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.

You said so before. Trust the LORD. Our Saviour will not lose one he intends to have.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

How is the Gospel being undermined by believing God's will will ultimately be accomplished, and that the word of God and the Holy Spirit change lives for the better (and thus change families for the better)?

You often bring up the suicide of young people as evidence for parental neglect, and I agree with you 100%.

Christians should be ever mindful that Satan is real and tries his best to beguile every man.

And every man should be aware that Christ will always provide a life-preserver to those who ask for it...

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." -- 1 Corinthians 10:13

I love this verse, not only for its assurance, but for the fact it tells us the allure of Satan is "common to man." It's the human condition.

But God has mercifully given us the two-edged sword of His word which proclaims Christ as king and savior, and promised us the covert of His wings.

"The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." -- Psalm 18:2

And as my family and I prosper by this understanding, so does anyone who has been so graced.
