Rethinking the God of the Bible
by David Lee




Evolutionary biologist and staunch atheist, Richard Dawkins in his New York best seller “The God Delusion” states that: “the God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive, blood thirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist...capriciously malevolent bully” (50). Dawkins also notes that “Thomas Jefferson- better re… Continue

Compassion is deemed by many as not only an admirable trait, but a popular one as well. The word “compassion” can be heard spoken of everywhere from a small local coffee shop to the largest “self-help” seminar in the world. Most bookstores tend to have a plethora of books dealing directly with the topic and if Googled, 23,000,000 matches will result. It seems fair to say (and it would be an understatement) that people either desire to be compassionate or surround themselves with others who are.… Continue

It is Christmas Eve and as a young child anxiously waits for Santa Claus to come, his parents tell him that if he does not go to bed, he will be disobeying them and thus, since Santa wants little children to be good little boys, he won’t come with presents. The child responds with, “but I just want to see him!” The child can either take the parents bait, go to bed, and continue believing in Santa because of the “magical” appearance of gifts under the tree and that he was a good boy or he could s… Continue

Hey friends, been busy lately but need a favor. Does anyone have any good (summarized) articles or commentaries from a preterist perspective on 2nd Peter 3? Especially about the scoffers? Let me know.... I am just to busy to write one up right now. Thanks!

(My notes from an article in the works..)

I would like you all to proof read this to make sure it comes across with love. Although I disagree and attempt to expose his error, I would like to be sure that it comes across in love. Will you all wiz through this and let me know what you think? If yo have yet read his email to me, I recommend that you first go back and read his response which I posted under "This is the only response I get?" and then come back here and read this.



John,

Thanks a lot for taking time to read some of that ar… Continue

I sent a very lengthy article by Don Preston to my friend who is a PP and Greek Prof and this is the only response I get? This is so discouraging. People don't even give it a thought...........Except: "You're wrong!!"

Hi David,

"I will try to give the article more time in the future. But it seems he is arguing a common point--namely that we should make a distinction between a spiritual and physical resurrection. We cannot. The biblical writers did not hold to a Platonic dualism, but viewed us… Continue

Friends...I have to be honest. I would love it if Preterism was wrong. I mean it has caused a lot of grief for my family. And I am always hoping that someone will provide me with some compelling evidence to believe otherwise. That being said, I hoped that "When shall these things be?" (Keith Matthison) would do the trick or at least put a stone in my shoe.

So far it has only put a headache in my brain. I am not done yet, however so far the attempts to refute Full Preterism are borderline pathet… Continue

1. Matt 24:1-2 records Jesus stating that the Temple, which was being admired by the disciples, was destined to be completely destroyed.
2. Matt 24:3 records the disciples of Jesus clearly associating the destruction of the temple as the end of the Mosaic age and an event that would reveal the presence (or coming) of Jesus as Messiah.
3. Matt 24:4-32 Jesus does not correct them as though their assumption that all three events were not synonymous, but instead answers them by describing many event… Continue

I truly feel that the ramifications that come from a correct eschatological view are and will be a wonderful blessing to the whole world. I am going to spend my time trying to change everything and I want to encourage you all (at a time that I feel really low because of the last meeting I just had with a dispensationalist pastor in denial) to get as serious as you can. Serve God in a way that shocks the rest. I am serious . It is time for us to strive for true love and compassion, with our wives… Continue
