Please don't hold yer breath waiting. You might become quite cyanotic !I am hoping that one of the "full preterists" will explain how everyone has already received their resurrection bodies, since they believe that all prophecy has been fulfilled.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Of course I agree with the verses, and not just those verses, but the whole bible. But I still don't know if I agree with you on their interpretation.Here is your original response:
Ed Parenteau said: ↑
I politely asked you for "your" view of the resurrection body, and instead you chose to insult me. Why?
This was my response to that:
"OK, let's unpack this. First this is what I said:
" Read 1 Cor 15, all of it. v.52 is interesting.
Then, read 1 Thess 4, all of it.
Then get back to me."
You asked my view and I gave it to you. In the form of what the Bible says, which is my view. That's not an insult.
Then I asked you to get back to me. I think most people would understand that as simply agreeing with me or if not, explaining WHY not?
So, do you agree with the verses or disagree with them?
Simple question. No insults."
The verse you quoted wasn't even in the discussion.
I can't say one way or the other for sure, but it seems unlikely we'll be in our old bodies, as many such bodies have been reduced to part of the atmosphere & scattered to the 4 winds, & BECOME PART OF OTHER PEOPLES' BODIES. But, again, I can't say for sure, as GOD CAN DO ANYTHING. What I AM sure of is that He will do as He said.Of course I agree with the verses, and not just those verses, but the whole bible. But I still don't know if I agree with you on their interpretation.
And how is verse 15:35 not part of " Read 1 Cor 15, all of it."?
Besides you didn't even ask a question? You said v.52 is interesting--OK, I agree it's interesting
Here's a perfectly fine answer by Robocop3 to my question. "We will be resurrected into new bodies. I don't know what their appearance & nature will be, but they'll be a lot better than our present ones."
So, am I to assume that's what you believe also?
What I don't believe is that the physical body we're in will be resurrected.
I am hoping that one of the "full preterists" will explain how everyone has already received their resurrection bodies, since they believe that all prophecy has been fulfilled.
Resurrection of the dead is a very sensible, scriptural doctrine from the preterist view.Ah, there's the rub. There isn't a sensible answer.

Preterists maintain that 1 Cor 15:55-56 clearly lists that Hades/Sheol was destoyed when the Age of the Law of Moses came to its end:
1 Corinthians 15:54-56
then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up in victory where, O Death, is thy sting? Where, O HADES is thy victory?' And the sting of the death is sin, AND THE POWER OF SIN IS THE LAW
We are not still waiting for the dead to be raised out of Hades and taken into their eternal inheritance in Heaven or eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire ("hell" in common parlance). All the dead are now either in Heaven's eternal bliss or in hell. There is no Hadean realm anymore. Hades was destroyed when the dead were raised out of it (1 Cor 15:55-56; Rev 20:12-15).
God will have the bodies of those who died be resurrected, they would be restored. For believers, who are in Christ, their bodies are restored to what they should have been in God's perfect will, just as those believers who have not died would be changed in an instant, having on incorruptibility, being then as they were to be in God's perfect will. It will be in the time of the earlier resurrection. Those who died were generally buried, as a sign of the hope of their bodily resurrection. It does not matter for that what actually happens to the dead bodies, God will still bring back the restoration of the bodies. Those unrepentant and consequently not with the faith and being in Christ, will have their bodies restored in the final resurrection, those will be like they were when they were going to die. But the only death they will still have is going to the eternal judgment for them, referred to as the second death. They will be miserable forever after that, having rejected God's way and not repenting and coming to Christ, being left with their sins, which God needed to stop. The death, called still their destruction, is not annihilation, from what the Bible is showing.
That was addressed for believers, for whom death lost its sting, because believers can have the certain hope, with Jesus, for the resurrection, being restored to come to God, in God's perfect will, for their happiness where God will have them forever. No unbelievers have anything lost of the sting of death, generally not having that hope, unless they are deceived with what they believe, without the repentance with coming to Christ.
Hades is depicted as being thrown into the lake of fire at the time of the final judgment before the throne of God, at which those judged will go to their lasting misery that is the appropriate consequence of what things they did of their will in their lives, from then on. Those things of that time have not occurred yet, but still will.

