It would appear that you two gentleman are deviating from the intent of this thread. I believe RND was greatly castigated for that behavior. If you'd like to argue futurism I'd invite you to start a new thread or return to one of the multiple threads that deal with that topic.

When we discussed Matthew 16:28, we said the coming of the kingdom may refer to the judgement of 70AD. In Matt. 17:11, Elijah "comes" for restoration. Can it be said that God visited for restoration through the prophet then visited for judgement through the events of 70AD? Or is the coming of Elijah...

Peter and whoever else may be interested, Would it be agreeable to start simply from here and look at the coinage mentioned by Christ such as the four-drachma coin in Matthew 17:27? There also seems to be a principle of taxation in Verses 25-26. I think I have some books that may talk about the coin...

Matthew 17:10 The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?" 11Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished...

Thanks mikew for pointing out a flaw in my original post. I should have said the resurrection of Jesus and not given the impression that I was referring to the future resurrection. Again thanks to all for the info so far as I have to teach this tonight.

Thank you for the discussion so far. Preterist posts are always welcome as many of us tend to hold that view. Actually any post or view is welcome as long as it remains pertinent to the original question. One of my references expresses a line of reasoning where the coming in power as in Mark 9:1 ref...

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. KJV This passa...

Hello Peter, Yes, in my previous examples I've used a broad definition or concept of money to include everything that at least two parties would be willing to exchange for some good or service. Your car example hits pretty close to home. About 5 years ago I traded a 1988 Toyota Camry that was in poo...

Pete, Finally have a minute to reply as promised. RND makes the general point that can't be lost in the discussion. No matter whether we speak of paper money, gold, silver, tobacco, seashells or whiskey, we have to keep in mind that these items have an agreed value between participants to a transact...

I am a really rotten person to get in a discussion with because, every time I think I might have a reasonably paced day or two and be able to continue a conversation, business picks up and I get too exhausted to answer. Suzana made one of my general points. Her monetary authority won't accept Thromb...
