When oh when are we going to quite putting our human saying to rest and truly read the scripture in context.

"how shall they hear without a preacher" does not mean that they have to have a ordained preacher proclaim the good news to them, we are all preachers.

Come on biggy, what about when the missionary first come here. My people had only to believe the word once given. There was no study. Besides you mus a study so hard now you are now Believing trinity is saved? No one thousand no. The gospel preached even to the NT church had no word except it came by the apostles. Faith cometh by hearing. Not study. Your study is now available, but with out a man of God to show you, won't work. This is the foolishness of God. You laugh at.

You are so wrong on so many levels it is amazing. What about the first missionary to come to your country? They proclaimed the good news, which caused a seed of faith to be instilled in the hearts of those that heard and received it. But those missionaries did not have to be ordained nor licensed by any organization to come herald the good news.

You say no word was preached except it came by the apostles? What about when Paul began to persecute the church causing them to scatter?
Act 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Act 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
These were not apostles, they were everyday Christians.

You say that while I can study now without a man of God to show me I cannot find truth? Oh how wrong you are, Timothy was not a apostle, yet Paul instructed him to study to show himself approved, If Timothy can do so, so can each and everyone of us.
But then it seems you imply that I cannot study without a man of God, and that is even more laughable, because I have been in ministry since I was in my early twenties, ordained in my thirties.
What makes the man behind the pulpit any more special than the person on the pew? Not one thing, except in the mind of the individual.
Must we be accountable to someone, yes we do, we are to be accountable to one another.
Do I laugh at God, oh how wrong you are, neither do I laugh at God nor his word, I laugh at the traditions of man, that twist scripture to fit their own thinking.

I want to say, I am not trying to be demeaning in my last post, and I know it may have come across like that. But too many times religious quote a phrase out of context and make it say something it does not, and that was what I am addressing.

amen. What does a "man of God" look like, anyway? How does one identify him?

All preterist can be happy over is " look, awe man I can out quote him, or my doctrine is right" Didn't you see me get him oh man I'm awesome" that's all they have, the reward in this life. How you can line it out.

It is obvious you love your doctrine more than you love your God.

Lolo I say.

Hey, dont forget the first preterist though.....

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

The blind man said, men are "metaphoric" trees....LOL

These other blind preterists think the tree of life in the book of Rev. is metaphorically speaking of people too.......

LOL
