Wanted to mention that when it says "all Israel shall be saved" it means that, Jews who now are believers in Jesus Christ and his finished work shall be saved. That is the essence of the "new covenant" that the mystery describes, i.e. that the Jews and Gentiles shall be one body IN CHRIST. The old covenant Jews who still await the Messiah are simply missing the boat and in danger of eternal fire. The only covenant Jews now have to make them "God's chosen people" (just like the believing Gentiles now) is belief in Jesus Christ; not their DNA, or traditions, or anything else. I believe this must be explained again, especially since there are many a good bible teacher who still believe that Jews can be saved without Jesus. Here's an AI analysis of "the mystery" : https://www.google.com/search?q=what+evidence+is+there+that+Jesus+knew+about+the+mystery+in+Ephesians+3%3A6+before+his+resurrection%3F&sca_esv=32ae3e4c27749343&sxsrf=AHTn8zq51dsxT4BdYwIkxeU48BRkbW51Rg%3A1741863008663&source=hp&ei=YLjSZ564JoyFw8cPvonu0Qg&iflsig=ACkRmUkAAAAAZ9LGcE73IFgy7bK_4Z9cmsICfkShRdF7&ved=0ahUKEwie6IGv8YaMAxWMwvACHb6EO4oQ4dUDCBo&uact=5&oq=what+evidence+is+there+that+Jesus+knew+about+the+mystery+in+Ephesians+3%3A6+before+his+resurrection%3F&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz

YW... I hope others pipe in with experiences about other softwares too...

Thank you for posting Columbo! Preterism is quite refreshing isn't it? "I'm no longer commited to one viewpoint." Yep, preterism can do that to you... it did to me!

First time on this thread... was great reading some of the oldtimers' posts. Would love it if some of them stop by and say hello sometime. ******************* I never knew and know nothing about this offshoot. Found this page from Dr. John Juedes: http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/spl_hendricks.htm

I have been using Norton 360 and find it good. Best part for me is the telephone support ... if you don't mind them remoting into your computer when there's an issue, they will fix it and did a couple of times for me. I got used to the pop-ups after awhile. Here's a search for you on their products and if it were me I'd start with the cheapest... anti-virus for 19.99 and see if you like it: https://us.norton.com/store?expid=PS-BRANDEDREM&promocode=PS30FRBRREMMU&nortoncountry=us&om_sem_cid=hho_sem_sy:~en-us_nor_n36_sch_btg_brd_nfr_adw_dtp_low~c_kw0000001532&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=15588693109&cq_net=g&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA5pq-BhBuEiwAvkzVZSkvfhjLOySHUC4_C76HxlOEF8vdSdRUCL5wqLLj7apT7h_VoUTPoBoCQF0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I never explored this at all but see it as a general reminder to be prepared for living an eternal life with Jesus and try in the here and now to be loving and kind to all. (as hard as that it at times.)

Now I'm always looking for preterist commentaries. Here is another one, from purportedly a non-preterist who actually refers to preterism as "nutty". But his writing is well taken and I think he does an excellent job of explaining "partial preterism" and "full preterism". I can't speak authoritatively about preterism because I'm still trying to absorb it all. It takes some "visioning". All I know is, it's refreshing to learn about new things like this. https://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-preterism-second-coming-and-hell.html

had no idea thx.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one as I don't understand it but here is a preterist explanation of "RISE". (It took me a long time to believe some of the preterist views) this one is taking me longer... https://www.google.com/search?q=dead+in+Christ+will+rise+first+preterist+view&sca_esv=5d5dc4b0a4716fb1&sxsrf=AHTn8zrZ4LMBgoHb-QAzUjFVYR9eJEXNVw%3A1740442538767&source=hp&ei=qgu9Z_fZLKyv5NoPrPCN8Aw&iflsig=ACkRmUkAAAAAZ70ZutvU5p4uv40zThIflar2qh5G3-Gp&ved=0ahUKEwj31pfaxd2LAxWsF1kFHSx4A84Q4dUDCBo&uact=5&oq=dead+in+Christ+will+rise+first+preterist+view&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz

Thought I would place this video here since it relates a bit. God made a covenant with the tribe of Judah to bring forth the Messiah. (Gen. 49:10). But as it turned out, there had been all along peoples hanging around Judah with mixed blood which would have ruined the whole thing, since we know from the scriptures that the covenant was with Judah only. So here's a biblical researcher who I think has done a good job explaining what he calls the true Judah vs. the false Judah. Please feel free to comment: agree/disagree ...

Part of the process is to learn other viewpoints, and that takes some time. Remember in PFAL VPW dissuaded us from reading commentaries; but how the heck can we know what else is out there? I'd like to review everything now...

For a preterist view of the 7 plagues and related, here is one commentary: https://www.revelationrevolution.org/revelation-16-a-preterist-commentary/

Departing from TWI brain and exploring other concepts has been refreshing for me; here's one to watch:

I'm not a follower of Jay Rogers per se but thought he did a good job of explaining the Preterist view:
