The Narrow Path Ministries

I guess if he wants to be go into "normal" Christian ministry, then he should fight against it, but otherwise ...? Not long ago, I shared the basics of my full preterist beliefs with a friend who's studying online with DTS (Dallas Theological Seminary), the bastion of dispensationalism. I mentioned...

And so I think in a sense you are right. She may be in my dreams a lot b/c she represents the very instinctive 'crush', 'love at first sight,' 'ideal,' 'summer fling' kind of relationship. (I hadn't replied). Interestingly enough, I had a dream this weekend about a young woman I had a 'crush' on wh...

Now we're assuming Jesus had an earthly body, a resurrected body, and an ascended body. I see no reason to differentiate between the last two. If that was directed to me, that wouldn't be how I see things at all. Jesus had and will always have one body, which has undergone great transformations tha...

VERY briefly & I'll be back in a day or so. The pre-ascension resurrected body of the Lord was, indeed, quite special: appearing in a room not walking through a door, face unrecognizable, road to Emmaus, etc. The post-ascension body of Jesus was a blinding light !!!! (Paul, road to Damascus). 1Co 15...

Psimmond (briefly for now), I must admit --- I'm no expert on Revelation. It seems I take in a lot of views but haven't come to anything concrete. Re: Perriman & Christendom. Leaving scripture aside, we know something happened with Constantine, ff. Something very significant in history. I suppose I ...

Psimmond, As to if "Babylon" in Rev was Rome? or Jerusalem? --- and what bearing either option would have on preterism --- I'm not exactly sure what you mean here(?). To be sure, the early (pre-70) date for authorship lends support for preterism. I accept the early date. Ken Gentry did a lot of good...

You know it's interesting, when I was a JW this was the most natural teaching in the world. We (they) taught (teach) that those raised to heavenly life are raised with spirit bodies. There is a whole line of reasoning on it. I have never really divorced myself from that thinking, because I could ne...

Greetings psimmond, Doug, anyone else, Thanks for your reply, psimmond! Yes. It looks like we've come from similar backgrounds & appear to be heading in a same general direction. And yes, again @ long strange trip it's been, :shock: One thing helps, as far as that feeling of alienation from Christia...

I felt I should add . . . . I've been concentrating on eschatology over the last few years. Actually, eschatology has always been one of my favorite doctrines. Yet no doctrine/teaching sits in isolation to [the] others. Lastly for now, Engberg-Pedersen's exegesis of 1 Cor 15 is the most comprehensiv...

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. Yes. Engberg-Pedersen's book delves deeply into Paul's cosmology and/or worldview: 'Stoic-like' -- and ...
