The Preterist Blog ~ 100% Hyperpreterist Free|we can haz rezurekshun?

It is well-known amongst those that read my material that I have “respect” for David Green as a hyperpreterist who has the courage to face the implications of his position. If I ever embraced this heresy, that is exactly how I would be.

In a slightly different angle, there is another heretical preterist who goes by the name of “jfarley” on a heretical site that I also think has this backbone and doesn’t launch the “oh you called me a meanie name you must be unloving” log of balogna that is rampant amongst the heretical preterists attempting to fit into the historic faith they reject.

Here is the backdrop - jfarley was realizing the implications of his position makes the “gospel” that he believes in radically different than the “gospel” that a great majority of Christians do and urges his fellow hypers to apply Paul’s condemnation to them that preach “another gospel.” He is absolutely right from his perspective. I have been saying very similar things all along - if the hypers had the courage of their convictions and were not trying paint themselves as something they are not, they would split from such “error” as the rest of us promote and start their own separate “church movement.” I have always maintained that the failure to do so is theologically dishonest - while also maintaining that I do not believe the hypers to be deceitful in their persons, but that they have been ensnared by the devil who is the father of lies.

So back to the issue at hand - when jfarley was chastised for being “condemning” and “unloving” he responded:

Paul’s words do not trump anything that Christ said, nor do they contradict anything that Christ said. Neither Jesus nor Paul acted out of a lack of love for those who opposed them, but If I were to repeat some of thier words here, you can imagine the wrath that would be unleashed.

He is absolutely right. For such a group that says that they hold the Bible to be primary above “traditions of men” (and yet the very Bible they hold is the product of tradition), they shrink from the Biblical mandate of anathematization.
