And one more thing….
- Unite and Conquer – despite my opposition to their particular eschatologies, any non-preterists who affirm orthodox eschatology are my brethren. Sometimes in our fallen state other things get in the way of showing this unity, but no matter our own failings, we are ineffably bound together in Christ. To attempt to partner with heretics to attack secondary doctrines of other brethren can obscure, but cannot sever, that bond. However it is disobedience. What fellowship hath darkness with light? If we are so zealous with our particular point of view that we would rather a brother or sister embrace heresy or abandon the faith because they have different eschatological positions than us, there is something out of whack. If you are a futurist, and anything I am saying is disturbing to you in a way that is causing doubt or heresy to arise in your heart – don’t listen. There is a time and season for everything. Now is not your season for this issue. I would rather all of Christendom become non-preterist than for one of the brethren to embrace hyperpreterism or abandon the faith altogether. Zeal can be a four-letter word.
Toodles. Did I mention that I love my Macs?
Yeah, I want to reiterate that I didn’t intend to make it sound like you believed Gary is a hyper. I simply wanted Gary to respond to your points on the podcasts. Sometimes my thoughts come out all jumbled when I am writing. You have my sincere apologies.
Yeah I know Rhett. I hope you saw that I was putting you forth as something rare on the Internet – quick clarification of misunderstandings. Sometimes people saw the darnedest things and someone else finds it on a google such and all of a sudden its true.
I caught that.
Over the holiday weekend I thought of a book I’d like to see in print someday:
The Second Advent of Christ Defined and Defended by Gary DeMar.
