tend toward semi-preterism

Question: Full preterism is wrong why? I assume because John wrote Revelation in AD 90 and the temple was destroyed in AD 70? Don't full preterists try to date it before?

[marbren]

It does seem like things are progressing pretty fast

Some wonderful FRiends:Quix, Alamo-Girl, GiovannaNicoletta, have much wisdom about the times we live in.

Mad Dawg is a wonderful catholic that follows replacement theology but is willing to discuss.

Matchett-PI is a brilliant partial preterist that adores replacement theology and hates the rapture.

[Quix]

Thanks Bro.

You are a very Bright, Sensitive, Anointed, Loving, Truth loving, God loving, Christian loving, informed, aware, awake, astute, discerning, motivated, diligent . . . Treasure of a Brother. Very honored to know you.

It seems sometimes that with the world rushing toward Armageddon with super chaotic convoluted, self-defeating, irrational craziness as a refueling point on the way . . .

that FR is determined to race the world toward chaotic self-defeating decompensation.

I never thought I’d see the day that the MSM’s constructions on reality were held to be of a higher priority for FR than honest earnest bright Christian Conservative FREEPERS analyzing data, evidence, . . .

Bitterness, hostility, resentments et al from long standing are probably not the best foundation to base wise decisions on . . . even IF the bitterness, hostility and resentments were originally understandable.

God calls all Christians to utter forgiveness. No option.

[marbren]

Thanks for your kind words. I was just trying to tell people where they can find help for these times we are in. BTW Quix New Madrid may be sooner than we think. Obama just sided with the Palestinians and wants 1967 lines for Israel.

[marbren]

God calls all Christians to utter forgiveness. No option.

AMEN QUIX! Your actions on FR prove you understand this very well. Thank You for your example to me these 10 or so years I have know you as a FRiend. BTW Forgiveness DOES NOT MEAN YOU BECOME A DOORMAT PEOPLE. It means you love all people where they are at and want them to grow. Strong words and convictions are sometimes Holy Spirit inspired.

[Quix]

Thanks for your humbling kind words.

I agree with your other points wholesale.

[Matchett-PI]

"Matchett-PI adores replacement theology and hates the rapture."

"Replacement Theology" is a derogatory term made up by dispensationalists used to label anyone who believes in Covenant (of grace & faith) Theology.

Amillennialism

[Lexinom]

I don't know when it happens.

I do know that there is one only way of salvation, through Jesus. I do know from the Bible that the Lord changes not, does not make mistakes, orders all things for His glory.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up 2 Peter 3:10

[Lexinom]

Good post about amillennialism. It’s heartening to see someone standing up with a spirited defense of the most plausible of the three major views. I don’t see a rapture separated from judgment day in Scripture (premill), or for Darby’s 19th C. invention of dispensationalism. I also don’t see a basis for conflating this world with Christ’s spiritual kingdom.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for your encouragement, dear brother in Christ!

[Alamo-Girl]

I join in your encouragements for our dear brother marbren!

God calls all Christians to utter forgiveness. No option.

Indeed.

[Matchett-PI]

Thank you. I agree!

[marbren]

Hi esquirette, I introduced you to Matchett-PI because he is the clearest one I have found on amill, pretersist and partial preterist positions on FR. You mentioned that you tend toward partial preteist. You now have some good sources on FR as look for answers today. Obviously, Matchett-PI and I are on opposite sides of the debate that is OK. You are free to ask the Holy Spirit for the truth. Remember saying I don't know is a good place to be. I agree with Matchett-PI that he hates the term replacement theology and I embrace it and will continue to use it.

[esquirette]

Thanks, and pleased to meet you. The secret here, I think, is that prophecy in the Bible can be fulfilled more than once. God often gives us a glimpse and then the full picture. I see the point of preterism, but current events are very persuasive.

[marbren]

I agree with you

[marbren]

I think, is that prophecy in the Bible can be fulfilled more than once.

Hi GiovannaNicoletta, Do you have any good links to why Matthew 24 fits both AD 70 and the end times?

[Matchett-PI]

"I agree with Matchett-PI that he hates the term replacement theology"

What I hate are lies.

I agree Matchett-PI is the best on this topic on FR.

Mad Dawg agrees with amill teaching but I don't remember him discussing it much. He does have a great heart for Our Lord Jesus Christ.

[marbren]

What I hate are lies.

Hi Matchett-PI, I hate lies too. Replacement theology is a lie.

[marbren]

What I hate are lies.

For instance Camping who says the rapture will happen tomorrow is a victim of the replacement theology lie. I do not see him discussing the role of Israel much in his analysis. He thinks the church replaced Israel.

The key to holistic Bible prophecy understanding is the role of Israel.
