Hi Bernie,
I'd be happy not to rehash the debate - but I'm not happy to allow the following misrepresentation of my position to go without challenge;

Let me say without any ambiguity that throughout the debate on this subject I affirmed BOTH of the above AND that I continue to do so.
And, to set the record straight, let me say that I continue to do so. I AFFIRM that the NT writers were convinced of an imminent return of Jesus, and I AFFIRM that "imminent" means "ready to take place/hanging over one's head" (as per the dictionary definition that Bernie himself gave).
Sorry if that leaves you with a lingering confusion, Bernie - but there you are.
Blessings,
Murray
