Remarkable

What is remarkable is just a few short years ago nobody had even heard the word "Preterist".
Now Preterism (full and Partial) are widely known of and openly discussed, and accepted to a degree.
Along with the same "remarkableness" is "Dispensationalism" too is being questioned, and rejected by one time stalwerts of it, at least in the traditonal view of it.
Is this all good? Healthy or irrelevent?
Is the current Christian generation not as tied to tradition therefore, a open re-evaluation is not a problem?
Or is it a sign of something or other?
Remarkable!

Re: Remarkable

To accept full preterism is to me a sign people have lost the love of the truth. They destroy THE most important thing we have to offer. The hope of the coming of Jesus Christ.

Yes, I'm sure you're right. They love the truth for a while, then stop. Then they look around and say "Hmmm, that preterism thing looks wrong. Yeah, wrong, so I think I'll believe it!"

I would not want to judge people but I just cannot understand it at all.

Re: Remarkable

It is remarkable... but we knew there would be scoffers who would say "where is the promise of His coming?"

And so because time has passed and all things remain as they were... reasoning away the coming of the Lord is taking place.

But I love His appearing and am looking for His coming.

Re: Remarkable

Bro. MB has asked me to discuss it but I just read and read but for some reason I just cannot get a clear picture...and nothing at all against MB...to me he has been a perfect gentleman...it is just the doctrine I cannot seem to understand.

Preterism has been around a loooong time. It just came back into "fasion". Many endtime views cycle around...pre...post...mid....pre-wrath...they've all had their time in the sun....and they will probably again.

Endtime views are made to be changed....so I wouldn't get to worked up over it. Most people I know have had at least 2 different views already in their lifetime.

So that hope is only a hope for those living at the actual time?

It is not considered hope that one in the grave would forever be with their Lord?

Why is it a loss of hope when someones belief says that the very same resurrection will happen for all those who are saved by His grace when they pass from this life?

Why does that totally undo that hope?

Remarkable!
How old are the terms "Dispensationalism", Pre trib, mid trib, post trib?

These concepts began with writings under the pen name Rabbi Ben Ezra and some of the Plymouth Brethren and is not much older than 150 years old itself.

Remarkable!

Because it is not true that one has immediate eternal life at death. The resurrection of the dead will take place at the second coming of Jesus.
