Then neither is the tree of life in the book of Revelation which represents Jesus Christ. Just like the tree of life which is a domestic olive tree all must be grafted back into it again if they were broken off, and the wild olive tree branches must be grafted in with the domestic.

Oh, and Sean, no one cares anymore when you moan about other posters, because you have done your lion share of garbage. So, shut up, and post like a man. Instead of a weasel.

Re: Changing To Preterism from Rapture Doctrine

Matthew 7:15-20

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Luke 13:6-9

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Mark 11:12-14

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Sean, all these verses about trees, do they also have symbolic meanings? If your answer is yes, what are those meanings?

I thought you believe the Tree of Life in Rev. is not a tree at all, but the saints! Now you say it is not a tree at all, but it represents Jesus. Is this a new metaphor I should know about? I am eager to learn!

They are speaking of false teachers like preterists that will be judged

Benincasa, is this tree an actual tree or is it people?


This is the first time I have seen any preterist change the re-interpretation from the Tree of Life being the saints, to the Tree of life being Jesus.(Benincasa)

They will do anything they can to keep this actual Tree out of heaven

Okayyyyy...


7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of JESUS, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.


2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there JESUS, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of JESUS were for the healing of the nations.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to JESUS, and may enter in through the gates into the city.


Well Benincasa, you made another mess.

Why dont you just let Jesus have His Tree in heaven(paradise) like He said?

Who is the Body of Christ in 1st Corinthians 12? Sean are you still Trinitarian?

Also you believe that the tree which was cared for by the gardener is a false prophet? Sean this must be the most you have ever dealt with eschatology in your life.

So here we go, we are back to the original question Sean. Do resurrected saints need to be healed while they are in heaven?
