Reading through some of this thread it appears some believe we're already living in eternity (though people are dying every day) and we're already in the New Heaven and New Earth (even though there's rampant sin) and that each one of us are the Holy City, the New Jerusalem (even though we suffer from sickness, disease and death).

I’m going to a funeral tomorrow and the Pastor of the saint that died told me something that is awesome. Days before this good man died he was in and out of consciousness, his Pastor walked up to his hospice bed and the man opened his eyes and said, “Pastor, the chariots of fire are real” he then went back into unconsciousness. The Bible says

1 Corinthians 15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

This life isn’t all there is. Some Preterists do not believe in the spirit realm, they’ll say all has been fulfilled and it was completed. No heaven, no hell (damnation). It’s sad people can’t see or believe past what they see.

I believe that we are grafted into the vine and are now the Israel of God, all one in Christ, Jew and gentile together.

Quote:

Galatians 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Quote:

Galatians 6
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

I believe we are now seated with Christ in heavenly places according to Ephesians 2.

I believe we will see Jesus return in the same manner that the disciples saw Him leave in Acts 2.

That are as many forms of Preterism as there is Dispensationalism.

Eschatology isn’t something people really understand or care if they even get it right. My lands they argue over 3/4s of the Bible. They think Jesus had long blonde hair and walked around Galilee in a bathrobe. Shouting their hair down over Osama Bin Ladin’s 50 wives becoming UPCI evangelists.

This isn't Jesus???

Some people believe this is accurate...

I bet you'll say this isn't Jesus either...

An impartial preterist.

Was that Paula White? It is a wonder she doesn't ignite in flames when she touches a Bible. Did they say that President Trump made Christianity great again in the United States? Do these people have no shame? Look, if he is reelected we only have Camelot for four more years. Who will be the president next?

This looks like a tile guy I work with on jobs. Everything is the same including the hat.

You know, I almost posted why don't Apostolics go pray with President trump. But then I remember that it didn't help Bill Clinton. Maybe it would be good to have President Trump at an Apostolic service. At least he wouldn't have a bleach blonde prostitute hanging on him during the prayer.
