And it isn't whether or not I say so; it's what the scripture itself says.
Have you ever blown up a balloon? The balloon is completely filled with air, and yet it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger...
***Well, the scripture says of the increase of peace there will be no end. So, if there is total peace, how can it increase?
And it isn't whether or not I say so; it's what the scripture itself says.***
Well, I'm not asserting that there is total peace now, whatever that means. I'm asserting exactly what the Bible states in that Christ rules and reigns in the midst of his enemies. He will do so until the last enemy is put under his feet, which is death. (Psalms, 2, 110, 1 Co 15) Since I still observe that there is death, it is quite obvious that Christ's reign and subjection of his enemies is not yet complete, even if the full Preterist has some kind of wild and zany explaination of how death is some kind of metaphorical representation of something else.
