Brother, if you don't care I will PM you later. I see no point continuing this argument with people who feel the way they do here.

Do you feel or believe that East Jerusalem is part of Israeli or is it Palestinian land that is occupied by Israel since 1967?
Do you believe Israel's sovereignty over East Jerusalem is recognized under international law?
Do you believe settling Israeli civilians in occupied land is a war crime?
Do you think the Jerusalem District Court has the right to evict Palestinians out of their homes in occupied land?
I see you marking anything that talks about displacing Palestinians with a red X, so I am genuinely curious what your thoughts are.
Sure.Brother, if you don't care I will PM you later. I see no point continuing this argument with people who feel the way they do here.
He looks for things which support his antisemetism
They certainly have a right to self defense. My only arguement is. Where do you cross over from self defense into wanton destruction?Many are, they're having big demonstrations all over the world claiming they don't.... and sadly some claiming to be Christians are in agreement with the claim Israel has no right to defend themselves.
In order to prove preterism there has to be a guilty party that worshiped the image,received the mark the AOD ect.ect. prior to the siege in ad70, that is all these need be fulfilled prior to the destruction of the Temple in ad70. The issue is that the Jews revolted against Caesar and Rome which is the opposite of worshiping Caesar or Rome as God(=first,second and third Jewish revolt)... After one taking the position that the Jews of the first century were the guilty party who fulfilled these Scriptures without proof then requires maintenance which leads to antisemitism and Holocaust denial...one is the product of the other.

Absolutely not true, it does not lead to anti-semitism, it does take away racism which is the by product when one group has more rights than another.
Jerusalem is Babylon not Rome.
Not all revolted if you read the history, there was a faction who revolted.

A better place to start is to forget all that you have been taught and go back to scripture and let it say what it says.That's the point in what I'm saying, that is in full preterism we are told that they see all of these prophecies being fulfilled by ad70. So I thought "okay I'll entertain the idea" and began asking where and when they saw these things being fulfilled prior to ad70. Many preterist told me that I should read the writings of Josephus and that afterwards I would understand who took the mark and worshiped it's image because they always implied it was the Jews.
Now so after reading Josephus writings something else happened in that instead of seeing undeniable proof that the Jews had in fact worshiped the Caesars of Rome as God and worshiped it's image I found that in fact they did the exact opposite they revolted(revolt does not mean worship). It is easy to see after reading Wars 2 that the reason that the Jews revolted against Rome and it's Caesars was because they wanted them to place their images in the Jewish synagogues,Temple ect. and to offer sacrifices to Caesar. Now I'm not sure if you have ever read Wars 2 or if you have just taken the opinions of others on this so I'll provide you with it so you can read it yourself.
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/josephus/war-2.html and as for them buying and selling with the money of Rome the Jews minted their own coins because they had issue with the pagan images on Romes coins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish_Revolt_coinage So then the Jews involved in the first Jewish revolt and the siege of Jerusalem if fact did not fulfill what is in Revelation 13:11-18 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/13.htm That is though unless you have an idea how or who it was that fulfilled these things prior to ad70 I have ask preterist over and over for years about this and so far no one will answer the question.
A better place to start is to forget all that you have been taught and go back to scripture and let it say what it says.
Let scripture define the time and the meaning of what the imagery portrays. The book of Revelation is an incredible book.
Btw...who exactly was being worshipped by 1st century Jews in the temple after the resurrection?
You say this but every time in the past when I ask you who received the mark and worshiped the image in Revelation 13 you never explain who it was prior to ad70 that did it. To me it would be fairly simple for someone who had been taught in preterism to explain who it was they were told. Again would it not put an end to the confusion if someone that was preterit was to just say outright who it was that received the beast mark and worshiped it's image?
So what do you make of all that?Indeed the Scriptures that is in Revelation 17 the angel explains to John that five were,one is ect. afterwards he told John that at that time the seventh was still coming but would only last a short while, Then he tells him of an eighth head that would also come and that the ten kings had received no kingdom as yet. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/17.htm
So the angel explained to John a place marker in time where they were at in the beast that were to hold rule over the earth(and the Jews). That is that of the nations(beast) that were to rule them they were in the times of the sixth head(one is) and so the others were to rise and rule afterwards in time.
In Romans 13 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/romans/13.htm Paul tells them that they were to see the authorities over them(Rome at that time) as ordained by God. Again in Ephesians 6:5-9 and 1Peter 2:18-20 they said to the Christians obey those masters. On the other hand it seems that not only did the Jews not understand Jesus is the Messiah they also did not see to accomplish the servitude they were told they would accomplish under the four beast in Daniel. They suffered through Assyria and Babylon, then Persia and Greece but when it came to Rome the fourth beast they revolted(1st Jewish revolt) and tried to cast off that rule that was allocated by God. They did not understand to obey those authorities as ordained by God as the Christians did and that they were in the times of the sixth head and that there were an seventh,an eighth,ten kings and a little horn yet to come.
You are looking at this from a verry narrow point of view.this does not negate they were attached and have a right to defend themselves
Well they were and God keeps His promise.
The church that God is building.What does a baptist "convert" to?
