The first case is understandable. The second seems inexcusably lazy and morally relativistic. In my opinion.

Seems like a lot of folks just really aren't interested in finding and knowing truth. They'd just rather meet the minimum requirements and get on with their lives.

Kind of sad, actually.
What's sad are those who add to the Bible and include things which aren't salvific as though they are. They d amn and condemn good and righteous men and women as heretics simply because they believe something different than them.

Bro. T F Tenney wrote a book and uses the phrase, "the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."

It's not about moral relativism, it's not about being lazy and doing the minimum - what a joke those accusations are. We don't earn salvation, thus there's no "minimum" as you derisively claim.

It's about recognizing the important issues and not getting tangled up in things which aren't. I'm not going to get all huffy and puffy and bitter with anyone over when I believe the end will happen. I believe it will happen. That's what matters. Judgment will come. Christ will return. It will happen. That's the part which matters.

A heretic would be the one who claims it won't happen.

Arguing over the when does not matter.

Your claim of people being heretics over pre, mid beliefs is as dumb as those who preach a man will split hell open and are damned for wearing a short-sleeved or colored shirt.

Re: Pre trib rapture teaching is heresy

What if the book of Revelation is so dynamic it speaks to the fall of Jerusalem, Christian history, and the future apocalypse... all at the same time? What if in some way, there is truth to every position?

that would be historicism

Preterism and Futurism by definition exclude each other.

Beloved, EVERYONE will be caught unaware: even those who are ready. But

(shaking, falling away) and the appearance of the man of sin and because we
understand how the Lord makes a difference between those who are REALLY
his and those who are not, we will not be caught unprepared.

No, we will be taken out of the way before the man of sin is revealed, by the Holy Ghost.

It only speaks of current and future events, from 96ad forward.

You cannot see anyone else's post this morning on this page due to that tripe.
The posts are more than 99 percent scripture. Are they nonsense to you also?

I merely agree with them as I compare them, but you love Esaias' cartoons.

Beloved, in essence you are saying that nothing more has been fulfilled since
the year 96 AD!
