Episcopius

Buddy the Mouse is a fictional character that I featured in many threads on this board in the past. He is Partial Preterist - so I guess also Partial Futurist

Daniel’s 70th week has already happened. Buddy’s eschatology is a form of Partial Preterism, which really amounts to “some but not all” of things foretold has already occurred. A main point of Buddy’s eschatology is his asking “what is the justification of allowing a “gap” in the prophecy of Daniel’s 70 weeks” A comparable time period of Israelites being in Egypt - about 430 years -all RAN CONCURRENTLY and is over. So too Buddy claims Daniel’s 70 shauvim ran concurrently - from about 444 BC until the stoning of Stephen. Buddy does not teach openly on this. But he appears from time to time preaching the Buddyistic form of eschatology which handles the question of “parousia delay” ( parousia has come ). The return of Christ is anytime and signless - as in the days of Noah - just as Jesus said. Anytime, imminent and signless and no one will go through all the cities of Israel until the Son of Man be come.

I have heard of 54 AD as a date for 1st Thess Earliest in New Testament if true

The 12 sons of Jacob came from four women - Rachel and Leah and their two maidservants… David had perhaps 7 or 8 wives - it seems one was Michal’s sister. I think it is difficult to compare our situations today with Jacob and David.

Why are Christians supposed to CARE what Christ-rejecting rabbis think about Isaiah 53?

De gustibus non disputandum est in matters of taste there can be no disputing but I don’t do anchovies and pineapple on pizza thin crust pizza - hamburger or sausage - both black and green olives… jalapeños …

I like thin-crust pizza.

The repentant thief did indeed appear THAT DAY in paradise with Christ who took the OT righteous from Abraham’s Bosom to Heaven. Christ was not just talking smack to the thief - He meant what He said. All you Ellen White worshippers - why doncha just stop tryin’ to convince me my Mom and Dad are “asleep”? This ate-up Soul Sleep nonsense makes me feel like vomiting.

Aint no such thing as SOUL SLEEP Samuel is portrayed as conscious after he was called up - it was WRONG for Saul to have him called up-but it was REAL that he was indeed called up - conscious - and predicted the very-soon death of Saul and his son. The souls under the altar in Revelation can speak and be spoken to. Paul contrasts being alive on earth with “being present with the Lord” Whether one class Luke 16 as a parable or not doesnt matter - Jesus would not present the after-death state in a false context Abraham, beggar Lazarus, rich man - are portrayed as CONSCIOUS AFTER DEATH CONSCIOUS!!! This blows this SDA tripe of Soul Sleep outta the water Samuel conscious well after death. Souls in Revelation conscious well after death. Paul contrasting being alive on earth with being PRESENT WITH THE LORD (and not just sleeping beside Him either) Soul Sleep - Bah! A myth!
