Recovery Room Series on Preteristsite.com

Recovery RoomAfter a 15-year stint within the movement called “hyperpreterism” & my eventual departure from that community.  I thought I could just walk away in relative peace but more & more I see that there are many unanswered questions for those either still trapped in hyperpreterism or those toying with embracing it.  Some have asked me if I left hyperpreterism because of exegetical reasons or because of “personal” reasons.  As I tried to demonstrate other places, the personal reasons, such as the perpetually corrupt people were like the smoke indicating a possible fire – as I examined further, the exegetical reasons (the fire) became apparent. 

Praying & mulling over how to best address this situation, I have decided to focus on helping people leave or avoid hyperpreterism completely.  If you are looking for a way out of hyperpreterism, this blog is written for you.

In the coming installments I shall outline practical issues & exegetical issues.  I will address some of the pointed questions I had as I considered leaving hyperpreterism; such as what alternatives are there? I mean, isn’t futurist dispensationalism still wrong even without hyperpreterism? Aren’t some of the arguments of “partial preterism” inconsistent?  What about all the apparent biblical support that seems to point to an imminent, first-century return of Christ?  Do we just chuck all of that?  I plan to interact with that in an exegetical manner & without offering some other “ism” for the person to embrace.

This is an introduction to a new series I am writing over on another website.  Dee Dee Warren of Preteristsite.com has graciously invited me to write this series on her blog.  Preteristsite.com is the premiere "anti-hyperpreterist" site on the Internet so it is only fitting that if I am going to write a series such as this, then that is the place to do it.  Fortunately, since the advent of Preteristsite.com, many other sites are now available specifically addressing the sneaky hyperpreterist movement.

I know there must be other people out there that want out of hyperpreterism but are just looking for the exegetical & practical answers that will help them get back to historical Christianity.  I hope to help.

God bless & keep you...& recovery you for Christ & His Church
