Re: http://www.prophecyclub.com/radiotv.htm

Dear Mr. Johnson,

On your Radio & T.V. page, you say, “You’ll hear from powerful speakers as they share the Word of God with you, in addition to prophetic insights that will enrich your faith.”

How could my faith be enriched to hear about a future second coming of Christ? Jesus predicted that his return would take place in the first century. All the apostles taught the same thing because that’s what they had been taught by Jesus.

Furthermore, Christ said that the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles into “all the truth” and show them “what is to come” (John 16:13, NASB). So whatever the apostles said was “to come” must have been inspired by the Holy Spirit.

If the Second Coming failed to occur when it was supposed to, why would any sensible person have faith that it will take place in the future? To maintain the credibility of Jesus, the apostles, the Holy Spirit and the Bible, Christians have only one reasonable option: Jesus must have returned in the first century exactly when he said he would.

I recommend the short article Were the Apostles False Prophets? found at http://www.preterism.info and respectfully challenge you to provide a response which I will gladly post at Preterism.info. Otherwise, I will post this friendly challenge and note that it was never answered.

Sincerely,

Michael A. Fenemore

Dear Mr. Marrs,

…could you please confirm or deny that you are a Preterist and you teach “Replacement Theology”.

Jim Beggs

Dear Jim:

Preterists don’t believe in prophecy. They say that it (Matthew 24/Revelation) was all fulfilled by 70AD. This is unscriptural.

Replacement Theology (Separation Theology) teaches that God spiritually treats the Jews and Gentiles differently and that Jews don’t need Jesus. In contrast to this falsehood, I believe what the Bible clearly says in Galatians 3:26-29, namely that Jesus is Lord of Jews and Gentiles. God is no respecter of race or persons. I firmly believe the scripture: “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29)

All God's Best,

Texe Marrs

I sent Texe the following reply:

Texe:

RE: Preterists don’t believe in prophecy.

That is not true. Preterists believe that all Bible prophecy was fulfilled in the first century just as predicted by Jesus and the apostles.

RE: They say that it (Matthew 24/Revelation) was all fulfilled by 70AD. They say that it (Matthew 24/Revelation) was all fulfilled by 70AD.

That is correct.

RE: This is unscriptural.

I have proved otherwise. I formally and respectfully challenge you to offer a meaningful rebuttal to my brief article Were the Apostles False Prophets?

I will gladly post your response on my website. The article is easily found at http://www.preterism.info. If you choose not to respond, I will post this challenge and note that it was not answered.

On April 6, 2006, I sent the following e-mail to Kelly McGinley.

Dear Kelly,

I have been reading your Statement of Faith. You state that Christ will return in the future. How do you explain the fact that Jesus, the apostles and Scripture all predicted a first-century second coming?

Please read my brief article Were the Apostles False Prophets? and offer a response. I will gladly post your comments on my website. The article is easily found at http://www.preterism.info.

Sincerely,
