Hi Mojo

As per email, Tom mentioned an excellent article on Preterism by The Berean Call.

https://www.thebereancall.org/content/september-2011-q-and-a-1

I would like to know if there are any articles on this website regarding the preterist views. I put it in the search box, but nothing comes up.

Thank you:)

Dankie Marthina vir jou comment. Daar is deesdae so baie valse leringe en leermeesters dat dit uiters moeilik is om tred te hou. Daarom is ons so dankbaar vir mense soos jy wat ons attent maak op nuwe verwikkelinge. Ons sal beslis inskakel op die links wat jy gestuur het om verder agter die kap van die Bybel te kom.

Well there we have it. You know churches start off seemingly ok, and slowly but surely slip in false teaching little by little to the dumbed down congregation who have left their brains at the door. As time goes by the Pastor will introduce more Pastors who preach even more rubbish. It’s the slow indoctrination that ensnares everyone in the end.

Hi D.W. Cusens,

I notice that Stephan Joubert delivered a sermon in LewenSentrum on the Kingdom of God on 5 May 2019. He mentions Eugene Peterson right in the beginning who believes, like Joubert that the Kingdom of God is already here on earth.

EUGENE PETERSON PREFERS POETRY AND FICTION OVER BIBLE STUDY
November 21, 2005
TBC Staff
The importance of poetry and novels is that the Christian life involves the use of the imagination, after all, we are dealing with the invisible. And, imagination is our training in dealing with the invisible, making connections . . . .

I don’t want to do away with or denigrate theology or exegesis, but our primary allies in this business are the artists . . . . Why do people spend so much time studying the Bible? How much do you need to know? We invest all this time in understanding the text which has a separate life of it’s own and we think we’re being more pious and spiritual when we’re doing it . . . . [Christians] should be studying it less, not more. You just need enough to pay attention to God . . . . I’m just not at all pleased with all the emphasis on Bible study as if it’s some kind of special thing that Christians do, and the more they do the better.” [“A Conversation with Eugene Peterson,” “Mars Hill Review,” Fall 1995, Issue No. 3: pgs 73-90.]

[TBC: It is shocking, but not surprising, that Peterson esteems Bible study so little. While claiming to be a Greek and Hebrew scholar on one hand, Peterson regularly abandons definitions from Strong’s (and other trusted sources) for his own poetic “translation” into today’s “lingo.” That such carelessness is applauded by leading evangelicals is astounding. Peterson is much more careful with his interviews today — but these earlier comments reveal his rationale for taking such “creative liberty” with Scripture in his corrupted “paraphrase” of God’s Word called “The Message.” Peterson says, “imagination is our training in dealing with the invisible.” What an astounding contradiction of God’s Word! (which says): “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy:2:15
); “All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy:3:16-17).]

Stephan Joubert, like Euegene Peterson, doesn’t like it when you study the Bible and, therefore, you must listen to their abhorrent twisting of God’s Word

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:16)

Dear D.W. Cusens

Oh my but are you reading my mind? lol 🙂 On Sunday I went to the shops and drove past this church (which I do rather regularly) and thought to myself, “I’ve got to attend to see what makes this place so popular, the expensive cars line up for blocks, barely a poor-mans car in sight – ok it’s in Meyersdal which is a rich area”.

I’ll watch some videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtm2_dMH80tRgIYG_ViV-KQ/playlists

Is there any teaching in particular that you have heard that does not sit right with you?

The One Eyed Symbolism doesn’t make me at all happy, let’s hope it was not intentional:

Hi Claudia
