Just an example of connotation and denotation, and “both/and” aspects of metaphorical ranges. The Bible talks about literal trees, and can use that denotation to speak of metaphorical trees. Like Jason said, […]
Nobody denies this. What’s your point?
Very helpful, Ken!
One of us needs to take this approach to “Preterism 101″ scriptures on PretCosmos and consider the context of each. I really need that one. I plan on working on them specifically as I go. […]
Here is Ken Palmer’s take on this issue….good read http://www.historicalpreterism.com/2012/02/18/certainly-sure-and-sometimes-near/

eh? Looks ok now.
Michael you say, “I am going to stick with the Scriptures.” OK, good. But you quoted this, “I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you hav seen of me and what I will show […]
Mike, you wrote that Jesus could now appear through doors and levitate. Last I checked, he was doing such things BEFORE he was raised. He walked on water. Transfigured in “light” (as Paul saw him, too); […]
What Jesus raised bodily, simple question. Of course, we read of Christ appearing to Mary, the apostles, and he tells Thomas to put his fingers in the holes. He also goes through locked doors and levitates, so […]
