Seriously, any Christian associating with Roderick should call upon to him repent and to follow proper procedures for accusing an elder. Samuel Frost RIGHTLY says:
a puppet king would require a puppet. I am no puppet. Green’s remarks is an exercise in stupidity.
Roderick Edwards has recently made the claim that Dr. Talbot does not and has not clearly taken the position that hyperpreterism is heretical and outside of historic Christianity. That is false. Roderick has taken the unfortunate position of instigating a campaign of slander against an elder. He has spit in the fact of kindness and twisted that as “proof” that Dr. Talbot “buys” people because he offered me a scholarship. Nevermind the implied insult that I can be bought or that my work doesn’t deserve a scholarship. Here are the facts: yes I am currently a student at WTS; however, that at this time is simply a name on paper. Due to my life circumstances, I have done very little in the way of coursework, and absolutely nothing that has been submitted. If I dropped out tomorrow my opinion and respect for Dr. Talbot would not change. As to Roderick’s accusation that Dr. Talbot is synthesizing hyperpreterism and orthodoxy, that is also flat-out false. The eschatological position that Dr. Talbot holds is nearly precisely the same position that I have held for about four years now and have expressed on this blog numerous times. The only proof that Roderick has is that Dr. Talbot has coined a name for his view to distinguish it from the views of others. So what? The term “orthodox preterism” is also not a time-tested term, yet I have used it for years as an ice-breaker to make sure that people do not confuse me with hyperpreterists. There are differences within orthodox preterism. I do not hold the same views as Gary DeMar for example, yet we both are within the umbrella of orthodox preterism. Coining a term to show the difference does not a new view or heresy make.
Roderick you need to repent of your slander. You have absolutely no proof but slurs and inuendo. I don’t know what has gotten into you, but it isn’t godly.
