ECT What makes Preterism so impossible

[Wick Stick]

No, he sent me a PM, hitting on me, loser, and tried to set me up with his wife. He also tried to be my FB friend, and downloaded my pics. He has a a man crush on me, as you obviously do.

Yes, clearly. Who could resist your charming wit?

What generation?

The generation which sees all these things coming to pass

This generation will not pass away until all things be fulfilled

"this" is a demonstrative adjective that modifies the noun "generation".

If Jesus was speaking of a future generation, then the demonstrative adjective "that" is the proper grammar.

Get a concordance, or go to biblegateway.com's concordance, type in "this generation", and see for yourself who Jesus was referring to when He said "this generation".

Every time Jesus said "this generation" in the gospels, He was always referring to the generation of His contemporaries, not a future generation.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Ooh a bit of adding on of words and meanings there Tet

Tut tut

When ye shall see the fig tree and all the trees put forth their branches ye know that summer is nigh, so also when ye see ALL THESE THINGS you know it is nigh even at the doors verily I say unto you THIS generation ....

What generation?

This generation will not pass away until all things be fulfilled

But you know all that


In the context of thousands of years since the earth was formed we are and were then in the last times

Congrats to Dearest Tottykins for creating The Thread of the Year!!!

This is wrong on two counts, firstly the generation that Jesus was addressing had not witnessed the fig tree put forth her leaves therefore they could not be "this" generation

Secondly we read in the very next sentence verse 36

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven but my Father only

If "Jesus" came back invisibly, how did anyone at that time know He came back? Being invisible, why would anyone believe He came back at all? Serious question -- serious evidence only, please.

Get with the program, Musterion - what, you never heard of H.G. Wells?

Bandages, bro; bandages :chuckle:

 

[musterion]

Wells was a heathen.

 

[steko]

Wells was a heathen.

The word is 'heathern'.

 

[Danoh]

The word is 'heathern'.

In the words of Rexella Van Impe "thank you Jack" :chuckle:

 

[patrick jane]

Wells was a heathen.

Great signature musty !!! It gives me a calm confidence and assurance

 

[musterion]

The word is 'heathern'.

You are correct. The Duck of Shame roosts heavy and damp upon my head.

 

[steko]

:sibbie: DARBY!!!!!

"Bye...bye!"- Rexella

I still dno't know what these people do with Is 55. He swore in the days of Noah never to destroy the earth, and swore never to destroy Israel. And then he did in the DofJ. Therefore: literalism must be abandoned.

Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

The preterist translation.

The preterist translation.

Sadly, yes.
Simply unbelief.

Ah, the very origin of Preterism - the origin of which was the attempt, on the one hand, to reason the literal into it's at least making symbolic sense.

On the other, turn to that equally erroneous form of reason external to the Scripture - lets see what the secular has said about a thing.

What - a - mess.

O'Hair is still relevant these fifty eight years after his home going - "people who don't have spiritual eyes, tell spiritual lies."
