Rapture in 70 AD

[timjarrb]

I have seen preterist people who I love dear refuse communion

 

[Luke2427]

.....and then they run and hide :laugh: cause the flood of truth from all the doctrinally CORRECT Baptists (we do have at least a few here:smilewinkgrin leaves them too bruised and bloody to continue. It takes incredible blindness and ignorance to accept such a theory as full (or even partial preterism. You have to reject and refuse to rightly and properly divide extensive portions of scripture to accept such nonsense. That is just my humble opinion on the matter. Seriously...we need to sincerely pray that these people can somehow be recovered from the snare of the devil that they have been made captive too.:tear:

First of all, there is nothing humble about the way you expounded your opinion in this post.

Most partial preterists, whether right or wrong, are well educated.

Any moron can go with the pop eschatology of the day- that is pretrib, premil dispensationalism.

Morons like Paul Crouch and the whole TBN crowd tout that eschatology. I'm not saying it is wrong (it IS but I am not saying that here) but I am saying that these people would be beat to a bloody pulp in a debate with most preterists.

Preterists are most often people who are intelligent enough NOT to accept the fad of the day which is what rapture theology is.

So, I doubt VERY SERIOUSLY the likes of you have "beat and bloodied and bruised" any preterists.

If you would like to try it with me- I'm game.

 

[Luke2427]

I don't label it as heresy, I label it as stupidity. If Jesus came in 70 A.D., the whole wide world would know about it. When God sets foot on earth again, trust me, you will notice.

And herein is YOUR stupidity seen yet again.

If you had half as much sense as you think you have then you would know that "world" in the context of this passage could and probably does, and USUALLY does, mean a particular place- not the whole PLANET.

This is why IFB folks all need to go to seminary before they are allowed to preach or teach theology.

 

[Luke2427]

Friend...you have been terribly deceived. In order to believe this false doctrine you must ignore or discard much of the book of Acts, much of the writings (Inspired) of the Apostle Paul under God's Inspiration to the Gentiles (Acts 13:46) and a huge body of (as yet) unfulfilled end-times Prophecy concerning the Lord's return and the World yet-to-come. That is sheer lunacy and downright tragic.:tear:

Bro.Greg:saint:

Except that they are prophecies that HAVE been fulfilled already.

If all prophecy has already been fulfilled, then is there no judgment for anyone alive today, or anyone who has been alive since the Roman destruction of Jerusalem? And how are the words of Jesus true that, concerning the temple, "not one stone will be left on top of another," when part of a wall of that temple still stands? And finally, even if you understand "the world" in prophecy to be roughly the eastern Mediterranean and near east, has there ever been a 'world' that passed away and a new one replaced it?

Preterism seems to me to be a subset of agnosticism, in which scripture is so elasticized as to have no divine meaning, but is just hyperbole and metaphor for generally inevitable events forced into an indefinite mold....meaning virtually nothing.
