Echo Chamber of Preterist Groups

Well I left all preterist Facebook groups today after my benign comment was removed from a post that talked about how preterists take words literally. I compared that to when Democrats see words like socialism and think it just means being part of a social society. That when preterists encounter words like "come" they often read into it an interpretation of "come back" or "return". Or when they read words like "resurrection" in one place, they think it always means the same thing, even though there is clearly a resurrection the moment someone has faith and is "born again".  That resurrection didn't need to wait until AD70 or some future date.



I was told that comment was "confusing".  So, comments are deleted because they are confusing? Confusing whom? The echo chamber that doesn't want to ponder these potential connections? Anyhow, I've taken this as a sign to move on. If these simple connections are "confusing" to the new crop of preterists, then let them talk to each other un...unconfused. This leads me back to my plan to write a book on preterism. I think I'll dedicate the time I may have been using to interact with preterists on the groups, to finishing the book; especially since many of the people on these groups are new comers to the "movement" and have no idea what it was like in the 1990s during the heydays of the "movement".

You can take a look at some of the initial ideas for the book here:

I want to write it in a simple, matter-of-fact way, with the least amount of polemics as possible.
