Subject: Preterism refuted using Scripture alone? |
Bible Note: Tom, My wife and I have a 16 month old grandson and he has changed our lives. As a parent I never imagined being a grandparent could be so exhilarating. Thanks again for your encouragement. Like you the Scriptures opened up to me anew after discovering preterism. I'm aware of the amount of time it must have taken you to post your well researched and well written responses. I am in awe of your insight and your writing abilities. I intend to check back now and then to see what advice is being given here. I'll definetly check back tomorrow. The frustrating part for me has been the non-response to specific questions. I tried to focus on the time-frame as you know since it's so clear. I thought the refutation would be easy for the futurist. I thought there must be someone out there who had the key to refute it. I do appreciate the time and effort spent by those opposing preterism, but I really expected more insightful responses. On one hand it's frustrating yet on the other it's somehow gratifying. To be castigated for being too well versed on preterism was unexpected to say the least. When one chooses to change the subject, make personal attacks, or "take their ball and go home" so to speak, it gives me a little more confidence. I'm more convinced than ever of a first century second coming. The only other option is that Jesus was not who he claimed, and as Paul said, "our faith is in vain". And that is not an option as far as I'm concerned. Thanks again and I look forward to reading whatever you have to report. Coper |
