Andrew & readers,

I just wanted to inform you that the hyperpreterists (people who believe Jesus came back in AD70, the resurrection of the believers is past & the Judgment is done) are getting giddy. They see in your words the possibility of you about to embrace their teachings. They get giddy whenever they think a high-profile person is going to join them. They did this with Hank Hanegraaff from CRI when he wrote a book called "The Last Disciple" which appeared to support their views. Hanegraaf did NOT endorse hyperpreterism. They have done this with Gary DeMar over the years as he goes back & forth with sounding like a hyperpreterist.

Their last target was Brian McLaren of the Emergent movement who recently said: “I believe all predictive prophecies were fulfilled in the destruction of the Jewish Temple in AD 70 under the Roman Empire.” (source) (read here for more: http://www.preteristblog.com/?cat=99&paged=4)

Hyperpreterists are constantly looking for a "hero" to champion their cause. Once that happens, they think they will break into the mainstream.

So it appears that Andrew is their new runner-up. Beware of friendly hyperpreterists coming to pat you on the back Andrew, they really are just looking for a new P.R. man.

[Roderick Edwards is a FORMER hyperpreterist — very active in that movement for 15 years, left after coming to the realization that the PREMISE of hyperpreterist is faulty. Hyperpreterism MUST believe that 2000 years of Christian interpretation about eschatology has been wrong. That the Sovereign God of the universe had failed to guide His Church on this very crucial point & not until 1971 with the advent of hyperpreterist founder Max King did the world come to realize how wrong the historic Christian view had been. This is too much, this is arrogant & cultic. It leaves historic Christianity in a lurch & puts up a "new kind of Christianity" that is not recognized as ANYTHING that had ever been considered Christianity. You Emergents/Postmodernists better look out — the hyperpreterists have actually stated that they want to "marry" with your movement so that they can use it to foster their beliefs.]
