Dangers of Preterism: WHAT A LAUGH!
As I began listening to this podcast I couldn't help but see quite clearly that you don't understand what your even trying to refute. You state your 5 reasons or dangers. But never use the Scripture to refute anything. You just stated lame arguements about what you THINK Preterists believe and say they are bad. You constantly misinterpret what (Full) Preterists believe. I would like to see you debate in open forum an Actual Preterist, who would show your Ignorance concerning Preterism. Not to mention, all the things (too numerous to state here) that are either down right lies or something you made up. Or even worse something you read or heard from another author or speaker and just repeated their nonsense because it sounded good to you. The Preterist understanding is not for anyone who wants it easy or is looking for a "bed of roses." Preterists are among the most studious because we are looking to understand Scripture from the Scripture. As for your saying that "Preterists believe they already have the Resurrection" is a true statement, but misleading. I will end with this from 1 Cor. 15, and you decide for yourselves what it means. In 1 Cor. 15 Paul uses the Present Passive Indicative (PPI) right where, if your a futurist, makes no sense. I will give the literal rendering . 1Cor 15: 15,16 "...He raised Christ, whom he did not raise, if in fact the DEAD ARE NOT (PPI) "BEING" RAISED. 16And if the DEAD ARE NOT (PPI) "BEING" RAISED, not even Christ has been raised." edit: Futurists say that the dead "will not be raised till the Final Day or sometime in the future, if that is so they disagree with Paul, and thus ,by Paul's logical inference, Futurists are saying 'Christ has not been raised." 1Cor 15:29 "If the DEAD ARE NOT (PPI) "BEING" RAISED, why then are they (PPI) "BEING" baptized for them?" 1Cor 15:32 "If the DEAD ARE NOT (PPI) "BEING" RAISED, Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die." 1Cor 15:35 "But someone will say, "How are the DEAD (PPI) "BEING" RAISED? And with what kind of body are they (PPI) "COMING?" 1Cor 15:42-44 "42So also is the Resurrection of the dead. It is (PPI) "BEING SOWN in corruption, it is (PPI) "BEING" raised in incorruption; 43 It is (PPI) "BEING" sown in dishonor, it is (PPI) "BEING" raised in glory: It is (PPI) "BEING" sown in weakness, it is (PPI) "BEING" raised in power; 44 It is (PPI) "BEING" sown a natural body, it is (PPI) "BEING" raised a spiritual body." As I said, decide for yourself what this means and BY ALL MEANS CHECK THE GREEK! This is nothing more than Greek 101, yet all modern translations, except Young's Literal Translation, do not translate the impact of the Present Passive Indicative. But if your the Futurist who can't possibly be wrong! Go ahead, explain into oblivion the PPI and its significance. But if your honest with yourself and the Scripture then your understand something just ins't right with Futurist Theology/Eschatology. I have no doubts that many Preterists believe things that aren't true, but we are all, as Disciples of Christ (more meaning intended than most will get), seeking, knocking, asking for a deeper understanding of the Word of God. Please don't take any of this in a hateful way, It is definitely not intended that way. You may however, see my fustration with Futurists.Read full review »
