Preterism, The Catholic Deception
By Pastor G. Reckart
Champions of Preterism
(Warning: Graphic Imagery) Prophecy and the
interpretation thereof has been of importance ever since the day Jesus
said he would go away and come back again.
Questions arose: When will you go away? Where will he
go? When will be come again? These and other questions have been
discussed by thousands. How could such a simple prophetic fact of the
second coming have so many interpretations? Even more so, how could the
second coming become wrapped up in several other false doctrines and
interpretations? A trip through prophecy teachings such as the pre-trib
rapture, the mid-trib rapture, the pre-wrath rapture, and the
past-rapture group, is not as boring as some might think. There are
interesting interpretations that stagger the mind. The one that makes no
sense except among the Catholic church and those who accept its prophecy
doctrine, are the Preterist.
Just what do the Preterist teach? In a nut shell,
they teach Jesus has already come back and did so in 70AD. The rapture
is past, the great tribulation is past, the antichrist and the mark of
the beast is past, all the seals, trumpets, and vials are past:
fulfilled, finished, over. The resurrection is past. The dead in Christ
have already been raised. We are now living in the millennial which
began in 70AD. Oh they will say they believe in a future rapture, which
they mean that takes place at the end of the world. But corner them up
if this future resurrection is that Paul speaks about in 1Cor 15 and
they will say no, that one is past, over, finished.
According to the Catholic church, who has made use of
the Preterist heresy since at least the time of St. Augustine: The papal
throne represents the millennial throne of Christ. The Pope sits there
as his Vicar. The Catholic church as the millennial kingdom is destined
to rule the world. Anyone who refuses to come into the Catholic
millennial kingdom is worthy of death. The trinity doctrine is the
ecumenical faith of all who join or will be a part of the Catholic
millennial kingdom. Of course there are Protestants who claim the
Catholic church is not the millennial kingdom. They claim they are the
millennial kingdom; at least those who claim to be Preterist.
We live in a time when idiots claim interpretation of
prophecy is not salvational. That each person is entitled to believe
what they want, even if it is all lies and falsehood. That believing
lies and falsehoods is not salvational. Yet of this very event, Jesus
warned not to be deceived. He warned of false Christs, false prophets,
who would deceive many. If these deceptions are not false teachings,
false doctrines, false interpretations: THEN WHAT ARE THEY? And to say
these are not salvational issues, is borderline insanity. I will not
fall for that liberal kool-aid.
In these days of liars and deceivers claiming they
have received the Preterist doctrine from God, even Jesus: and claiming
it is the Apostolic interpretation of the Apostles; let me say these
deceivers will not succeed to deceive the very elect. Yes, they will
serve a purpose. They will be instrumental in brining out the
tare-factor in the false Apostolics. They will bring out the identity of
those who are not the wheat of God. This is necessary so that in the
harvest time we can know who is who. That time is coming with two very
deciding movements. The first is liberalism. This movement will clearly
show who the Bride of Christ is and who is among the harlot churches.
The second, is those who follow false interpretations of prophecy, and
who will deny the very Word of God for the endtimes. These two movements
will be the dividing of friends, family, churches, the Ministry, and
even the religiouis organizations. The elect will come out from those
who are not of the true Apostolic faith. Liberalism is doing us a favor.
It is manifesting who are not the people of God, and who we have to
withdraw from and not fellowship. Prophecy interpretations like
Preterism and the pre-trib rapture will also being a division. These are
exciting times. Times to look around and be shocked as God reveals the
inner heart of the deceivers and the deceived.
I have written a study on Preterist and the greatest
champions of it in the past 100 years. You can go read it at this URL:
Champions of Preterism
Some have claimed I have lied on them in my
reporting. Fact is, I have not lied at all. These men have changed their
web pages to make it look like if have lied and misrepresented them.
That is why I will not change my pages. These men are deceivers and
liars. They have altered their pages to take out some of their false
doctrines to make it appear they are not evil men spreading Catholic
heresy. These have not repented and come out of the Preterist heresy and
I am not ashamed to say I will not remove my pages about them or what
they wrote.
For those who want to criticize me: make my day! I
have an unction from the Holy One to declare the Truth and I will not
back up, cave in, be intimidated to stop my Ministry, or give an apology
to backsliders. And I have no respect for any man or woman who claims
the resurrection and coming of Jesus are past and occured in 70AD.
Jesus had not come back yet! The resurrection has not
taken place yet. And we are not in the millennial right now. Satan is
not bound right now. I resent any false teacher saying otherwise.
Preterism is a heresy of Catholic origins and I will oppose the lies
within it and all the spiritualizing they use to try and make it true.
We are still in the Church age. The tribulation is
yet future. The seals, trumpets, and vials are not fulfulled yet.
Be warned, if you spread false doctine on the coming
of Jesus in my life time while I am able to speak and write, I will
oppose you. I will stand up against you. I am in defense of the doctrine
of Jesus Christ that he is coming back again a second time. And this is
still future!
Apostolic people, do not be deceived and lose your
soul to false prophecy teachings.

