And thanks again for your thoughts as well. When you say, “The problem is that not all of “these things”occurred in 70 Ad,” I’m sure you see the problem:
Pastor Bill: “NOT ALL OF THESE THINGS occurred in 70 AD”
Jesus: “Verily (truly) I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till ALL THESE THINGS be accomplished.”
So even tho Jesus said this was a true statement, you’re saying that it wasn’t true. It didn’t happen.
PastorBill vs. Jesus is bad enough, but also, Jesus prophesied that all the things he discussed from Mt. 23.36 through 24.33 would be fulfilled in his generation. If that prophecy wasn’t fulfilled, then Jesus was a false prophet according to Dt. 18.20-22, and deserved to be put to death!
Doesn’t your assertion that all of Mt. 24 wasn’t fulfilled in Jesus’ generation justify Christ’s execution?
Thanks again for the discussion.
This generation refers to the parable of the fig tree,the generation which sees the fig tree come back to life, will not pass away until all these things be fulifilled
