- Todd, Ten minutes ago I read your announcement of renouncing
hyperpreterism, and it took my breath away. I had to force back tears.
For several years, those people made my life miserable. I can't tell you
how good it feels to see you take your principled and courageous stand.
God bless you!!!!

Comments:Hi Todd
A friend told me that you had renounced hyper preterism. I praise God
for His work in your life to lead you out of that heresy! You are a
blessed man! : )
I am elder of a church in (Midwest), and a few years ago we had a
dreaful time dealing with some hyper-preterists that were among us. As
Paul predicted in 2Ti 2:17-18, their teachings severely harmed the faith
ofseveral of the saints before it could be stopped. Some have still
notrecovered.
Anyhow, I truly rejoice when I hear of someone leaving the hyper
preterist camp. Congratulations!
Jesus Is Wonderful!

Comments:Thanks Tod,
I agree 100 % . I m praying now that all people will come together as
one and seek the face of God so we might realize the potential we have
in Him.
Thanks again for your work, you are rewarded daily.

Maybe what I believe is closer to you than I thought. When you say
"the end of all things" on your chart, I thought all pret. held that
to be ONLY things that pertained to the Mosaic Law. Truly an end to
all things literal, is an impossible event. After all there is
"eternity" so how can there be an end to that. I do feel
however that there are places in the NT where we have to say,"Does
this apply to us?" If we don't then there are issues of women
not cutting their hair, going to the synagogue for the time of
prayer ,etc. However for the most part, I feel the New Covenant
began at Pentecost and is an eternal kingdom.

Those who are honest enough to admit it, have actually seen
countless lives ruined and destroyed by the implications of FP
teachings. If the doctrine were true, the demonstrated effects would
be far different than what has actually occurred. The lives of
believers would transcend anything the world has ever seen before!
The testimony of the facts demonstrate otherwise--people who no
longer have any sense of direction or purpose. Confusion replaces
confidence, fear replaces faith, speculation replaces Scripture
leaving nothing upon which to build ones life.

I believe that the gifts are still available to those who seek
them. However it is possible that the gifts were more influential
pre-70 than today. Simply because it was an infant church and needed
the "milk". I pray that the gifts might return as they did in the
apostles time but that is up to God to determine that. I believe
that all prophecy is fulfilled- come to pass, but not necessarily
over, some things are eternal such as the church. Once again, I
thank you for all your work on the site and for your peaceful spirit
on video and paper."

Words can't describe how thankful I am for the work you have done on
the preterist website. I visit the site almost daily soaking up
as much information regarding modern preterism that my little
brain can possibly hold. For about a year now, I have been set
free from the shackles of dispensationalism. This great
Revelation (after 18 years of knowing no other end times system)
has been unbelievably life changing. I have a new found passion
for reading the Bible, the way it was supposed to be read!
Unfortunately, when I try and share it with other believers, and
even pastors, they just don't seem interested in knowing the
gospel truth about eschatology. I think I may have read on your
site somewhere, that some people will sadly
believe an end times system for reasons other than
sound theology.
Thanks again for all the work you have done with the preterist
archive. Your faithfulness and diligence is blessing others in
ways that you can't imagine. May God continue to richly bless
you and your work.
In Christ
Todd
Although you and I do not really know each other I believe that our
interaction has been both positive and brotherly over the past few years. I
have always maintained a great deal of respect for you and for your
convictions even though I may not always agree with your conclusions about
every subject.
You invested your heart and soul into gathering the resources that went into
the founding and formation of "The Preterist Archive" as a place where
students of the word could gather to discern the truth and to look at
various aspects of preterism from an objective standpoint. I respect that
goal and intent.
I wish you well and that God's blessings will follow you where ever your
journey takes you. My personal thanks and admiration to you for all that you
have done!
Even if you have moved past preterism you have devoted a considerable
amount of time and energy researching the history of the doctrine and I just
could not stand to see it all just disappear into cyberspace. You are doing
a great job and I appreciate your work.

Todd,
I meant to ask you but I forgot...what is going to happen with your domain
name? Are you interested in selling it or perhaps donating it to planet
preterist? It would be a shame for that domain to go totally dark in my
opinion.

Pray all is well!!!

I just came across your web site for the first time and spent an hour or so
reading parts of it, mostly the part where you describe your personal journey of
discovery. I admire your honest and enthusiastic pursuit of the truth. And I
appreciate all of the work that has gone into your web sites. I could travel
with you most of the way, but I have trouble taking the last step --- i.e.
setting aside the second coming. How do you read 1 Corinthians 15 and seemingly
related texts, such as 1 Th 4:17? I suppose your have already dealt with this
someplace on your web site, but if you have time to comment I would appreciate
it.

Hi Todd
You have on your web site accused full Preterists of being guilty of the
Hymenaeus heresy. Concerning this very
serious charge - I must say several things
That I charge you before the throne of Christ Himself with doing the work of
satan in falsely charging not only me but many other faithful men of God
with a very serious crime against the faith without supporting such charges
nor taking seriously the nature of your charge or your duties under such
charges.
A heretic after the first and then second warning you must reject
Your warning must consist of proof of your charges not mere assertion and it
is your duty to warn and to call to repentance those who hold to heresy lest
their souls be lost forever.
You can not just set forth such 'accusations' without substance and in doing
so you have become an accuser of the brethren a work of satan.
I demand you before the presence of God and all of the heavenly host to
prove that we are indeed heretical and overthrowing the faith of saints. I
further demand of you that you prove that we are in error in believing that
no one was caught up to meet the Lord in the air that Paul promised
such event to.
2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred,
saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Sorry Todd - I am not doing this for debate sake - in fact I would rather
have no part of it. I wish I had never read you web site nor sent you any
e-mail I hate this very much but I will warn you that if you ignore what I
have just written God will indeed judge you for it.
I have seen it before - I do not like it - I hope you repent others did not
- they paid for it for years and still are.
Sincerely in Christ - B
[Please feel free to post a verse which looks back at the second coming
of Christ and declares fulfillment. TD]
