"Can anyone explain to me what the thousand years in Rev 20 is all about: - when does it start and when does it end? Regards, Aurel." Hey Aurel, The 1,000...
Mike, Can you tell me where is the IPA web site? Rev 20 mentions two distinct ressurections, do you think first one happened in AD 30 and second happened in AD...
Hi All, :) A certain anti-preterist woman named Dee Dee Warren has been going crazy on the internet for some months now (on her website, in message forums...
David, Pro 25:24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. I would like to say that her name is not...
Dave, I am kind of confused. If Paul's view of the resurrection is true, then Hymen. is damnable. I don't know if I would substitute "preterism" for Hymen....
Dave, I guess what I am saying is that Preterists dod not teach that the resurrection was "past already" in the time of Paul. That is not our doctrine. We do...
Hi Dave and Sam, I hope you do not mind if add a brief comment that may be relevant to your conversation. The yet future view provides a legal basis for...
Dave & Sam, IMHO there needs to be a second witness in scripture to establish a truth and validate what Timothy is saying here. If there isn't, then Timothy...
Morris, Understood. And I certainly agree that we have no basis for condemning futurism (which is why I am an ecumenicist, also). However, I am addressing a...
... resurrection was "past already" in the time of Paul. ... concerning our doctrine of an A.D. 70 ... about the doctrine of Hym. Therefore, you ... taught....
Hi Sam, Futurists are stuck fast in a mire of deductive reasoning. They can say anything they want. To be logically consistent to his legal underpinnings Keith...
Morri, At first, you said, "It is consistent with their legal position. In this I agree with Dave." "Here Hymenaeus and co. fulfilled these conditions but...
Dave, It does not justify their claim for the simple fact that we are not dealing with "any" assertion of the time of the resurrection, but the ONLY assertion...
Hello Samuel, From what I understand about the 1,000 years isn't it true that Preterists suggest that the first ressurection happened some time before Paul and...
Aurel, Virtually all Christians believe in a spiritual "raising up" in Christ that was initiated with the outpoured Holy Spirit. And, it is acknowledged that...
Was the firstfruits ressurection a literal one, in other words did people who were dead came back to life, or was it only a spiritual type of people coming to...
Aurel, Preterists don't believe as did those who overthrew the faith of some during Paul's day (pre AD 70) that the harvest "the resurrection" (and by that I...
Aurel, 1) I would be inclined to say that the firstfruits resurrection of believers was spiritual NC life "In Christ." Christ's overcoming "the death" that ...
I think it does make sense that Christ returned in 70 CE, but I don't know if all prophecy was fullfilled in that year. I can agree that everything related to...
Hey Aurel, 1) When Israel became "born again"(Hos.13:13-14/1Cor.15; Isa.26:8f., cf. Isa.42 & 49)/raised" and with their birth/resurrection/salvation, came...
I appreciate your time in explaining this Mike. If salvation of the first century Christians had such an exact date, 70 CE: - can we assume that something...
Dave and Sam, Trying to make my way through all of these posts. I think I understand what you are saying but you just need to clarify the difference between...
Sam and Dave, Yes, Sam that is what I was trying to say. It's not just the issue of timing, but as you say DOCTRINE associated with that timing. And Dave I...
Morri, Sam, and Dave Jesus said, "heaven and earth will pass away BUT MY WORDS WILL REMAIN FOREVER." I do have a "standard" of judgment whereby I judge false...
I've read a debate on the link below, but I would like to know if Preterists have an answer to that. What do Preterists say about the idea that temple...
Sam and Dave, I liked what you said below Sam :) How difficult it must have been for Luther to come against the traditions of the Roman Catholic church. It...
