>>>Philip, someone raised a valid point. If no one believes as you do then that is a very good indicator you are in error.<<<
Everything is possible. But, there is also a bright side: there is no such thing as a cult of one. LOL!.
I assume you do not read a lot of commentaries. Those fellows are all over the place.
>>>Interesting synopsis of Kenneth Gentry which explains where he and the other preterists came from. “A number of other reconstructionists were also students at Reformed Seminary during this time and they also became advocates of postmillennial preterism under Dr. Bahnsen’s tutelage. They include: Gary DeMar, the late David Chilton, and James Jordan.” Developer of a new postmillennial preterism<<<
I have read some of Gary Demar’s articles. I am familiar with Bahnsen’s name, but I don’t recall reading anything by him: maybe a footnote or two: I don’t recall. I don’t believe I have heard of James Jordan.
Understand: I had heard of virtually no one in this realm until last summer. I didn’t even know what a Scofield Bible was. The first book I read in the commentary/research area was by Philip Mauro (cause I liked the name -:)

Yet you liberally post your doctrine (or as a proxy for Gentry and other preterists, et al.) so you wouldn't be a cult of one if you made disciples. You teach that the Day of the LORD and the resurrection of the saints has already come and gone. The Apostle Paul wrote about that to Timothy in two different sections. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