safe houses are not debate threads nor are they places for people with differing views to espouse their own beliefs.
I don't have what many others call an orthodox view of what is coming, anyway. We are not far from the fall of civilization, that God would not stop.
parousia70 said:When you say “we are not far”, do you mean the same thing the apostles meant 2000 years ago when they said “we are not far” Or do you mean something different?
Nations rise and fall. There’s nothing new about that. Should the United States, or even western civilization, fall, It would have no more to do with Bible eschatology than the fall of the Mayans or the Aztecs, or the Hopi, or the French Revolution or that the fall of the Global British empire had...
For certain, Scripture teaches that the earth and material cosmos will exist forever (Ecc 1:4; Ps 78:69; 89:36-37; 104:5; 148:4-6; Eph 3:21) and that human generations are unending and perpetual (Ps 145:13; Dan 4:3,34; Dan 7:14,18,27; Lk 1:33) and through it all, the Church will never fall (Matt 16:28) and indeed continues through all ages, world without end, amen (Eph 3:21)
I mean believers, which is all I mean by "the church", will be here, until they are caught up to be with God with Christ, being removed from those of the world yet unrepentant with their wickedness and destructiveness on whom God's judgment is coming, which Christ bore for those in him. But before all that believers should not remain in Mystery Babylon, where they are not really meant to be, but should get out, as they will be urgently called to do at the end, as it will fall. Going to another country will not be enough to get out. Getting out from cities is the only way to get out.
I hear believers say we can read news and see things coming to fulfillment from that. Maybe many of them do not see the news, except maybe for news of one source and limit any further news. But I see the issues of the world, and know of the destructiveness, that there is warning about from the Bible (Revelation 11:18). And I see that there is the destructiveness from all cities of civilization. There will be a last attempt at recovered civilization, but it will be godless, and treacherous. Not even the state of Israel is safe to flee to, many still will die there, as many will die as Mystery Babylon will fall.

parousia70 said:I find scripture is the best interpreter of scripture. Newspapers do a terrible job at it.
In fact, to date, everyone has used the news to interpret Bible eschatology has been 100% wrong in their predictions.
Not the track record I’d feel comfortable hanging my hat on.
I am hoping that one of the "full preterists" will explain how everyone has already received their resurrection bodies, since they believe that all prophecy has been fulfilled.
Ah, there's the rub. There isn't a sensible answer.
Actually, from every evangelical Christian's view.Resurrection of the dead is a very sensible, scriptural doctrine from the preterist view.
Again, complete agreement.#1) The dead are all those who finished their lives on planet earth. They are a category of people -- the dead.
Agreed.#2) In Paul's time, and going all the way back to Adam, the dead went to Hades/Sheol at their physical deaths. This place was NOT Heaven and it was NOT the lake of fire (commonly known as "hell" in today's parlance). Those places weren't prepared yet.
Right.#3) The bible then teaches WHEN Hades/Sheol was to be destroyed (Rev 20:12-15; 1 Cor 15:55-55), giving up the dead.
What preterists seem to miss is that the Bible describes TWO resurrections, one for the saved and one for the unsaved.Preterists maintain that 1 Cor 15:55-56 clearly lists that Hades/Sheol was destoyed when the Age of the Law of Moses came to its end:
1 Corinthians 15:54-56
then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, 'The Death was swallowed up in victory where, O Death, is thy sting? Where, O HADES is thy victory?' And the sting of the death is sin, AND THE POWER OF SIN IS THE LAW
That is the victory slogan when the resurrection of the dead happens. All agree on that.
So then, preterists deny the literalness of Rev 20. Sad.We are not still waiting for Hades to be destroyed. We are not still waiting for the Law of Moses to reach its end. We are not still waiting for the dead to be raised out of Hades and taken into their eternal inheritance in Heaven or eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire ("hell" in common parlance). All the dead are now either in Heaven's eternal bliss or in hell. There is no Hadean realm anymore. Hades was destroyed when the dead were raised out of it (1 Cor 15:55-56; Rev 20:12-15).
Which temple are you referring to?The Law Age was forever ended at the destruction of the Temple.
Paul's point is that Christ's death and resurrection from the dead is the VICTORY over death. And believers will never die spiritually But all unbelievers will experience the SECOND death.Look very closely at the saying that "death is swallowed up in victory." Look how Paul ties it to the end of the Age of the Mosaic Law and NOT the end of the New Covenant Age (which had barely even begun yet). Paul writes:
'The Death was swallowed up in victory where, O Death, is thy sting? Where, O Hades is thy victory?' And the sting of the death is sin, AND THE POWER OF SIN IS THE LAW -- 1 Cor 15:55-56
This verse says the same thing as John 5:29, quoted above.Acts 24:15
having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, that THERE IS ABOUT TO BE a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous (Young's LITERAL translation)
Project much Roby?... I just had to hold my breath for 6 months...Please don't hold yer breath waiting. You might become quite cyanotic !
Anyone who has a doctrine they can ACTUALLY DEFEND, JUSTIFY, & PROVE TRUE doesn't need a "safe house".I think maybe you don’t understand what safe houses are on Christian forms. This particular safe house is for full preterists to share their beliefs and for non full preterists to ask full preterists what they believe.
safe houses are not debate threads nor are they places for people with differing views to espouse their own beliefs.
Correct.Jesus was resurrected from the paradise area of hades, but no one else was.
Incorrect. Jesus "brings with Him" all the saints from heaven (already died) and gather up the living saints.When the rapture occurs, Jesus will first call the saints from paradise to join Him in the air, then, call up all saints then alive.
No, the Second Advent of Christ will occur at the end of the Trib, when He Himself ends it at the battle of Armageddon. Rev 20 speaks of the FIRST resurrection in v.5.This event will occur shortly before the antichrist enters the coming new temple & commits the "abomination of desolation" by setting up a statue of himself in it & declaring himself God. These, of course, are all future events. death & hades won't be cast into hell til AFTER Jesus returns.
