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...

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.
The big problem in doing that with the hyper Arminianist, and hyper pessimillinnialist is that they never have a good set of rules in interpreting the Bible and Historical documents. For instant they will claim we believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible and practically swear by it. They reality is they will ignore figures of Speech like Metaphors, Simile, Personification etc. or figures of thought like Parable, Allegory, etc. and throw those uses of English out the door with the baby and come up with some twisted interruption, but the irony is they sneak them back into their interpretation of the Bible when it is convenient for them for their argument and then they will swear up and down that they believe only in the literary interruption of the Bible. It is like they speak and think in forked tongue. They will not admit there is other interruptions of the Bible out side of Literal interruptional thinking, and if you could get them to admit there is other interruptional uses of english they would resort to some argument like they didn't use those methods of speech back then. I sometimes question whether it is wise to even debate or engage in conversation the hyper Arminianist, and hyper pessimillinnialist, because God instructs us not to teach wisdom to fools, but I still occasionally will throw my two cents in on FR in hopes that some nonfool freeper comes by and learns something out of it, and I also hope some good Freepers do the same for me, as I have learned a lot on FR and I'm sure I will continue to learn a lot more as time goes by. Well I've got to get off of FR this morning cause I've got a hard day of work ahead of me and probably won't get back to this thread to study it or respond to it, I'm just doing my usual drive by posting for the day I hope it doesn't offend anyone.
