Re: Rev 17:8 - The beast who is not

Though I prefer Duncan's explanation, the following link is to a pro-Nero preterist explanation.

Re: Rev 17:8 - The beast who is not

If you don't want to read Hitchcock's dissertation, you can watch him debate Hank Hanegraaf on the topic. In my opinion, Hank wipes the floor with him.

Re: Rev 17:8 - The beast who is not

I have almost no time on the way out to door for work. I'll simply suggest that you get both of Duncan's books on the topic. I don't think your understanding of preterism is very sound. http://www.amazon.com/The-Antichrist-Second-Coming-Thessalonians/dp/1615790373/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

The "physical pneumas" theme books have nothing directly to do with preterism. I think everyone should read them. Even opponents of preterism will find interesting and useful information in them. I'm a fan of Russell's book, but his analysis starts to get strained towards the end. He misses what I t...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

There are three books that speak to this issue that are extremely important. You are reading the first one: http://www.amazon.com/Cosmology-Self-Apostle-Paul-Material-ebook/dp/B005RBU8ZE/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1456426361&sr=1-3 A similar book edited by the first author is a series of ...

Re: All Israel Will Be Saved?

It seems to me that since the passage comes as an argument to solve the allegation of unfairness created by hardening some and softening some, the conclusion of that argument is to soften those who'd been hardened. The hardening was done as a means to create a mechanism by which salvation would come...

Re: Jewish View of AD 70

I didn't quote his use of the terms "second coming" and "second advent" because I thought it was common knowledge that he invented the terms. They don't exist previously in the ANF writings, and didn't appear in scripture, so as far as I know they'd never been used before. Do you have an example tha...

Re: Jewish View of AD 70

I'm not sure how you missed it, but the following is a whole chapter making the point. Justin is clearly proposing something like what we define as replacement theology or supersessionism. The Jews were invited to come into the New Covenant as part of the New Testament narrative, but unbelieving Isr...

Re: Jewish View of AD 70

It's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but for a Christian view of the implications of the Roman war I'd read "Dialog with Trypho the Jew" by Justin Martyr. He basically says that because of that calamity, God has reject the Jews and replaced them. Interestingly, he invented the terms "s...

Re: Theosis

The EO approach to the essence of God will illustrate the point you just made. Instead of describing God like we do the food pyramid, with love or perfection at that top, and other characteristics categorically cited underneath, they start by chipping away at what it's not. So, they'll say God is no...
