You said, "They must, after all, since God is finished with us." Where did you get this idea? Who told you God is finished with us? This IS NOT what FP is.

I've felt ashamed of myself because I sarcasmed at you without true understanding. Could you explain what FP is for me? If you are willing to do this (and I would be so grateful) would you be so kind as to skip over the timing statements, audience relevance, and the proclamations that Jesus is not a liar? I get this part. I really, really understand it. What I don't understand (most especially your version of full preterism, robbyyoung, since I am pretty sure you believe that the church was raptured in 70 AD) is what Christ is doing now and what we, His people, are supposed to be doing. So, would you pick up the thread in, say, 71 AD, and finish the story?

I don't think Robby or anyone else is saying that we're supposed to stop evangelizing people because "the end" that was on the horizon happened. In fact, the close of Isaiah 66 describes the conditions of the New Heaven and New Earth, where evangelists go out to all of the world (most of which hadn't ever heard of God at that point). I suggest you think about the implications of that:jriccitelli wrote:Robby, I see that the message was first to the Jews, and then to the uttermost parts of the World, which the disciples took literally. They were told to go unto all nations (ethros) and to all the world (Kosmos), and that is where they were headed, there is no indication this was complete by 70ad.
You are combining Rom 10:18 with Rom.16:26 and Col.1:5-6, but Rom.10 is repeating Psalm 19:4 which speaks of the general conviction of Gods Creation, just like Romans 1:20/ Psalms 19:1. Creations conviction is complete, but Rom.16:26 and Col.1:5-6 speak of an ongoing thing. There is nothing in these other two passages that suggest the commission is over, they suggest it is being done. Besides Paul expected to still go to Spain .
Do you not believe in a Judgment upon all the nations, Gentiles and world?
Do the Gentiles escape a Judgment after death?
