ECT Why preterism can never be taken seriously by Bible believers

There's your problem - to borrow from a point in Musterion's one more great post, Zachariah 14's inspired vision does not match Josephus' non-inspired, histories.

And in any such conflict, one of two things happens. The contradiction is denied/ignored, or it's carefully examined and resolved. Tet will do the former while claiming it's we disps who have failed to do the latter.

Watch...

Anything that doesn't match was "conditional" or "fulfilled in Christ Jesus".

It takes a lot more twisting of scripture to fit the dispensationalist view of scriptures than it does to take the preterist view... seriously.

In order to believe the dispensionalist view, you need to throw all the time periods out and 'spiritualize' them.. and make a living out of prognosticating when they will happen.

I have lived 55 years on this planet, listening to dispensationalist pastors prognosticate about the end of the world on some specific date only to watch the date pass by.

How many chances are we to give them? Do we just be quiet and let them stew in their idiocy?


Seriously, look at all these whack jobs... and then look at how many are dispensationalist!

Ain't gonna happen.

Just remember dispy's.... every time you let your dispensationalism show, I associate you with these false prophets.

The MAD wackos on this site are just as disturbed by the predictions as you are.

What bothers me most, is they never run the false prophets out of town like scriptures tell us to... they just keep allowing themselves to be under their false teaching.

All it takes is one false interpretation to disqualify anyone that says they are a teacher.

Zech 14
1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ***, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Titus did all that you know?

That is THEM and THEIR followers.

He's just like Tet with Darby. If he says you're guilty, insisting you're not only proves you're lying

He is only combating ignorance.... there is nothing new under the sun and someone somewhere believed what you do before you did.

In this case, dispensationalism can be traced back to Darby as being the champion of this new systematic theology. Just because you were never taught about him doesn't mean you do not follow his systematic theology.

The reason one must take heed is so “that no one takes you captive” (2:8). The word captive or spoil (sulagogo) is a rare word, and is found only here in the New Testament. It means to “carry off as booty." Campbell translates it as “make prey of.” It speaks of being a victim of a fraud. It later is used as kidnapped. It signifies “carrying someone away from the truth into the slavery of error.” It indicates both the danger and the seriousness of the influence of error. It speaks of the ability and power of the false philosophy that is spread by the false teachers. It reinforces the concept of danger.

There are two consequences that reinforce the idea of being taken captive: (1) Being moved away from the hope of the gospel—cf. 1:23. (2) Being defrauded of the prize—cf. 2:18.

No one ever said Christ Himself destroyed Jerusalem. The Roman army was used to destroy Jerusalem.

"Tet is a preterist that believes Christ already returned in 70 AD viathe Roman Army."-Tambora, on another TOL thread

"Correct, and thanks for making it clear that it was the Roman army that was His return
."-stupid Craigie

"The Roman army destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD. That is what Jesus meant when He said He will return."-Gomer Tet.



Hebrews 9:28 KJV
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Craigie the Clown: The Roman army was looking for him-that is the "them" above. My infallible AD 70/Pteterist "teachers" taught me,like Hank Hanegraaf, from whom I copy'npaste/spam.

There you go, TOL audience! His "this can be used to address/answer any question, about literal events that are prophesied in the book, that, I Tellallie cannot answer, as it is not in my AD 70-ist/Preterist books/tapes/articles, from infallible men, as this shuts down everyone" scam.

Scammer, snake oil sales"man" for all to observe, witness, as he can "prove" anything, employing this deceit.

What Titus did not do was fulfilled in Christ Jesus.

We are all stumped, scratchin' our Ernest T. Bass, country bumpkin noggins, Mayor,with this debate stumper/ender, from Craigie Tellalie, so much so, that we are all in denial, embarrassed, not to have seen this before, and our fatal 134th "death knell" that we've suffered, at the hands of Craigie pie....Wait for it....

And, the events of 70ad do not match the description of the second coming by the prophets.

Both events were prophesied, and are simply different.
Some of them do. Some of them don't.

If we deny every point made, we have ceased to engage in logical argumentation, and become mere rhetoricians.

Preterism teaches that Jesus meant what He said.

Except for that whole 'not one stone left upon another' thing. That was just His nonliteralistic alleygoreicall figger of speechifying, to be spurtially applicated by those in His Kingdom Now.
