Subject: Preterism refuted by Scripture alone |
Bible Note: Dear Coper, Sounds like a adequate conclusion to me. Although I'm not a full Preterist, I'm not much bothered by them. I rather think the Left Behind bunch tend to exploit a preoccupation that reflects something that is spiritually unhealthy. Sometimes it seems to boarder on the fascination that is exploited by the fortune-teller. The Bible is so rich with the business that I must be about right now, why get so wrapped up in the future? God is sovereign, no doubt the future is fully in His capable hands. God graciously grants grace for this day's work of progressive sanctification. He is the author and finisher of my faith. If conforming me to the image of His Son is His primary work of the moment, why should my mind be off focused on other things? Isn't this clear from the amount of space taken in the kyrigma of apocalyptic writing versus didactic writing? Oh well... just my two widow's mites on the topic. In Him, Doc |
