Where to begin with the mangled lies of Preterism. Brentner does a very good job starting at the top and working down to all of it’s falsehoods.

I always like to throw sand in their gears when they insist Nero was the A/C - ok.

So how exactly did Nero enforce “His Mark” on Mayans, Chinese, Eskimos, and the San People of Africa?

Here is the verse in Revelation 13:16-18

16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.

What great digital system did Nero have and how did his legions enforce it across the world when they didn’t even know it existed?

Mind-boggling the psychosis one has to have to buy into this!

Anyways...

The one thing a lot of saints are missing is the timing of the rapture...
Inconsequential to salvation ... but important...

We will be taken out before God pours out his wrath on the earth ..yes.. but when is that?

study to show thyself approved ...

I wanted to be a Catholic, but I couldn’t afford a good enough attorney. All of their theological treatises read like a brief in a securities fraud case. Turns out Jesus is rather simple.

The thing that truly IRRITATES me about the “teachings” (LOL) that claim 70 AD as the Return of Christ is that it is so selective.
It only incorporates a few aspects and points of Scripture.
Therefore, it is intellectually lazy and dishonest.

Bottom line, Heaven has not yet arrived on earth and the weeds are still here.

Do not believe any new “prophets.” Any preacher or scholar or new theory active since the 1960s should be viewed with particular suspicion or skepticism.

Luther’s sole goal was to translate the Bible in order that every man might read it for himself. the one thing that could not be done is dictate to each man the understanding of what is being read. THAT, my friends, is the job of the Holy Spirit. not you and not me. we can help for sure but do WE really understand ourselves? looking at how many different denominational beliefs are out there, I dare say NO! my personal mantra for many decades is simple...”you can’t TELL people what to believe. they don’t listen anyway”. the only way people will believe what you have to say is if you live what you say you believe.

Do you know who the anti-Christ, literally is? Christ declared He foretold all things…. That would by necessity include who was going to pretend to be Jesus..

Matthew 24…. Wars and rumors of war is not the end. Peace, peace, peace, is the opposite of war…. Fake Jesus is going to bring a fake peace for those who will bend a knee.. there has been a whole lot of practicing of bending the knee the past few years…..

Preterists, as well as amillennialists, do considerable damage ...

Associating Amillenialism with Preterism was an unforced error.

Ah yes, there are those who hold to Preterism no matter how many times one can prove their doctrine to be false.

Time is a getting short my brother, again, thanks for looking out for us! God bless you.

“bending the knee the past few years”

Yes indeed ...
gird your loins ... put on the whole armor ... it’s about to get real

For the most part, yes, I agree with you. There are only a few preachers I listen to anymore, and two of them have gone to their reward in Heaven. I listen to their pre-recorded messages!

Yep. Stanley and Adrian Rogers are ones I listen. I keep that list very short.

“I listen to their pre-recorded messages!”

Same here. One I’m listening to felt the time was short back in the mid 80’s (though he didn’t harp on it). I keep thinking “Brother if you could only see where we are NOW!”

This veiled slam of Catholicism is typical.

1-Nero was AN 'Antichrist', and it is clear there will be many.

2-The destruction of Jerusalem was the fulfillment of Christ's prophecy that this generation will not pass without seeing the destruction, but there is NO assertion against future Tribulations which are clearly to come.

3-"God replaced Old Testament Israel with the Church." is nonsense phrasing as Christ makes clear he has made a New Covenant, but has not changed the old law.

4-"Armageddon already happened in AD 70. Satan is already bound in the abyss and cannot hinder the spread of the Gospel."
This is taught NOWHERE in the church!
As stated before, there will certainly be future great Tribulations, and NOWHERE is it claimed the Satan is already bound and can't interfere with the spread of the Gospel!

5-Rev. 20 HAS NOT 'already been fulfilled'!

6-There IS a bodily resurrection after "the Second Coming of Christ'! (Not a 3rd as would be supposed by Rapturists)

I would certainly agree with your statement on the surface.

Too many hollowed out folks with new gospels, new “discoveries”, new secret “texts” being presented these days.

There is massive confusion out there, and it’s by design.
