An orthodox preterist is the same thing as a partial preterist. I believe in a coming of Christ at 70 A.D.... but I don't believe that the final judgment or general resurrection have passed.
Wgat is thena full preterist?
But regardless ... you believe that the 2nd coming of Christ actually happened?
Can you prove that?

Or do you believe that we will see another coming of Christ after the 70 a.d.?

Ummm... no, I don't. Like I said, I'm an orthodox preterist. The "coming" at 70 A.D. was not the Second Coming. It wasn't even a literal "coming" of Christ, the "coming" refers to one judgment. See this page.

It says this ...
The core proof point for us is that we take Jesus' warning of things taking place in "this generation" to clearly mean that they must take place within the next 40 years. Such time texts are a cornerstone for the preterist case.

But the word generation has 2 usages in Greek.
One is 30-40 (?) years and the other one of a "type, or a kind" of people.
It is quite straightforward.

I'm aware of this, but the argument for partial preterism isn't that simple. On that page there is a counterpoint to the objection you've just raised. The wording that Jesus uses is time-oriented and would be anachronistic if applied today (much like the horsemen in Revelation).

Well since I need to run now and I would not have time to go into the Dictionary.com for "anachronistic" ... see you tomorrow.

Thanks,

The coming of Christ is the manifestation or rather the Revelation of His Divinity, which took place for the chief Apostles on mount Tabor (cf. Transfiguration), for many Saints over the centuries and will eventually happen for all humanity at some point in the future... some are already experiencing it, for them the book of revelation has mystically been fulfilled.

Man is the Eschatological index not History.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not... "Chrono" is from the Greek for "time" and the prefix "ana" means "not". When something is anachronistic, it doesn't fit the timeperiod. It would be anachronistic for Christians today to flee the Tribulation from their flat roofs, or to pray that the Tribulation would not occur during the winter when the transportation revolution has eliminated travel difficulties during winter months.

Do you like to type in big letters so people can see what you're reading?

Jesus told us to adopt the pagan Calendar and ignore God's calendar?
We have been through this before, Tishri. It would not have made sense for certain aspects of Judaism to be a standard throughout Europe (and beyond) because much of it was limited to the Promised Land, and the rest was fulfilled in Christ.

I don't think so...I'm not talking about the Jews accepting Gentiles...
I brought that up to show that the Apostles did not think the Jewish calendar, Sabbath, circumcision, dietary laws, etc. as binding upon Christians. Unless they too were antisemitic, which is preposterous considering that many of them were Jews.

I'm talking about the Gentiles rejecting Jews here check this out:
And this has nothing to do with the four aspects of Judaism that I listed above.

Tishri1,

Yes,.....it's as well to all who are God's True Israel.

God has to show things in the Natural to see it how it's done in the Eternal. God has already shown this picture through The Church--made up of some Gentiles (has become Israel for believing) and Jew's (believing Israel).

The Church is not the body of only Gentile believers.

What will happen to the believing Israel, in time, will be what we As the Bride already have Experienced God in our Midst as King and Lord of our lives.

This isn't a only isolated event for the the "future believing Israel".
Both you and I can say this has happened to us,.....but yes it will happen to the Natural Tree as well if they don't remain in unbelief. And I have all mercy for them,...and my prayer is for Israel that they will be saved. God has reserved 7000 men who has not bowed the knee to Baal. PRAISE GOD. The Witness even in Prophecy, mainly has got to be TO WITNESS ABOUT CHRIST IN OUR LIVES. This will draw jealousy to Israel, if we will speak in purity as God is more so cleaning our hearts. The Church as a whole is still very much in an Apostate manner. Because we strive over things even for a some how defense of Israel. Even for myself, I've striven way too much here. My mercy for them and for all is to be my Banner, not my defense---for this mostly turns into strife and contention. I at least am admitting my own lack of understanding.

Something like that,.....

We must hear Isaiah,.....In our Spirit-man who is In Christ right now. Or we will stay in strife.

Bless you.
And Have a good night.
My husbands home.
In His Love,
Connie

George W. Bush and the confusions of Evangelical Zionism
'Born again' president seems to think support for Israel is god's will


Misinterpretation of biblical concepts has dangerous consequences, makes it tougher for Palestinians to reclaim their rights
By Adib F. Farha
Special to The Daily Star
Tuesday, July 20, 2004
Analysis
The rapid rise of Evangelical Zionism has become more alarming since the ascent to power of US President George W. Bush, who appears to firmly believe that his blind support of Israel is a fulfillment of God's will, and with the numerical growth of "Christians for Israel"-type organizations. Bush's support emanates both from a religious foundation as well as from electoral politics. Evangelical Zionists, who fall under several denominations, are estimated to count as many as 40 million Americans. This formidable bloc of voters represents a significant additional incentive to the "born again" president to adopt extreme pro-Israeli positions even when they are contrary to America's national interests.
On the surface, well-meaning, God-fearing Christians, who might not be sufficiently well-versed in the Bible and who might take certain selectively retrieved verses at face value, would be tempted to go along with America's blind support of Israel. Taking the literal interpretation at face value, they believe Israel has a "manifest destiny" to possess Palestine.
