the atonement; are you going to answer? Ya know, the only thing I ever really wanted from God; was that Jesus pay for my sin; and pay for the sin of my son. Anything else God would or could give to me; I was willing to do without (still...

Really? Gee, I thought the atonement was the central reason of why Christ came to earth in the first place.

I don't know. But could you explain to me what it's like to be released from the wrath of God? See I have a hard time wrapping my head around that one. God leaving His eternal glory to pay the penalty of eternal wrath for sinners that hate Him. What do you suppose it was like for Christ to...

Ok, then I guess it's me then isn't it?
