Joe: Not to disagree with you, but just to shed further light on this subject, I submit the following for the consideration of all: 'A common problem among interpreters of the Bible is that of "shifting gears". If a person approaches his interpretation of the Bible with, for example, a face value hermeneutic, then it is critical that he remain consistent with his approach. However, many often "flip flop" in their interpretation approach to maintain a preconceived understanding of a text. An example of this is the above. Preterists interpret "this generation" in the simple sense as meaning the generation concurrent with Christ and then suddenly "shift gears" and apply a figurative approach to arrive at a spiritualized understanding of the Rapture and the resurrection. That is an inconsistent hermeneutic and leads to error.' ____________________ (Did Jesus Already Return in AD 70? By Rev.

I agree with the quote. There is, of course, a "middle" position between complete futurism and full preterism which does acknowledge the significance of A.D. 70 in Matthew 24 and at the same time looks forward to Christ's final appearing. Right now, that is the position toward which I lean. --Joe! |
