1 | First Century Second Coming? | John 5:19 | Xerxes | 128190 | ||
Hey Tim, Good point. You're absolutely right that my bias is that I adhere to neither, but I am willing and prepared for both. About the "lack of evidence" comment: I am not saying that the premillenialist theory has no foundation or is not credible. I'm saying that its credibility is in the fact that many of the stated things seem not to have happened yet, and this perception allows for unsubstantiated substantiation. *laugh* Get my drift? Now, are you truly telling me in all honesty that you had no preconceived notions whatsoever? Because I find that hard to believe. I know complete heathens that believe "Jesus is coming back," or have at least heard the concept. If you heard the concept prior to picking up the book, you would have a natural affinity for taking the scriptures in that sense. Also, the liklihood of you being well versed in history at that stage in your Christianity, while not impossible, is not likely, so you would not have any idea that some of the things mentioned COULD have already happened.

Greetings Xerxes! I was only six when I accepted Christ. By the time I was 14, I was already called to preach. So, I really didn't have any preconceived notions at all. I had no one to teach them to me. My family knew nothing about the Bible except that is protects the coffee table from dust! :-) As far as history goes, I was pretty well versed as a young age. I was reading Isaac Asimov when I was six years old, so I was into heavy reading even as a child. By the time I got to college, I was well read on the issue from all sides. I know the positions. I just don't agree with the preterist postion and I do not believe that the Bible makes a very strong case for it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Good job Mr. Tim *laugh* You and I are in the same boat regarding the preterist position. I don't know that I agree with it either. Nor am I sure I agree with the premillenial position. Thus, I am undecided. I see holes in both cases, and I am content to continue exploring until I learn the truth or see Christ return. Thanks for the debate. Peace and prosperity to you in the Lord Jesus Christ, Xerxes |
