You know, I feel sorry for you.
When I got saved and when God enlightened his Word to me, I was so happy and contented to be free of romish soteriology, ecclesiology and eschatology.
It truly pains me to see brothers in Christ to be in a roman prison of preterist eschatology.
At least when Paul was physically in a Roman prison, he was spiritually free.
Thank you for reminding me to pray for the preterists in my own congregation.

I don’t think Preterists are Romish. Amillinialism is the eschatology of most catholics. For the record I think all systems have holes. Historic Amillianialism is adequate. The world will continue become more evil; then the second coming of Christ who will judge the quick and the dead. Simple enough for me.
Who writes your material? That’s a good one …
So, before you got saved you were wrapped around the axle of “romish eschatology,” perhaps invented by men. But now you’ve been set free to get wrapped around the axle of a tribulational rapturism eschatology invented by other men.
And that’s a good thing how?
From the frying pan into the fire, as they say.
Chet99 has his pitbulls.
topcat54 has his escatological insecurities to post.
FR is operating on all cylinders.
hey, tc, btw, if you aren’t leaving when Christ meets his saints in the clouds, you can use my Lexus. I won’t be needing it...
Except when quoting Josephus ... lol
“the axle of a tribulational rapturism eschatology invented by other men.”
The Scriptures are very clear.
Sasportas, Quix and others posted many of them last week.
It’s grievous to think that you consider “tribulational rapturism eschatology” to be a manmade system.
“Now, you have to realize that the Scripture really doesn’t mean what it says in that verse....”
An often-quote from my very own preterist pastor ....

Don’t pray to hard, they might starting preaching to you on how your eschatology is wrong, then you eventually won’t be able to take it anymore and then your head will explode from too much good information. < /s>
Just so that you know, Mr. DeMar, in the opening sentences of this article is taking a position that would make a cheapskate blush. If you want to be a preterist by all means don’t let little old me get in your way but DeMar, like many Covenant Theologians writing popular books (ex: Riddlebarger), is basically preaching to the choir, his very own personal choir.
As a general rule, the only theology I defend is my own, but Ice is a very capable theologian and doesn’t need any help finding the straight and narrow from DeMar with his childish augments.
So I ask the question, TC what exactly is the purpose of your thread? Do you think the cleaver Gary DeMar is making fools out of the dispensationalist crowd? Are you trying to impress us with your grasp of the various theological positions? Are you on a crusade to rid the world of pre-mil theology? Is your ministry the effort to prove that you are smarter than the writers of the Left Behind Series?
Of course the only question that really matters is have you confessed your sins and are trusting in the shed blood of Christ as the only way to salvation. But the Bible is clear as to what things will be like when Jesus returns, like for example it says something about the whole world seeing his return when it happens. Prove that Jesus actually returned in AD 70 and then you will have something to brag about.
Have a nice day...
Grevious and shocking.
I still shake my head often that anyone could believe such UNBiblical tripe as the REPLACEMENTARIANS, PRETERISTS et al.
Pharisees have been
TELLING GOD
what
GOD MEANT
for eons.
Christ wasn’t impressed with them, either.

You want to sign the papers now?
You're more than welcome to make substantive comments. [Note the absence of any caucus label.] Or is drive by more your style?
But the Bible is clear as to what things will be like when Jesus returns,
I'm sure you have the details all worked out.
Sounds like futurist hermeneutics. Literal when convenient.