Todd,
I'm curious as to why you are giving this nut any attention. Sounds like a
disgruntled full preterist. Anyone we know?

[TD: If there was an award given for the most
outrageous rhetoric of the year, this guy would surely take it home.
He just seemed to strike me as the most intense anti-preterist I've seen
since Bob Ross... maybe the most ever (thus the desire to archive it).
..certainly disgruntled, although perhaps more from a futurist
fundamentalist POV. ]

Actually he is an oneness pentacostal nut. He doesn't recognise
(Trinitarian) Christians. This paper is primarily directed against Mike F.
Blume, oneness and partial preterist.

To all who are concerned:
My article on the "Champions of Preterism" is for the whole Preterist camp.
Mike Blume is just one of many followers of the preterism beliefs Hitler
incorported into his Third Reich. My study is directed to warn Apostolics
not to fall for the lies of Catholic and Protestant, even Oneness preterist.
I call all of you preterist to repent of this false doctrine. If you do not,
I will be your Noah of this generation.

Pastor G Reckart...
You should get your facts right before you start putting down another man of
God and what he teaches....you are not telling the truth about nearly all of
what you say and who gave you the authority to play GOD here.....If you
think someone is teaching false then why wouldn't you pray for that person
instead of stomping all over him......what has happened to christian love?
Thank our God people like you are not our judge either!... I will pray for
you that God gives you love toward your fellowman instead of chewing them up
over the "net" and who knows where else....Bro Blume is far more of a man of
God than you...ask anyone who KNOWS him! You are the one who has spewed out
venom from your mouth not him!
>From a Christian who believes in the church family...loving one another as
a sister and brother

Gary Reckart has promoted a hatred towards any preterists for many years. I
have been but one of the few he directed his hatred towards, despite my
attempts to discuss things civilly with him. He even lied about things I
have believed, and when I showed him the difference and said I did not mind
him critiquing my actual beliefs, he said he would leave his words as they
were. I even prompted him to try and use kindness in case he felt I was
wrong in order to recover me as Paul admonished Timothy to not use strife.
He claimed he has not ability to minister to preterists, so I guess that
excused him from any Christian love.
By their fruits you shall know them.

Reckart, I am surprised that a man of your knowledge would pull out the
all-too-cliche Nazi/Hitler card when you know full well there is a Jewish
conspiracy. By the way, what do you consider yourself, an historicist?

There is a man in Glory! His name is Jesus Christ the righteous. When Christ
was set in the virgin's womb He became something He was not before. A body
was prepared for Him that He take part with His people. He was risen from
the grave and death for our justification and to set for us a hope of the
same resurrection. As Christ in His body was taken into glory, so shall our
mortal bodies be raised and we shall be for ever with the Lord.

Saying the apocalyptic prophecies were already fulfilled ignores prophecies
of a Paradise Earth during the Reign of Christ, spoken of in Isaiah 65 and
Zechariah 14. We do not YET see safe conditions on our streets, universal
health and well-being, or lions becoming vegetarians, or mortal humans
living for a thousand years. No Preterest can argue those things happened in
the past.

