The Creed was crafted very carefully as taken from the standard Doctrines passed down through the Teachers of the Church, from the 1st to the early 4th century and which agrees with Holy Scripture...we can see this is true easy enough by reading all the early Church teachers, both from the East and West, and comparing what they teach with Holy Scripture.
If there is even a hint of this teaching that Christ Returned in 70 A.D. and that He will not Return in the future, written by them or taught by any Church father from the 1st-4th century... I would like to see it.
Where is the record of early Christians who tell us that the Lord's second coming or return took place in 70 A.D. ?
And were did you recieve this teaching from? A teacher from the Othodox Church you attend? or some other Church teachers you have heard teach? I know this idea is taught in some Protestant groups here in America...and the internet has it taught on various sites. The idea really genders far more questions that it answers. And the answers always subject the Scriptures to an alegorical interpretation, where it is very easy to come up with a number of conclusions.
I wonder if you even believe that Christ has a glorified Physical Body, the same one He was crucified in, and rose from the grave in, and ascended to Heaven in? The same one that He told the Apostle Thomas to put his fingers into the holes in his hands and side...and the same he ate fish in. It was indeed very physical...yet glorifed. And we will also be once again in this Physical body, yet changed/glorified, after the Resurrection on the Last Day, when Christ Returns.
It will be a glorious time indeed!!!
