Soon after I left the Hyperpreterist Movement in late 2007, many hyperpreterists leaders started saying I had no “exegetical” case for rejecting hyperpreterism.  They gave all kinds of wild speculations as to why I left though I told them over & over that my reasons were both exegetical & practical (practical in that hyperpreterism in consistent practice leads to corrupt character because it unhinges a person from the continuity of Christian morality by claiming much of it is “only a 1st-century thing”  — see link).

I have purposely been focusing on the aspect that caused me to be a hyperpreterist for 15 years — which is an erroneous understanding of Sola Scriptura (Bible Alone).  Many modern Evangelicals think Sola Scriptura means, “just me & my Bible & my own interpretation”.  That is NOT what Sola Scriptura means — that concept is actually SOLO Scriptura where the person exchanges the Pope in Rome for the pope in the mirror.  They discount 2000 years of UNITED Christian interpretation on the basics & claim they found something “new”.  It was this erroneous understanding of Sola Scriptura that allowed me to get suckered into hyperpreterism & kept me in bondage to it for so long.  Thanks be to God for all the prayers on my behalf & the work of godly men & women (such as Dee Dee here) that helped free me from that heresy.

But now, I want to enter the next phase of using “what men meant for evil & God meant for good” to help others.  As a Reformed/Calvinistic Christian, I believe & practice that all things have a purpose which ultimately glorifies God, so my time among the hyperpreterists has not been a complete waste.
