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.

Your Comments:

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.
