Now, That's just my opinion not argument. it would be endless for me to try and respond to these issues, simply due to the fact, first I'm out gunned on this forum, and secondary I guess in my opinion which is what a forum is about, If some of you chose to follow this particular teaching what is it to me!

Whoa, hoss! lol
Do you think I never had doubts about this when I first came across it?
Brother, the bible teaches the wisdom of checking with scriptures anything that we have not heard before, as the Bereans who searched scriptures daily to see whether Paul's words were true or not. To be closed minded to something is a fleshly response that ANYONE experiences at first when they hear something they were not taught before. We have all done it. Imagine a trinitarian hearing Oneness for the first time.
God may be trying to show you truth! It is only because it is so contrasting from what you were taught that it seems wrong. But do not succumb to the common urge to cast it away since it is different. Had the Bereans done that with Paul's words they would never have known truth. I do not ask you to accept my views, but to GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
At least CONSIDER it may be true. On what basis would we not? Really stop and think about it. On WHAT BASIS would you cast it away? What if you interpreted something different than what God intended you to interpret it as? What if what you heard was wrong and you simply adhere to it because you first heard that view you hold and reject anything on the simple basis that it is not what you heard before? How would you know you were wrong?
Proverbs says to HEAR A MATTER OUT FULLY before you give an answer to it, lest you act foolishly.
Proverbs 18:13 KJV He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
This does not mean to accept everything that comes our way. But it means to not cast it away on the simple basis that it is different from your beliefs.
This view STILL HAS JESUS COMING IN THE FUTURE with a rapture and all. But it also shows that the punishment on Israel from the cross was real.
Surely you will at least check it out and honestly give it a chance, which you have not done yet. Otherwise, Solomons said we act foolishly. If God is trying to show you something, then you are not letting him!
Matt 21:40 was talking about AD70 destruction and CALLED IS THE COMING OF THE LORD! Check it out!
Matthew 21:40 KJV When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Matthew 21:45 KJV And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
