I like how the writer draws a paralell between the destruction of Jersusalem and the end of the world. Peace & Health, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that this is one of the most compelling arguments of the Olivet Discourse I have ever read. In response, on a non-Christian forum, I belong, one particular person referred to it as *and I quote* "one of the most absurd pieces of apologetic trash I have ever read." It's times like this I sit and wonder and think whether Jesus quoting Isaiah in saying "they are ever hearing but never understanding, ever seeing but never perceiving" does not only apply to parables (as the discourse suggests in the passage), but to all non-Christians who have hardened their hearts. Oh, I agree this isn't the only interpretation of the Olivet Prophecy. It's quite a difficult topic. But when non-believers are so easily blinded as to not even see a hint of the Truth coming out, I wonder if Isaiah refers to them as well as to Jesus' references to parables.

Very interesting artilce. Has anyone responded to Rufus' questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
