THE PAROUSIA

[zlarry123]

Greetings

Before Max King's book mentioned in the attention-grabbing audio in the New Topic by Wenglund, "Creation and Garden Story: Instructional Value?" was another author James Stuart Russell 1878 who penned "THE PAROUSIA" on the same subject matter. These books changed the way many Christian in our day view the New Testament, including myself. 

The author of "The Parousia" is no relationship to Charles Taze Russell the founder of the Jehovah Witnesses. The books, The books on the subject matter places most if not all prophecy fulfilled in the first century, completely opposite to the popular futuristic theology we hear about today. Many futurist and partial preterist deem the full preterist view as heretic, mainly because it leaves out a future second coming of Christ. Which even the Mormons believe is a futuristic concept of His coming.

Because according to the full preterist view the second coming  happened in the first century of the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Roman armies Jesus  mentioned in the Olivet Discourse.

The Parousia is on line to read if anyone cares to do so.

Larry, for your FYI, there are a number of different sub-forums on MormonHub.  You placed this thread on the "LDS Gospel Discussion " sub-forum, which is not a good place for it ("The Parousia" goes against LDS Gospel theology).  A far better location to discuss the beliefs of the larger Christian umbrella is the "Christian Beliefs" sub-forum, which exists for that purpose.

Maybe a moderator can move this thread - lots of forum software allow you to do that without needing to recreate the separate posts.
