All doctrines have consequences, even the doctrine of Christ. Whatever consequences truth brings are gladly accepted by those who believe and obey the truth. The 'A.D. 70' doctrine is still in the process of 'bottoming out'. Consequences that some may have refused to accept in the beginning are embraced eagerly as time passes. This is the way of any sinful endeavor. Since the doctrine itself is in a state of flux, it makes writing about it difficult. Here are some of the consequences of 'A.D. 70' doctrine that come to my mind.

According to 1 Cor. 11:26, we are commanded to partake of the Lord's Supper till He comes. We have NO AUTHORITY to partake of the Lord's Supper past His second coming. Some that are caught up in this doctrine have 'changed the meaning ' of the Supper. Others have now given it up ENTIRELY AS NON ESSENTIAL!

Some involved in this doctrine teach that the plan of salvation was not 'complete' until A.D. 70. Others have taken it to its logical end and now have pronounced the plan of salvation as 'consummated'. Water baptism for the remission of sins is NO LONGER BINDING for them. They call it a 'fleshly ordinance'. Those on the 'cutting edge' of this doctrine now say that the kingdom must be entered only by 'spiritual means' today. In other words, brethren, 'faith only' is a most 'wholesome' doctrine to them.

Some teach that the Reign of Christ actually began when Jerusalem fell and not at Pentecost. Others go all the way and teach that Christ is NO LONGER ON HIS THRONE. They say that He is literally among us now on earth. If Christ is no longer on His Throne then He is no longer our King or High Priest. {Heb. 8:1-4} {1 Cor. 15:24}. According to the prophecy of Zech. 13:6 concerning the righteous Branch, Christ would sit and rule as King and Priest. When He quits sitting, He quits ruling. {1 Cor. 15:25} Is there no longer a need for a Mediator between God and man? Should we approach the throne of Grace if Christ is no longer on it?

If the Great Commission has been 'consummated', then where is the gospel given for this 'eternal age'?

According to A.D. 70 doctrine, the resurrection of 1 Corinthians 15 is a FIGURATIVE one, of the kingdom of Christ rising out of Judaism. Since Christ is the firstfruits of this resurrection, how do we prove that He was LITERALLY RAISED FROM THE DEAD?
