Just because Justin Martyr didn’t mention it doesn’t mean he didn’t hold the viewpoint.

How would you know he held that viewpoint, or how could you claim he held that viewpoint, is he never mentioned it?

It is just a likely that Justin Martyr believed that it was such an obvious point that it didn’t need to be stated.

That’s not an argument, it just presumption.

What I find interesting that the first person to outspokenly argue against a premillenial position was the heretic Marcion.

And one of the first to argue for the premil view the heretical sect of the Ebionites, and Cerinthus, who was a Gnostic, that even before Marcion. That’s called guilt by association, BTW.

And your position that he didn’t hold a viewpoint is mere presumption as well. I can just as easily draw one conclusion as another.

Again, I’m not debating the merits of either position. What I take issue with is calling out believers for holding different viewpoints. I see from you tag line that you have a distinct fascination with proving the dispensational position wrong. Sir...might I suggest that your focus would be better served winning souls for Christ rather than trying to disprove that which is not fundamental? I exhort you again with 2 Timothy: “But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels”.
