Re: When is a view fully preteristic?

I'm not sure of the nature of the full-preterist theologies held by some on this board. Perhaps some point-blank questions are in order: 1. Do you view the resurrection and the ascension as basically the same? In other words, when we die, will we 'ascend' (so to speak) into the spiritual state and t...

Re: John Wesley

TK, Yes, Wesley was an extremely rigid individual when it came to schedule. He thought poorly of anyone that slept more than 6 hours a night. He did not give 'more' time to people just b/c they were well off or 'important'. And, as your story shows, was a very early riser for the purpose of prayer. ...

John Wesley

Hey guys and gals :) I've been taking a course on 'Wesleyan Theology' and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought I would share some bullet points from his life and see if there's any questions about him or Wesleyan theology in general. The Life of John Wesley  Born June 17th, 1703  Number 15 of 19 ...

Re: Who are you planning to vote for?

I think that is the best critique of my idea (that we can't know for sure what states are 'in play'). I would agree that we can't be sure that certain states will ALWAYS vote a certain way. I would take it on a election by election basis. But when you have 10 different polling agencies reporting a m...

Re: Who are you planning to vote for?

If this is a close race, voting for a third candidate will draw votes away from the main race and could decide the election. So if you don't vote or if you do vote for a third candidate, you have still indirectly participated in the outcome of the main race. This is more true in a straight up popul...

Re: When is a view fully preteristic?

The resurrection that was promised was certainly thought of in physical terms. But the NT adds a spiritual dimension for the hope of eternal life in the new birth for the living. Israel was to face judgment in the resurrection - a judgment that was to determine whether they enter glory or not. Thos...

Re: When is a view fully preteristic?

Where in the Bible does it define resurrection as being only physical? I know that this mortal body must be shed and we will put on the immortal, but what realy does the Bible tell us about that? All I know for sure is that when I die, I go to be with Christ, forever. And if there is a physical res...

Re: Who are you planning to vote for?

But in the electoral college my vote for Mccain in NY would be useless. He can't get a single electoral vote from NY. If NY were a battleground state, in other words, I would consider voting for McCain as the lesser of 2 evils (so to speak). But since NY is decidedly voting for Obama, I feel it make...
