But, really, in talking about that, you have to keep in mind that the Bible *only* talks to three distinct groups of people, the Jews, the Gentiles and the Church. Jesus was talking to his brethren, the Jews. They will see it. The Church will not (and, of course, the "Church" refers to the body of believers and not to manmade "organizations").

Again, you're guilty of eisegesis and faulty logic. The sad thing is you don't even realize it.

You said -- "Again, you're guilty of eisegesis and faulty logic. The sad thing is you don't even realize it."

Well, I hope you do know that your preterist position is such a small and insignificant part of Christian scholarship (i.e., "non-scholarhsip) that most don't even bother mentioning it. It's hardly worth the effort.

I wouldn't have mentioned it because it causes most people to walk away from it scratching their heads, wondering how people can twist Jesus' words so much. But, you do bring it up, so I answered a few points for you, in the above posts.
