1 | Still not convinced preterism is false | Matt 16:28 | Coper44 | 183727 | ||
Tim, I stand by what I've said earlier. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I will continue to belabor the point: The burden of proof remains on you and all futurists to explain the imminency passages. God inspired most if not all of the NT writers to inform their audiences that Christ was returning soon. I believe God fulfilled his promise when Christ returned circa 70AD. If I eventually find out that he came in physical form to judge the world, resurrect and rescue his own, I will apologize to you. Until then, I must associate his 70AD return with the Isaiah judgement coming in the form of an army, citing past precedence and in the spirit of Scripture interpreting Scripture. When those living in the first century were told that he was to return in their liftme I don't believe God was playing word games with them or giving them false hope. With respect, Coper |

2 | Still not convinced preterism is false | Matt 16:28 | stjohn | 183730 | ||
you are right the coming of Christ was and is imminent: by definition imminent simply means it could but does not imply that it will happen soon. also, I think quickly would be a better translation then soon. peas stj | ||||||

stjohn, You can't be serious. The word "imminent" has been used in this discussion to describe words and phrases in Scripture. If you think "imminent" is obscure or open ended, you can't just explain "soon" away by replacing it with "quickly". And, even if you do that, you are left with all the other imminency passages. Nice try but it won't work. Coper |
