Greetings c. marengo, I gather from the thrust of your post that you would hold to a preterist view? Not to take away from your view (or it's validity), you might gain a better audience if you didn't appear to be on a diatribe?! I don't hold to such a view as you espouse- and you are within orthodoxy- but a question begs. If you don't believe in the person of antichrist, who (or what) do 2 Thess (2:3) and 1 John 2:18 refer? You say "Why do we insist on teaching people that the reason we evangelize is to have fire insurance" I don't know that we do. Who are such that are teaching this? Would you care to be a little more specific? I certainly agree that coming to Christ is more and should be than just "fire insurance". However, I'm not quite following your thought pattern. Indeed our motivation to serve Him should come out of love, not fear (Tit. 2:11-12). It may also help, to set more of a foundation for your argument so that we might better determine where you are coming from:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I take no offense on anything stated by another. I'm cool with differing opinions. I will answer your question about my foundation though. I believe in the blood of Jesus as the once for all sacrifice for all my sin...yesterday, today and forever. I believe Jesus defeated Satan on the cross, completely destroyed him. I believe the kingdom of God came on the day of Pentecost and that we are in the process of living life to the fullest in Christ. I serve Christ from the position that HE has good news for a lost world. I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I am not looking for the beast or antichrist..fact is if I am wrong, I know that I will make it through whatever happens. You see I believe in living victorously. Years ago I heard said that talk of dying for Christ was silly talk especially when all too often those who talk about such things don't live for HIM....i.e. IF YOU DON'T LIVE FOR HIM WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'LL DIE FOR HIM.. |
