Stan I hope you don't think you are wearying the majority of those who read this thread. What is wearying, is Brian and James one track theology of error. It is the mandate of the servant of God to comfort the afflicted and afflict those who are comfortable. I agree that there are many different eschatological viewpoints that are held by brothers who genuinely love the Lord. However; when your eschatology drives you to alter or deny essential truths like the bodily resurrection of both Christ and all that are His at His coming, then I believe that is a departure from "The Faith". We are called to speak the truth in love; sometimes the most loving thing that one can do is to stand up and oppose such false teaching, both for their benefit and for those who may be drawn away from the truth.

The pertinent questions you have asked have revealed the error of Hyper Preterism. I notice the answers are few and far between but they are enough to demonstrate the errors.

Good job!

"And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,
That in my flesh I shall see God,"

Stan, you said,

" But I ask you, "Do you have solid authority to take Jesus's prophecies as imminent when Scripture establishes different modes in their fulfillment?" Stan

There are many ways to answer that using Daniel's prophesy that God told him to seal because the time was long to John the Revelator being told by God to keep the vision UNSEALED because the time was short. Then I could also find verses in Malachi and throughout the New Testament to prove that Jesus audience was the ones he referred to.

I will write later using the Oliviet Sermon in Matthew, Mark and Luke to prove that Jesus was indeed talking about that generation that would see all fulfillment from his discourse.

Thanks for your well orchestrated post. I shall attempt to answer in kind.

Jim
