There needs to be a preterist addendum or comment to that article. That website accepts essays from visitors, maybe that is the route that could be taken. www.religioustolerance.org/vis_essay.htmThat list of failed predictions might cast doubt on Christianity as a whole to seekers who may read articles at that site. Before I became a Christian, that was one of the websites that I used to learn about Christianity. Perhaps an essay could be written, with a reference to the failed predictions page, explaining that not all Christians believe that the Second Coming is in the future, nor that the "end of the world" means destruction of the planet. |

My initial feeling when I started reading it was that it may have been written by a Jew. In one short paragraph ("About 30 CE"), we have "Jeshua of Nazareth (Jesus Christ)", "Jesus," and "Yeshua." At the bottom of the article, it says "Compiled by B.A. Robinson," so apparently it is the writings of several different authors.

Yeah, but now we need a volunteer to write the essay. I'd be happy to proofread/edit, if someone else were to write it. Or we could write it by committee ... hehe ... and draft it up right here in the forum with everyone participating.

Good afternoon. About a week or so ago I heard some guy on the radio being interviewed about his study on Eclipses happening on some of the feast days. In his entire interview he pretty much predicted the return within those days since "Jesus didn't fulfill them yet." I looked his name up and was taken to this site and found it. www.triumphpro.com/blood-red-lunar-eclipses-and-solar-eclipses.htmNow it's gonna happen in 2014-2015. |

Hi Steve, The 9th of Av is another popular date. I think there is some truth in the thinking that God determined things to happen on significant biblical historical events and God had placed Israel under a different calendar then the rest of the world. The Jewish calendar is determined by the phases of the moon and its 28.334 day cycle. But now those things have been completed. Incidentally, there is a fascinating study on the feast of Israel and the time of development a fetus goes through. I'll dig it out and give it if anybody is interested. |

Will do - I'll start looking for it. I found it on my old computer. I'll need to rewrite it a little since it was based on my old understanding concerning the feasts. The main points remain eternal and I think it may enhance your faith. I'll start working on it this week. |

I started its own thread at livebytr.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=evangelism&thread=418Maybe if I have the time I will talk about the Seven Feasts of Israel individually. Most of you probably already understand them since there is currently a preterist teaching on them. |
