The Authority of the Bible, Preterism and Creeds
Authority of the Bible">Does the view one has of the authority of the Bible affect one's view of eschatology?
Perhaps.
Our view of everything affects the outcomes or how we view certain things. Take for example, this experience I had with my dentist. My former dentist performed a root canal but did not fully deaden the nerve in my tooth. At the surface all seemed well. But, when she got to the root of the tool, the drill became like a air hammer in my mouth. We had to have a time out. That experience ...

Is There Life After Death?
Is there life after death? With today's world of skepticism, one might think that this question is irrelevant.

What is the end of the age in Matthew 28:20? Does this mean Jesus
is no longer with us after the events of 70AD?

that Matthew 28:20, is a reference to the end of the planet versus the
end of the Jewish age. In all 5 occurrences where this phrase is found,
it means the end of the Jewish age.
First, we will cite the texts, make a comment or two, then expose the
illogical implication behind the question.
The phrase "sunteleia tou aionos" occurs 5 times in the N.T. Matt. 13:39, 40,
24:3, 28:20 and Heb. ...
