well, but Scripture says the old earth was destroyed; and the released raven tells me that the old heaven prolly was, too?

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

I'm not disagreeing. There are no wrong answers. I just want to see it verbalized. What is the impact? anyone

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

i am wracking my brain to come up with any?

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

i'm not sure how a Posterist deals with Christ's "I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

which might help to clarify this; but i suggest (don't know) that the difference might be one of mindset, and therefore not easy to verbalize--however, i see a reflection in today's brain pickings that might address this
https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/0...dweck-mindset/
even if it does not answer these questions directly. (i suspect it might)

so, pick a question:
what is the impact?
how do Posterists deal with Christ's quote?
which view, Preterist/Posterist, might you associate with which mindset in the article? if any

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

I don't want to read anything into it that's not there, but this seems to imply we're still on the first earth:

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1 KJV)

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

ya, i guess it was destroyed by water, but not yet by "fire." but i think a point is that it is dangerous to get married to an opinion, and start excluding all other opinions. If the earth "became void" at the beginning of Genesis--a valid reading--we might be on some fifth "earth," for all anyone knows--or at least third. The "elements melting" will happen when the sun goes nova, in a couple billion years or whatever.

how does a posterist interpret Christ's quote? i have no idea, and would like to know. Do you just ignore it, or what?

Re: Scoffers on AFF
 

Sean, with all due respect, don't you think these are questions you should be able to answer, if you are going to hold the position you do? Or have i turned you Preterist? :lol

Thank you Randy, finally a voice of sanity!

The kingdom Jesus spoke of arrived in Acts 2.....minus one Apostle....Judas.
