Hi Frost,

Perhaps you'd like to explain this a little? All you did is list a verse that seems to contradict 1 Cor. 15:25-26,
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
*************************
Paul wrote the letters to the Corintians in 52 AD as far as I know.
In that letter Paul said Jesus had to put the enemies under HIs feet.
Sixteen years later Paul wrote to Timothy when he said:
10but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
I must assume that something happened to destroy death in that time. I assume it is the death in the spiritual realm that has been destroyed because a very good friend of mine just physically died.
I see this as the main purpose of the bible is to explain the spiritual life that is future for those who believe in Christ.
If one or the other of these verses is incorrect, we may as well throw our bible out and buy the qu'ran or something. If the verses are incorrect, Christianity is nothing , but a cruel joke.
Indeed there are times when the bible APPEARS to contradict, but ususally something comes up to explain it.( some I have taken years to figure out)
Who carried the cross, Simon or Jesus? Was it 6 days or 8 days from the statement to the transfiguration?
Did the signs of the end and the coming of the son of man occur in Jesus' generation or not? Did "ALL these things" include the destruction of the temple?
If not it is either that the main character of the christian faith is a liar or there are verses somewhere to explain away what Jesus said. In the 40 odd years I've been looking for those verses I have never found them.
Articles of the full preterists that I have read make sense biblically speaking. Patial preterists still believe in a grave emptying physical resurrection. It sells good, but none of them have ever shown me the third state of existance from scripture. You know the ...natural...the spiritual...then back to an earthly natural spritual......glorious...something....body.
