Thank you so much for sharing your insights, testimony and those beautiful Scriptures!

But how am I standing in front of an oncoming train? I can understand if one says an unbeliever is standing in front of a train, but what train is going to run me over? All the evils of this world? Hardly. I am protected by the Holy Spirit. Like Christ, I may be bruised, but I cannot be broken.

The oncoming train is the wrath of God which will be poured out on all mankind. (Rev 6 et al)

We Christians are exempt from the wrath of God because of the blood of Christ. We are already dead to this world and alive with Christ in God! (Col 3:3)

If any of my brothers and sisters in Christ do not see the wrath of God coming they may be surprised but not destroyed.

The operative part is whether they do or do not see Christ coming. (Parable of the Ten Virgins)

I do not fear the train either.

BTW, I like the metaphor of being on the train!

Maranatha, Jesus!!!

The intensity, my intensity . . .

is not per se over ‘damage’ to authentic Believers hidden in Christ.

it is about folks who do not know The Lord hindered, prevented from Knowing Him

unnecessarily

because of the Preterist . . . perspective.

I understand that Predestination is Biblical . . . to a point.

I do not share the seeming absolute Calvinist position by a long shot. Not even sure I go as far as A-G does. I think there’s deliberate mystery there.

I’m convinced that we have choices and that the choices are real choices and make a difference in people’s lives as well as our own.

Some of those differences make the difference between Heaven and Hell for folks . . .

Parental choices result in teen suicides.

At least some suicides, if not most, end up needlessly in hell because of parental choices.

Preterism and it’s deception about END TIMES prophecies prevents many thousands if not millions from entering The Kingdom of God who would otherwise wake up and

JOIN THE FAMILY.

THAT’S the train I face every time I see a Replacementarian post or thread.

That’s MY reality.
