1 | Still not convinced preterism is false | Matt 16:28 | Coper44 | 184880 | ||
Jeff, You're right. I shouldn't have precluded other views. I'm not dogmatic about my opinion, it's just that, an opinion. I would like to share with you why I've arrived at the position you can't accept. Matt. 28:16-20 clearly states that it was directed to the eleven disciples. I don't see how that's debatable but maybe it is. Notice especially verses 18-20: 18And Jesus came and said to THEM, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded YOU. And behold, I am with YOU always, TO THE END OF THE AGE." I see Rom. 16:25,26 and Col. 1:23 (notice the past tense) to be the fulfillment of Matt. 24:14 and Matt. 28:19,20. When viewed in light of these passages, the eleven did not fail to fulfill the command of Christ. They succeeded and were victorious. If you and others see it differently that's fine. It's nothing to divide over. I would rather use Rom. 10:14-17 as the reason we preach the gospel. One may call it a matter of semantics but I think it is more in line with the meaning and context of Scripture. I am not one of the "many who wish not to take seriously the responsibilities of reaching the lost" and I apologize for implying that the majority of Christians are guilty of abusing Scripture. That was putting it too harshly and went further than I intended. I just think that when we share our opinion of Scripture we should make every effort to frame them in their proper context. Thanks again for your patience and hearing me out. Coper |

Coper, Just in case you still don't get it! And you probably don't! Preterism is without a doubt anti-scriptural! Being anti-Scriptural, it is, anti-God! Therefore, spawned and hatched in hell! And suckled on the sour milk of satin! Pure deception! Filled with confused irrational nonsense! Just like every other cult and ism that is out there! But this one, is, one the worst dangers to come along yet! Just like the yeast in the bread mix, it is hidden, but it grows, until it infects the whole batch! And just like the mustard seed that had grown not into a normal plant, but into a gross deformity, with satins foul flock siting in it's branches to influence Christ's Church with foul smelling swill! This, is a picture of the apostasy that is in the Church today! And men of God, need to carry torches, to shed light, and expose what is in the darkness! I concur with Hank. Knock It Off! stj |
