>>>Sometimes you write things that make me think you simply reject the nature of God’s love and grace, why Messiah had to suffer and die, and take you purposefully take the role of Israel’s accuser and adversary.<<<
I thought you were through with your nastiness, but I guess I was wrong. Those things written in the books of Moses were intended to be warnings to Israel; not as a weapon against anyone who doesn’t adhere to your feelings about them. It is about time you heard, maybe for the first time, that your doctrine is far more dangerous to Israel than mine.
What is the consequence of my interpretation of the future being wrong? Nothing, except maybe a few more Jews will hear about Christ.
What is the consequence of your doctrine if you and your fellow futurists are wrong? Generations of Jews will never hear the words of Christ. Frankly, your “hands-off” doctrine stinks.

Similar to 20th Century Europe, only this time it will be Jerusalem, Israel that is the target. Your doctrine will be adopted by a strong delusion as the Gentiles conspire to dismantle and ultimately go to war against the State of Israel under the auspices of the Antichrist. Did you ever imagine America would elect a Muslim President twice just after 9/11 ? A falling away and strong delusion is certainly possible.

Who knows because under that scenario we are in uncharted waters, abandoned for almost two thousand years with no unbroken chain of the faith once delivered to the saints, just a cascading web of myriads of denominations and sects without unity.
It will take a bona fide miracle for the nation of Israel to hear and believe the words of Jesus. The two witnesses of Revelation (Moses and Elijah) come to mind.
First you should realize afvet is using a gentle approach in responding to your shifting interpretive methods. I did not see one “nasty” post from that gentleman. I think his posts are pointing out your threads “beg the question.”
The consequences are many.
1) When the AntiChrist arrives, those who believe in preterism are likely to promote the acceptance of his appearance as the second coming of Christ.
2) For believers, a worldly preoccupation arises, believing human good works are a panacea for faith alone in Christ alone.
3) Regarding eternal rewards, many a predestined award will never be handed out at the bema seat judgment to preterists who fail to advance in His Word, but fall out of fellowship by a scarred soul falling for preterist eschatology and subsequent flawed doctrine.
4) Misinterpreting and promoting flawed doctrine simply grieves the Holy Spirit and places the believer out of fellowship with Him. Many preterists are walking grenades, by pulling the pin of arrogance and fragmenting their lives into either lasciviousness or legalism in their desire for approbation or a frantic search for happiness. This blocs positive volition to receive further growth in doctrine through faith in Christ. Instead, many preterists focus on worldly systems of power and control advancing a couterfeit agenda to His Plan.
He has a Plan for each and every believer, but in order to receive it we must remain in fellowship with Him.
