As far as I am concerned, I've proven my case many times. As far as you are concerned, you've proven your case many times. I don't see any point in discussing this any further, since neither of us accepts the other's proof. Good day, Brother.

You imply that I am just guessing, and that I don't know for sure. Let me assure you, I KNOW those events have happened just as surely as I know that Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead on the 3rd day. You may repeat "those events just haven't happened yet" all day, but that doesn't...

Reply to @robycop3: You said "Nupe! And John had never likely not seen a meteor land, nor did he know what they were, or he's at least written, "I saw a star fall into the sea." Again, this was symbolic language. You said "The trib will come upon the whole world, as Jesus said. And the tribes...

I'm pretty sure John had seen shooting stars before. Revelation has a series of visions, including this burning mountain. Just as the symbolic language of the OT prophecies pointed to major events, so did all the symbolic language of Revelation. The tribulation of those days was AD 66-70...

I switched to TOCO a couple of years back, and they have been good. They even applied a $40 discount recently when I sent them a receipt of my most recent oil change. Having said that, it could have been a longevity reward. Still, that is who I recommend.

True, Jesus did not use symbolic language when He prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem & the temple, wars and rumors of wars, etc. However, Jesus did often use symbolism - e.g., "I am the door", "the one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood will have eternal life", etc. Many OT...

A blind man walks into a bar with his seeing eye dog. The blind man picks up his dog and spins him around. The bartender asked "why did you do that?" The blind man replied, "oh, I'm just looking around."

On the one hand you insist that the fantastic imagery in Revelation such as we see in the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials are literal. On the other hand, you insist that the plain, ordinary language used in the "time indicators" have to mean something else. You know my answer - the star, which you...

I answered this argument in post # 6 - THE MARK OF GOD AND BEAST.

That's your argument??? Really??? Then either Jesus and the NT authors can't tell time, or are terrible at getting a simple message across to their audience. If Jesus meant "that generation" or "the generation that sees those events", He is smart enough to have said what He meant. Why would...

Revelation has more references to the OT than any other book in the NT. It makes perfect sense for John to refer to a historical event. The only way Revelation doesn't fit Rome and Jerusalem is if you have already made up your mind ahead of time that it has to apply to the whole world. In...

I've provided plenty of evidence to support the Preterist view. You have never provided a sound argument against the "time indicators" arguments. You have no real proof, only your guesswork and futurist fantasies.

Truth be told, I do have a copy of it that I refer to every now and then. Just don't tell anybody.

In order: NASB95 NKJV Lexham English Bible (on the Bible Gateway site) Amplified Bible HCSB I have an NASB95 Inductive Study Bible which I use for in-depth study. I especially like it because it's designed for the reader to write what he believes the major themes of the books are. It also...

Surely you don't believe that by "hour" Jesus meant a literal period of 60 minutes!!!! Now that would be ridiculous. Quite true. However, that still applies to individuals. It does not apply to God allowing Israel to bring back sacrifices. Regardless of what the Jews have ready, this will...

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Those whom He warned didn't know how much time they would have before the Roman army returned. Thus, get out while you can. The "free will" argument only applies to our salvation. Doesn't really fit allowing Israel to return to Temple sacrifices after...

Sometimes the Baptist Board doesn't separate our individual quotes, so I will try to answer your points. You said "Balderdash! There weren't anywhere near 200 million people involved altogether in the destruction of J." The original language of Revelation 9:16 referred to a "double myriad"...

I feel like the guy who has led the horse to the water, but the horse is afraid to take a drink because it's not from a familiar stream. I don't mind at all when you jump in. This is an open discussion, after all. You are correct in that the means to dry up the entire Euphrates does exist...

You are assuming that I have a problem. While there are lots of authors who can get their followers to believe crazy things (such as Lindsey), I assure you that Gentry, DeMar, Rogers, Sproul, etc. are not "Rabble Rousers". To the contrary, they present very sound Biblical support for their...

I don't think the Euphrates literally dried up in AD 70. Rather, this is an allusion to when the Euphrates was literally dried up to prepare the way for literal kings from the east (in fulfillment of Jeremiah 50:36 & Isaiah 44:27-28). According to the famous Greek historian Herodotus, and...
