impressive.
More like partial preterist.
The historical context is fascinating to me.. Jesus lived his whole life under brutal Roman occupation. Maybe that's why I really appreciate the breakthrough theology of the Sermon on the Mount. It was revolutionary.. non-violent liberation theology... a complete departure from the old ways... and an end to the old world.
o. no. margot?
[QUOTE=wingrider;122869]I will give you one within the last 70 years...
the re-establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948..Quote
I supposed I should appreciate your recognition of the close working relationship with God that the British have built up . And of course if it suits your mind set to see a man worked solution as God's handy work , so be it .
But to produce only one instance from several thousand years suggests God is slow , lazy and forgetful . And I am afraid that your one desperate attempted example cuts no ice whatsoever .
Unless you can prove that he is on incapacity benefits , I expect several hundred sensible examples a day from across the planet .
If you don't know Him you will never understand. Wing is correct.
Fear not .
I know him very well . And believe me ( your constant plea) , you are in for a very big shock .
It's far better than you can imagine but not at all what you believe in .It's the real deal , not the Christian type eternal tea party with ovens in the basement .
So the challenge has been cast,, I doubt you will read it but there are about 300 Prophecies Concerning Christ that were told from at least 1000 bc before his birth death burial and resurrection

starting in Genesis and continuing through
The eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring bullets loading. you are old enough to kill , but not for voting, this whole crazy world is just to frustrating, and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don't believe we are on the EVE of DESTRUCTION.
Never approach a bull from the front, A horse from behind, or a fool from any direction.
Even if true , what an abysmal record over the time period . At least two a minute should be God's target .
Elsewhere you referred to the Israel situation as "proof" .
We will agree to differ because I find such "reasonoing " embarrassingly bankrupt .
And in my system , so does God .
Paul was another bigot who ended up rewriting matters to suit his personal strategy and view points . And what a fine mess that produced .
