I am ready to deal with your arguments ...Dear R.E.<br /><br />I am ready to deal with your arguments here on a unbiased basis now, lets see if you are correct. <br /><br />OK, you say I am a Hyper-Preterist. Can that be so if I understand that these things concerning the second coming have a wider definition then history itself? In other words if I understand that they have to do with Jerusalem but more so have to do with you, me, and the church down the street as pertains to today. Hard to explain what I am saying here in one or two lines, but my question is does this still fall under Hyper-Preterism in your opinion?<br /><br />Yours truly,<br /><br />DJP<br /><br />PS you can email me at directionalism@yahoo.com and let me know you answered me there or else just send me an email.

You may not be getting one because you posted as "Anonymous" even though you signed your post Arthur. Do you know of a forum for people like us who are struggling though these questions about FP vs. PP? I, like Dr. Sproul, had my post-milennial position challenged by Russel's Parousia.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Dan DePriestDannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172789211880677949.post-39960393397780401622014-02-03T03:24:03.645-05:002014-02-03T03:24:03.645-05:00Hi, I'm new to this kind of view.
Our pastor w...Hi, I'm new to this kind of view.<br />Our pastor was a dispensationalist and I was not satisfied with the explanations of the Rapture in Mathew 24. So I studied other eschatology and I discovered Preterism which is rather a bit more logical.<br /><br />Based on reading your explanations, I realized that Dr. Kenneth Gentry and R.C Sproul was right (I hope you know them), they explained that the whole Olivet Discourse ALL happened in 70 AD but still believes that Christ will return again bodily at the end of the Cosmos/Human History. They also explained that "The great Tribulation" is just Local judgment of the Jews for harloting with the Roman Empire, not worldwide and the coming in the clouds was a metaphor for "judgment" (are they correct that all "coming in the clouds" in the Bible signifies judgment?)So Partial Preterism as explained by Dr. Gentry and Sproul is the most Valid and correct biblical view of the endtimes. Do you Agree? <br /><br /><br />I also want to ask about - "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come" ...For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,<br />Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;..."<br /><br />Is this already past also? ,,cause The word "last" in this verse is from the word "eschatos", which points to the ultimate end of a thing - such as the last month of the year; the last week of the month; the last day of a week; or the very extreme end of the age. In other words, the word eschatos doesn't merely describe the last days in general, but the very last of the last days. It was used in classical Greek literature to depict a place furthest away, such as the very ends of the earth. In this sense, it also signified something that is final.<br /><br />What does the Bible say about that?, It sounds like "The Great Tribulation" but the word "eschaton" is different from the word "aion" which means "age" - which Full Preterist use to explain that "End of the World" "aion" in Mathew 24 as actually a Metaphorical language for the end of the Age of the Jewish Age". Is the King James Bible translated wrong in some aspects that we have to know a lot of Jewish idioms to understand it rather than read it as it is?
