Nope. Our sins were laid to His account. The reason we know this to be true is because He died. The wages of sin is death. Since Jesus never sinned, He could not have died if our sins had not been imputed to Him.

Also, good to see you posting again. Hope you are well.

I get your point, but there is plenty of evidence in the book of Revelation to confirm the dating before 70AD. I was just pointing out one.

What job were you interviewing for?

Sure, but as I pointed out earlier, 3 times in the first chapter of Revelation there is reference to coming events being imminent. So, regardless of how one dates the book, there would need be imminent events that follow. If the book was written in 65 AD, the events of 70 AD would qualify as...

So you agree it was a time of the expansion of knowledge?

The kingdom of God came definitively with Christ. It has been coming progressively since. And it will come consumatively when Christ returns. This is what history is building towards.

You don't actually understand what the book of Revelation is about. When I have time, I'll break it down for you. But in the meantime, what is the book of Deuteronomy about? If you don't understand the book of Deuteronomy, you will never understand the book of Revelation.

That's not what those chapters teach exactly, but you are on the right path. God's kingdom was established in the 1st century definitely with the coming of Messiah. He said so...the kingdom is at hand. And it did begin in Jerusalem with the early church. But you are looking for a literal...

The books in the Bible are written to specific audiences. They have real meaning to those to whom they were written unless otherwise stated. One should assume their message is for the audience they were written to. That said, every generation can make applications from the scripture, but to...

That's your evidence? Actually knowledge did increase. Much greater understanding came with the teachings of Jesus and the disciples. Much more of God's redemptive plans were made known. You still haven't given any support for anything being imminent and coming to pass circa 95 AD.

Daniel was told to seal the words of the book; John is told to publish them. Same subject for both. One was future; the other was saying it's here.

And that's what the book of Revelation is concerned with? Or is it dealing with the end of a covenant, meting out consequences for a failure to keep the covenant, and pointing the way forward, perhaps?

The book of Revelation concerns itself with something being imminent. Three times in the first chapter this is made clear: 1:1...must shortly come to pass... 1:3...the time is at hand... 1:7...they also which pierced Him... This is where the case for 65 AD comes from. What event was imminent...

What happened shortly after 65 AD? What happened shortly after 95 AD?

Relax Francis. It was just a joke.

So simple even some Democrats understand it.

Your basic understanding of imputation is flawed. You are conflating imputation to ascription. We can ascribe to God things that are true of Him, and even falsely ascribe things to Him. We cannot, however, impute things to Him. For example, we can ascribe holiness to God, but we cannot confer...

To be sure there is much our finite minds cannot understand as God understands. But God often gives us insight into His wisdom, as your examples testify. I do believe in glory we will be given greater insight into the wisdom of God, and we will see how perfectly God has done all that He has...

Think of all the souls God will create and save as He tarries. And one day, in glory, you will see the wisdom of God in this and worship Him for it.
