What do you mean by "Replacement Theology"?

I'm not surprised at your failure to see any other possible interpretation of those Scriptures. Just disappointed that such a really smart guy like you won't look past his biased views on eschatological.

The fact that they were copied doesn't mean they were not inspired by God. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us "All Scripture is inspired by God. St. Paul doesn't give us any exceptions. My apologies for such a short answer, but it's the first thing that came to mind.

Actually, the only reason that I continue this tiring old argument with you is to show other Christians the validity of the Preterist view, and the weaknesses of the "rapture / futurist" view. They need to learn not what to think, but how to think through these doctrines. If a person rejects...

If the whole world was in view, Jesus, Paul, and John would have used the word "kosmos". While we understand "kosmos" to mean the universe, that was certainly a word they used to mean the entire planet. Since Nero and the Roman Empire were the culprits behind the Great Tribulation, it wouldn't...

Jesus proves the truth of partial preterism. You just cannot accept the fact that the great tribulation was a 1st century event limited to Israel, not a future fantasy that will impact the entire world. In Revelation 3:10, Jesus promised the church in Philadelphia that He would keep THEM from...

Actually, I suggest that it's you "futurists" who are guessing at what Paul (and Jesus) meant.

I was just reviewing my Thompson Chain Reference Bible to see if you may have missed something, but you are absolutely correct. Since the Scriptures are inspired but man's commentaries and notes are not, it is possible that Luke 10 is not out of chronological order. However, I also think that...

Not at all. Like so many words, oikumene has more than just one possible meaning. This was used to mean the Roman Empire throughout the NT.

Your proof is just so much confirmation bias. Thank you for the history regarding why the Roman army left. That really makes sense. When you say you are good at history, you ain't kidding. I gave you the definitions of oikumene and kosmos, along with their usage in the Bible. I stand by my...

That is circular reasoning. It's not a question of believing the Scriptures. It's understanding the author's intended meaning. Not all Scriptures can be read the same way - history, poetry, and prophecy are each understood differently.

So Augustus had the entire inhabited earth counted in his census.

Not sure why you just repeated the Scriptures. I've explained the true interpretation, but you refuse to believe it. If there is a point to keeping up our discussion, that's fine. Neither of us are going to budge, and I've better things to do with my time than engage in a discussion where we...

I'm not the one who is changing what the words mean.

Of course that proves THAT Matthew 24:1-13 has been fulfilled. It doesn't disprove that the rest of the Olivet Discourse has also been fulfilled. You have no proof that verses 14-41 have not been fulfilled. You can't say these are separate events when Jesus makes it so clear they were the...

You have only posted your interpretation of your "rapture" verses. They are only "clear" if you already buy into that view. Actually, I wish this was a true doctrine instead of a made up fantasy. I'd love to escape. One wouldn't have to believe in the rapture in order to be taken. He would...

Thank you for clearing that up. As y'all know, I believe the rapture and the whole Dispensationalist view of eschatology is just a bunch of man-made doctrine. Of course, that's been the whole point of our disagreements all along.

The proof is can be found in our history books. You claim that only the fist 13 verses of Matthew 24 have been fulfilled. Prove it. Jesus never said, "okay guys, I am switching to tell you about events 2,000 years in the future". As I mentioned earlier, let's compare Matthew 24 with Luke 21...

My objection to the word "age" has to do with the Dispensationalist myth that history is divided into 7 dispensations (or ages). According to this doctrine, we are currently living in the 6th Dispensation (aka "Age of Grace" or "Church Age"). I rejected that eschatological view many years ago...

We preterists do show you the history. Your problem is that you deny that what we show you is fulfillment of prophecy. You remind me of an owl - the more light you shine on them, the less you see. No matter how much PROOF we show you, you will say that we haven't proven anything because you...
