PRETRIB RAPTURE – HIDDEN FACTS ! How can the “rapture” be “imminent”? Acts 3:21 says that Jesus “must” stay in heaven (He is now there with the Father) “until the times of restitution of all things” which includes, says Scofield, “the restoration o…

Robin, I just now found your order on Amazon and am sending you two copies tomorrow for the frustration. Again I apologize for this. Most of my orders are from my web site and they are easy to track. You are my first Amazon order - I obviously need…

Hi Mike, I think the Matthew 24 / Luke 21 and Romans 8 borrowed parallels were taken from my article and not Bell's. But its all good :)

Mike, By that are you saying I should get used to accepting that the same thing can be both true and not true at the same time? Are you saying I should abandon reason and just accept false propositions? Or are you saying I should just forget about…

I am sorry but I begin with the law of identity and that identity is that the gospel of the Christ is the power of God unto salvation to all those who believe. That is individuals and as the law of identity it is either true or false and can not be…

Profile Information

A Little Bit About Me:
I would love to be married as long as the Lord builds the house this time around (Ps. 127:1). I can relate to David's first marriage. After my wife left and I went through a divorce, I unfortunately can relate to David's period of "backsliding" as well. God is faithful to His beloved and brings them out of the dark night of the soul. No matter where you find yourself, God will be there (Ps. 139).

I became a real preterist back in 1991 while reading David Chilton's books. I had noted that he subtly did not divide Matthew 24 into two sections applying some verses beyond vs.36 as fulfilled in A.D. 70. This bore witness with what I was seeing in my own studies - Matthew 24-25 was addressing only one coming and it was either all future or all fulfilled by A.D. 70. You can listen to how I came to preterism and my discussion with David Chilton on my web site. From that point I began asking the Lord if there were any likeminded folks out there. I would then run across Ken Davies David Green, - and well, that leads me up to this point getting to know all of you as well. Glad to be apart of God's army of 300 taking posession of the eschatological landscape for His glory in our generation.

I am currently working on a book with David Green and Ed Hassertt which is a response to When Shall These Things Be? This was a multi-authored book written from the Reformed community seeking to refute preterism. It didn't work! It has only given us more exposure and demonstrated their "house divided." Our books title is, "HOUSE DIVIDED: Bridging the Gap In Reformed Eschatology."

I graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College in 1987. I attended The Master's College for two years and majored in theology.

My interests outside of theology are: basketball, volleyball and mixed martial arts.

Church:

For 11 years I have attended and associate myself with the Sovereign Grace or Free Grace churches: http://www.freegrace.net/cherokee/
Audio sermons by my Pastor Tim James can be found here: http://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?SpeakerOnly=true&currSect...

Other related web sites: http://www.freegrace.net/default.htm

Although these men do not preach the truth concerning God's kingdom and Christ having come a "second time" to purge the church of her sin, they do faithfully and consistently preach God's sovereign and free grace for sinners. I encourage you to read and listen.

I work at Harrah's Cherokee Casino in Cherokee, NC.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ISAIAH 65:17-25

THE TRUTH ABOUT ISAIAH 65:17-25

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

God’s creation and maturing of His new heavens and new earth arrived with the imminent return of Christ to end the “last days” of the old covenant age in AD 70 - according to (2 Peter 3 – being a “reminder” of 1 Peter 1:4-12; 4:5-7, 17 and Revela… Continue

FORMING AND DEFINING THE TERMS "HYPER-PRETERIST" AND "FULL PRETERIST"

I am interested in how this group would define these two terms. Obviously we can't let futurists such as Talbot , the writers of WSTTB, or Todd D. do it .

I'll start:

HYPER-PRETERIST - One who believes that the OT and NT promises of salvation were limited to the 12 tribes of Israel and that post AD 70 there is no salvation for the Church.

FULL PRETERIST - One who believes that all of God's covenant promises contained in the OT and NT concerning eternal/resurrection life (ie. being raised from… Continue

WHO IS DENYING THE SUBSTITUTIONARY NATURE OF CHRIST’S ATONEMENT “REALLY” - FUTURISTS OR FULL PRETERISTS? REVERSING THE CHARGES!

(TLM editorial note: This was originally written as a post on the SGP web site as a follow-up to our RCM podcast 8/23/09 dealing with the issue of - Should Full Preterism be considered Reformed?).

As I’m sure most of you know that in doing a podcast you don’t have time to develop or cite everything you commented on or would have liked to have said.

I am still uncertain as to the eschatological position that Mr. Talbot holds (he is holding out on us apparently), but based upon what Sam has said… Continue

Hey Mike...I really enjoyed the podcast last night and thank you for responding in the blog today. I was not able to walk away with much clarification and your info today really helped! Thanks! I appreciate everything you do for all of us that are eager to learn and grow and understand fully the amazing view of preterism.

Mike,

Glad to be here. So why do you think I have any influence over DeAnn to get her to join... haha But seriously if you sent her an invite then I think it best to let her decide if she wants to join or not. I have mentioned to her that I joined this site and have talked to her very briefly about it. So we'll see....

Hi Heidi,

Thank you for your encouraging words. I think you will really like "Part 3" too :) It will really help you in addressing the false hermeneutical system of your Dispensational friend. Ask your friend for specific answers on the issue of - "Does the NT uses OT promises made to Israel and apply them or see them fulfilled in the Church?" The millennial temple of Ezk. 37, 40-48 will be a blessed study for you in this area as it was for me.

In Christ,
Mike

Mike,

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I am enjoying reading MATTHEW 24:34 "THIS GENERATION"! I only finished Part 2, but was very excited to read what you wrote about the Jewish Race. I completely identify with this and even had a discussion (disagreement) about the Non-Existant Jewish Race with a dispensationalist on another forum just a few weeks ago before I read your work. I believe this is a big key to helping Dispy's see this is a false doctrine. I can't wait to read more.

I am not sure where Cherokee, NC is? I am about an hour away from the GA/TN border. Is there a preterist church there?
