Agree with ya Stokey....God said He would only contend with man 120 years, and then 120 years later came the flood. | ||||||
2 | Preterist interpretation of this verse. | Luke 21:32 | goldnbreez | 51386 | ||
The Preterist view does interpret the word GENERATION to be the one that Jesus was talking to. One book that was helpful for me to understand the preterist view was "The Last Days According to Jesus" by RC Sproul. However, I came across three other interpretations of "generation" in my study of it. 1) the generation did not pass until all things were fulfilled. When Jesus came into His glory, it was finished. Therefore there is no contradiction of those verses. 2) The generation spoken about was the generation of wickedness that would rise up the antichrist and apostacy. 3) The generation of man, meaning man would not be passed. Which one to believe....well that is the ultimate question, however, I really do stay adamant on two things. Love God with all your heart mind soul and strength, and Love your neighbor as yourself. I study the scriptures to show myself approved, and also to be able to give a clear answer of my faith. No matter how you interpret "generation" and no matter which millenial view you fall under. Whether you are a preterist, a pre-tribber, a mid-tribber, a post tribber, a amillenialists, a futurists, etc.......Jesus said only the Father knows when that day would come...so we are left with Faith, Hope and Charity. |

3 | Water baptism unnecessary for conversion | Acts 2:38 | goldnbreez | 51333 | ||
1 Pet 3:21--Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which also goes along with what the verse posted prior 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.' Acts 2:21 Calling upon the Name of the Lord, to save you, so that you can have a clean conscience to Christ. I have never understood why people get caught up in the water baptism. In acts, it is said in chapter 18---This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; ..... clearly showing the difference. The Baptism that does save is the answer of a clean conscience to Christ....and the only way to get that, is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, so that His blood along with your repentance cleanses and redeems you. However, I might add, that I also have been water baptised. Why? Obedience and Testimony that I indeed am a Witness to the Love and Salvation of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God Bless |
