This claim has been made..

I made an observance..


an unsupportable observance... otherwise known as a straw man.

NO preterist claims NERO was the man of sin as you CLAIM they do. Not even one.

Plus you claimed you only ask questions? not make observances...
Liar.

retract your statement. Own up to your error.

And you rely on non biblical modern day news reports.


So?

Obviously..

Jesus told us to watch for signs.

Im watching things unfolding in my reality.

Read my signature..


Preterists rely on world history to subjectively assign a false prophetic paradigm that has implications if they are wrong.

Prophecy is given by Prophets for the future.

If we need to see a confirmed prophecy unfolding in our reality, we need to look to the prophecy that hasnt been fulfilled.

The greatest promise we know is coming is in fact the end of the world, a future event, unless I missed the end of the world somehow..

Every Christian is promised tribulation and persecution by Christ, this is our promise, and if we are lucky, we get to die for our faith that all may witness the power of our faith openly..

Im not the Pope, I dont put my faith in bulletproof glass or false doctrines.

Todays news reports are tomorrows world history.

You reliance on newspapers is no different that someone elses reliance on Historical record.

Both are EXTRA Biblical.

Prophecy is given by Prophets for the future.

really, so you are looking for another Virgin Birth? Another Crusifixion?

Both events were prophesied by prophets, but according to you, can not have happened in the past, they MUST be future to us events...

That is some REALLY whacked out stuff!

Yes, my reality is what Christ told me to use.

If you cant reconcile that, Im sorry.


The Birth of Christ of a Virgin was given in the old testament, and confirmed as fulfilled in the New testament.

Nice try..

I am working with prophecy that is unfilled..

The stuff that Christians are supposed to be watching for..

Pay attention to Jesus Christ..

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

It's like If you and I were taking a road trip across the country together (sounds fun huh? lol) and I told you that the distance from Seattle to New York City was 70 miles, and I told you to stay awake and watch for the New York City Exit Sign.... 70 miles goes by and no sign... 200 miles goes by and still no sign... 1500 miles goes by and STILL no NYC exit sign...after 2500 miles goes by you finally ask me "hey, you said it was 70 miles away, it's been 2500 miles and still no exit sign. what gives"... i then reply, well, yes it is only 70 miles away, but there is a 2930 mile Gap between the 69th and 70th mile!

Futurism. It's Fun for everyone.

So, Why do you suppose Christ command 2000 years of Christians before us to watch for signs He knew they would never see?

You have to use a little prophetic common sense.. What did Christ say?

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:

Ok, so lets investigate what Daniel the prophet says..

Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(Who is this man) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation(Rapture, consummation of Christ and his Bride), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

"That determined" is the "Wrath of God"..


What you are seeing in the world today is the formation of a world government, a one world religion, and a total enslavement of mankind.

All done with a hostile takeover, not by force, but by money..


We are slaves, who think they are free, but operate within an antichrist system in which everything we own is sold to us.

Our movies, discussions, clothes, education, all sold to us on a store shelf, to give the appearance of freedom when in actuality, we are slaves and dont even realize it.

So be it, better to be a poor man or a slave than someone who is condemned to hell..

Christ warned us..

Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

I know right, thats what I am trying to tell the preterists..

If you are preterist, you are quick to point that there is no direct coorelation in the verses concerning the Beast, and the man of sin.

But you offer no explanation to the contrary.

If they are different, show me.

If Nero was either one, use the objective evidence God gave you to prove it to me..

I can prove that the Jews returned in 1948, you cant prove Nero was either the man of sin, or the beast of revelation..


The Burden of proof is not on me, If the prophecy is actually a past event, I win either way..

Unlike many Christians, I look forward to Christs promise of suffering and persecution...

Persecution is proof I am doing the right job..

Preterists rely on Roman Historical records.

70ad is no where in the Bible, nor is 70ad calculable unless the preterist puts the bible down and searches secular sources for world history.

Prove me wrong..

Most Christians in this world believe the prophecies were given by prophets for the future.

We await the coming of our Lord, and the signs he gave us, which are in fact happening around the world, but those who are blind are not seeing it..
You're a fraud. I provided the verse two posts ago.

You're definately not interested in the truth. Action speaks louder than words. :priest:

I don't have to prove a negative, but YOU have yet to support your claim that ANY preterist cites NERO as the Man of Sin.

You have failed to show us even ONE who does, in spite of your claim that we all do.

Nor have you retracted your claim when called to account for it. You just move the goalposts and try to wiggle your way out of accountability to your statements.

You are a fraud

Listen, you are upset because I caught you contradicting yourself.

Now you are simply looking for anything you can find to make me appear the same way, however, I addressed your post, and showed you exactly what I said.

You can keep trying to prove a point, but you really need proof that I said it for that to work.

Now, I asked you a question, I never said you said that. Proof is dependent on you, get to work..

God bless

I pity the fool who says that they can show me 70ad in the Bible yet refuses to show me.


What gives? Were you not being honest about what you said? That you can show me that in scripture?

waiting..
You've been weighed in the balances, and found wanting. :liturgy::pray:

Ok, Im not sure you understand how a debate works.


If you make a claim, you have to back it up.


If you dont back it up, you forfeit the debate and admit concession by default.


So lets make sure EVERYONE is aware, you refuse to answer the question, then use the Bible to accuse me of being found wanting..

Hypocrites are easy to spot bro..

Futurism. It's Fun for everyone.

A more accurate representation of the case would be if you said that when we left New York there were three distinct areas we would pass through. One of them would be 49 miles long and one 434 miles long and one seven miles long. When we finished all of them, we would be in Seattle. Then you went on to say that it would be 49 miles to Annadale, NJ, and after the 434 miles we would be in Zanesville, OH. Then some interesting things would happen, but there would be another seven miles of very bad traffic before we got to Seattle. And you did not tell me that the last seven miles, from Mercer Island WA to Seattle, WA would be two thousand four hundred and seventy miles after Zanesville, OH.

(Distances are from Wild Texas driving times and distance calculator. And yes, I know I reversed the direction of the trip.)

Then, when I challenged you in this, you answered, I did not want you to be discouraged by knowing how very far the whole trip would be.
