Yes, thanks for the example of not being puffed up Mr. Wilcox. The fruit of your reply has now told that you have entered into something without much...
Does anybody know the history of Preterism? How, when, where did it begin and by whom? Did the early church believe in it? How has the concepts of Preterism...
Hi there Mike, this question is difficult only because in theology, things often don't have a specific "beginning". For example, we Protestants might think...

Okay...I have been reading some sites on preterism and want to be sure I get it... In 70AD the old testament prophecies were fulfilled, the atonement paid, the...
Hello, I’m not intellectual either, but this verse doesn’t have nothing with soteriology. It was directed to the church of Laodicea. They were His sheep,...
WHAT? This verse ONLY applies to a specific group; within a specific group? How about the one before? "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous...
Again; WHAT? "There is, I believe, a rational balance with God design (pre- destination) and our hearts (free will). The spiritual, coherent christian is aware...
Dear brother, 1 - We don't need to discuss what I think, or you: the Bible says "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said TO THE CHURCHES." (Rv...
Boa vinda! Wagner (no I don't speak Portuguese but I wanted to attempt a proper welcoming). Thank you for pointing out that we need not discuss what you or I...
Hello again -- First we must understand that there are two processes always at work in the Bible. The natural (physical) & the spiritual. This premise is most...