One God, the Father
We believe that the one and only true God is the Father, the Creator. We
hold this belief because it is the doctrine taught by our Lord Jesus Christ
and His Apostles (John 17:3, 1: I Corinthians 8:6). God is a Spirit (John
4:24), and, therefore, He has no flesh and bones (Luke 24:39).
There is no trinity of persons in God. Though the Bible speaks of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, never does it refer to all of them as
gods nor as three persons in one God; rather, it points to the Father alone
as the true God. The Son Himself emphasized that only the Father is the true
God (John 17:3, 1) and that He himself is a man telling the truth which He
received from God (John 8:40). The prophets also teach that we have only one
Father who created us (Malachi 2:10); Isaiah 64:4, 8). He alone is God,
there is no other God and no one is like Him (Isaiah 46:9)
God is from everlasting to everlasting, with no beginning or end (Psalms
90:2), immortal (I Timothy 1:17), and does not tired or become weary (Isaiah
40:28).
He alone is the creator of heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their
host, the earth and all things therein, and the seas and all that is in them
(Nehemiah 9:6)
The Lord Jesus Christ
The Iglesia ni Cristo believes that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God
(Matthew 3:17), is the one and only Savior given by God (Acts 13:23). Christ
is the sole mediator between God and men (I Timothy 2:5) and the only way to
God (John 14:6).
But we do not subscribe to the belief that Christ is God-Man. He is man in
nature according to His own testimony (John 8:40) and the teachings of His
Apostles (I Timothy 2:5; Matthew 1:18).
The attributes of a human being were found in Christ. He hungered (Matthew
4:2), thirsted (John 19:28), became weary or tired (John 4:6), slept
(Matthew 8:24), and died (Matthew 27:50; I Corinthians 15:3). However,
Christ as distinct from all men, is the only one who did not sin (I Peter
2:21-22; Hebrews 4:15).
He has been exalted by God and given a name above all other names, that at
the name of Christ every knee should bow, those in heaven, and those on
earth (Philippians 2:9-11). He has been placed by God far above all
principality, power, might and dominion, and every name that is named, and
all things have been put under His feet (Ephesians 1:21-22). Christ will
eventually subject all His power and authority to the true God (I
Corinthians 15:27-28). He had in so many instances introduced Himself as the
Son of God but never did He appropriate the title “God nor “God the Son for
Himself because He is not God but man.

This Pastor G. Reckart is possibly the most confused & confusing person I've
ever read of in my life. He lumps all Preterists into one bag? This is
because the poor guy has no clue what Preterism means.
I would like to see one shred of evidence that Full Preterism supports
Catholic Doctrine, the Catholic Church, or Catholocism in general.
Full Preterism points to things that occurred in the natural realm/world in
the 1st century, and their on-going spiritual realm/world implications.
His pages castigating Preterism as a generalized term shows his absolute
idiocy in regards to end time/last days prophecy and/or their fulfillment.
This goes to show the length, depth & height people will go to demonize
something they genuinely fear.
How anyone could attempt to equate Full Preterism with any earthly
atrocities beyond the 1st century generation completely shows a total lack
of human decency or intellectual honesty.
Painting anything to do with Hitler with the Full Preterist brush should be
viewed as criminal.
But I'm willing to give this blowhard a chance to back up his hate mongering
& rhetoric.
Pastor G. Reckart:
I see you live in Florida, as do I. I'm challenging you to a formal debate
on Fulfilled Eschatology. I will travel anywhere in the state to meet you.
I'd like for you to go to my Website www.1-revelation.com and go to my
challenges page. Read the information, see if you agree with the premise I
have laid for these 3 challenges. If you do, pick the challenge you would
like to face me on and let's get this set.
I'm sick to death of gutless cowards such as yourself who can only spread
hate, in a piss poor attempt to refute a belief you & I both know you can't
handle from scripture.
Your attempts to batch Fulll & Partial Preterism into one basket; and your
further attempts to link it to Hitler, Catholicism & A-millennialism,
clearly demonstrate your innability to to grasp what it is, promotes &
believes.
You pick the time, the place and the moderator; all I ask is 1 month to
prepare. It's time big mouths like you are called out on the carpet.
