There's Something About Gary... How Some "Partial-Preterists" Validate Hyperpreterism Part 1 & 2

There's Something about GaryThis is a podcast discussion about irresponsible laxity on the part of some orthodox preterists when it comes to the issue of hyperpreterism, specifically, very prominent and influential preterist Gary DeMar of American Vision. There are two goals for this podcast. First, to warn people to be wary of Gary DeMar and others who might blur the line between orthodoxy and heresy through passive complicity and to see the harm that such behaviour can cause. Secondarily, it would be to get Gary to change his ways on this subject, and if not, for those who support him to bring some pressure to bear until he does for the sake of the Church or at the very least to be completely cognizant that Gary has not been a champion of the historic faith in areas completely relevant to his ministry.

A Real Discussion with Brian Simmons: Refuting the Erroneous Premise of Hyper/Full Preterism

A Real Discussion with Brian SimmonsListen to this one-hour audio discussion with Brian Simmons where he & Roderick Edwards discuss not only Brian's experience on a hyperpreterist podcast but also the overall false premise of hyperpreterism.

 

Hyperpreterism is considered a heresy not simply because it is different than the majority view of Christianity but because like Mormonism & Jehovah’s Witnesses, hyperpreterism is a complete disconnect from historic Christian faith.  Hyperpreterism is a novel invention that attempts to revision itself back into history by claiming many theologians of the past were also “preteristic” – however, almost NONE of those past theologians espoused anything like hyperpreterism.  Hyperpreterists clearly are trying to highjack history in the same way they have actually highjacked the theological term “preterism”.

 

Hyperpreterists spend a lot of time & effort trying to get people to “debate” them using “exegesis” alone – but it really is nothing more than their attempt to have a testosterone match, little different than sword waving fanatics yelling “Allah Akbar!” & pounding their chests.  It gives them a sense a validity. UPDATE: Soon after this response podcast was posted, the host of the hyperpreterist show on which Brian appeared, threatened to sue Brian for of all things, "harrassment".  Now folks, these hyperpreterists come on to the various blogs against them & constantly beat their chests & double-dog dare people to "debate" them & now they have the nerve to threaten to sue people for harrassing them???  It isn't the first time & I suspect it won't be the last time a hyperpreterists ignores 1 Cor 6:5-6...perhaps they have never read those verses since they aren't so-called "time-texts" -- or maybe they think that only applied pre-AD70.  AMAZING! 

PreteristPodCast Interview

PreteristPodCast InterviewListen to this enlightening discussion between Roderick Edwards & Dee Dee Warren as they discuss an obscure but increasingly vocal cultish belief called "hyperpreterism".

Warren is known for her long time opposition to the hyperpreterist movement -- a movement that teaches Jesus already returned & the general resurrection of the believers happened in the first-century.

Edwards had been a hyperpreterism advocate for about 15 years & had renounced it since late 2007.  He is now spending time helping explain how he & others slipped into the heresy of hyperpreterism & how people can avoid making the same mistake.

Left Behind: Answered Verse-by-Verse

Left Behind AnsweredJoin this 19 minute interview as David Reed discusses his new book "Left Behind: Answered Verse-by-Verse".  David was a contributing editor to the late Dr. Walter Martin's "Christian Research Journal" while publishing his own quarterly counter-cult journal called, "Comments from the Friends".

In the book, Reed contends that the recent premise of men like Tim LaHaye rejects the teaching of Martin Luther and John Calvin (leaders of the Protestant Reformation), Roger Williams (the first Baptist pastor in America), John Knox (early Scottish Presbyterian), Cotton Mather (a leader of Congregationalists in the American colonies), John Wesley (Methodist), John Wycliffe (Bible translator), John Huss (martyred by the Inquisition), and the 1646 Westminster Confession of Faith.

Left Behind Answered makes the biblical AND historical case that the entire concept of a future tribulation is erroneous.

Interview on The Narrow Mind with Gene Cook

Listen to this 1 hour podcast of Roderick Edwards discussing his renouncement of Full Preterism (aka hyper-preterism).  Roderick had identified himself as a Full Preterist for over 15 years & had been very active within the Full Preterist community but over the last 5 years, due to not only doctrinal inconsistencies & blatant speculations that plague Full Preterism but also the rabid antinomian, licientious behavior common among the most vocal advocates of Full Preterism -- Roderick lost interest in supporting Full Preterism.

Join Gene Cook (aka "unchained radio") as he interviews Roderick on Roderick's history within & now leaving Full Preterism.

Reformed Evangelism

Reformed EvangelismThe only reason there is a need to make a distinction between evangelism & Reformed evangelism is because preachers & Christians in general have moved so far afield from what evangelism used to be that it is necessary to insert the word "Reformed" simply to wake people up to what has happened.  George Whitefield popularized the idea1 "Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life" but this isn't the message that was preached by the original Christians or even the first Protestant/Reformed Christians -- The Gospel message is REPENT & BELIEVE (Mark 1:14-15) & how will anyone repent or  believe unless first they realize a need to do so.

Listen to this 40 minute podcast with Tim Micer of seeking4truth.com as he explains the difference between the watered down & false evangelism that you often hear today & Reformed...or better yet BIBLICAL EVANGELISM.

Obeying Authorities: Can Christians Ever Disobey Civil Authorities?

Christians understand the concept of "obeying God instead of men" but the question remains, for what reasons can a Christian disobey civil authorities especially in light of such verses as: Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.  Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. -- Rom 13:1-2

Then what about the validity of the American Revolution, what about the Christians under the governing authorities of such historical despotic rulers as Hitler or those Christians presently under the rule of socalistic or Islamic governing authorities?

Examining the House Church Movement

As the opportunities to experience “church” in differing ways increase, people find themselves examining & testing the various models. There is the mega church with all of its hype & technology. There is the traditional church with its structured format of lecture. There is the house church with its supposed attempt to recover & revive the original model of doing church.
