>>>Wait? The SECOND COMING OF CHRIST was in 70AD???
wow ... we’re way beyond mere theological error here.<<<
You dismissed my first response to your outrageous claim, as if a reply would be somehow beneath you. That kind of response generally means one has no answers, only opinions.
When you show me my theological error—in the scriptures—then we can have further debate.

I hinted at one already. The second coming of Christ is a global event ... every eye will see Him ... point me to any historical source which describes the second coming of Christ as occurring in 70 AD.
There would have to be at least three things in any citation:
1. Recognition of the visible Christ coming in the clouds of heaven. (Rev 19, Matt 24, Acts 1). The best sources would be from outside Jerusalem as these would verify that the second coming was indeed a global event.
2. Recollection of the killing of all the kings of the earth who arrayed themselves against Christ (Rev 19)
3. Witness to the casting of the beast and false prophet into the lake of fire (Rev 19).
4. Repentance of the nation of Israel. (Rev 1, Matt 23, Zech 12) This event still hasn't happened.
Further, the vision in Daniel 2 shows that the kingdom of God will not co-exist with any earthly kingdoms (wind blew away the dust, then the stone became a mountain). Since there is at least one nation on earth that still calls itself a kingdom, this "church age" that you object to is NOT the kingdom of God.
And if this present age IS the kingdom of God ... I am sorely disappointed. I see no righteous king ruling over the earth. I see corrupt nations under the control of the god of this age, which would certainly be in contradiction to Rev 20:1-3.
I'll let you search for that citation ...
