How to avoid becoming a preterist.

[brandonjcollins]

LOVE IT!! I became a preterist recently for doing the opposite of all the reasons you've mentioned 😊 Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to the truth!

[GradyRisley]

I'm glad I listened before I posted. Lol Roght on brother.

OK, I too am glad that I listened long enough to hear you through. Great job with the video. Yes, preterism does seem to be growing. I only wish I could meet someone in my area and not just through YouTube. Keep up the good work.

I almost skipped this video looking at the title. I'm leaning heavily towards preterism but still have some questions. I figured I'd look at another view to see if this one had any good arguments.

Well, I was right! It had 6 good arguments to not be a Berean and just follow the pre trib narrative. Makes me want to study my Bible even more.

Part of the problem is that so many pastors aren't being Bereans and stick with the popular narrative. Just remember that the Pharisees and Sadducees had the popular narrative at one time...

Hahahahahahahaha this was a fantastic video! Unfortunately many Christians will probably take your advise...I mean it's not that hard since most of them currently follow most of your easy to follow steps as it is.

Christ has already returned and all Glory to the King of Kings!

Clicked on to expose you but soon realized your clever wit. Fun to watch folks unmask creedal dogma in such an interesting effective way.

[deancampbell]

I should have followed your six steps, because I literally got sucked into becoming a preterist :)

Step 7…You left out this video is for people who will be living 2000 years from now NOT For anyone watching right now

[JR-rsqs]

Gentry has steps 7 and 8 to add: you have to believe that Matt 24 is a riddle and the disciples were confused and wrote that confusion into Scripture.

[SiftingPerspective]

Thank you! this was so helpful! My only thing i was confused on was: which church fathers do I listen to again? They keep telling me different things!

[RobertBrown-ybur]

These steps will also keep you from becoming a believer in universal reconciliation, the victory of Christ.

Definition of a futurist: waiting for something that’s not going to happen and hoping for something they already have.

[DavidRodriguez-yozw]

Basically quit critical thinking, avoid all principles of interpretation and you'll be fine. 😕

0:29 # 1 Do not study the Bible for yourself. You have people who will tell you what the Bible says and what the Bible means.

0:47 # 2 Immediately stop listening to anyone with a different opinion than yours.

1:02 # 3 Ignore all of the time statements. Everyone knows they're bad for you.

1:26 # 4 Ignore audience relevance. When has the original audience ever mattered?

2:08 # 5 Take all metaphors as literal unless this causes you to change your non-preterist beliefs about eschatology.

2:57 # 6 If you start thinking preterism might be true, then use the creeds and early church writings to cancel what you're discovering in the Bible.

# 7 If your increase in understanding of the Old Testament causes preterism to make sense, then go back to point # 1.

# 8 Stop thinking the prophets of God have to be accurate 100% of the time.

# 9 You have permission to change the definition of the word, *generation, * to whatever you want.

#10 If you start to suspect preterism is true, you can claim there is a double fulfillment somewhere that can explain preterism away.

# 11 Ignore the evidence that Revelation and the rest of the New Testament was written before 70 AD.

I thought it was anti pret video. By point 3 I figured it out lol. So funny.

[fredisfast]

Make sure to skip over Matt. 16:28 ;-).

[Whitakerboys]

Dang wish I had heard this before I was converted 😂

[americandodo]

Now just wait until they realize there isn't a "hell" and that there was no single evil fallen angel entity called Lucifer or Satan... That'll really blow their minds!

[Ditchdiggerpewsitter]

All wit aside I think sometimes we have to poke the bear to wake them up. Our Creed -alist brothers and sisters have to come up with a better scriptural argument than the Creeds if they wish to stop Preterism from spreading. Go see Eschatology Matters latest with Jay Rogers interview. EM is a reformed type Christian ministry (I think they are doing good work for the Kingdom) but there is already some back lash from their base in the comments as this interview was more about the Preterist interpretation of Revelation. Anyway, let's keep working through the Scriptures and seek the Lord for help and unity. Love br. David - Canada.

Read your Bible for yourself. If someone tells you to rely on others to read and interpret it for you. Just shake your head at their stupidity and ignorance, and continue on reading and understanding the Bible for yourself.
