Re: Hyperpreterism Invasion

Re: Hyperpreterism Invasion

I am frustrated by what appears to be an emerging prejudice against preterism here on this site.

I think this is quite wide of the mark and probably self-indulgent thinking. As Richard Rohr reminds us, one of the five most significant truths that we need to learn but rarely do is: “It’s not about you.”

If there is any prejudice on the open-source theology site — as one who’s been a part of this community for several years and reads most all that’s posted these days — I would suggest it’s prejudice against being rail-roaded, herded, ‘shepherded’ towards any particular system of thought.

If someone from a Reformed background, for example, was attempting to proselytise, they would arouse suspicion. As would someone from any particular camp.

I think what people here want to be able to enjoy is the free and open discussion of ideas which are (clearly) agenda-free. People want room to think.

It might be helpful for you to consider whether preterist writers do have any agenda in posting their writings. Are you doing anything different, which might be arousing suspicion?

Or are you truly just ‘enjoying the beer’ here like most of us? If so, don’t cry in it! Just put your ideas into the meley and don’t expect any favours.
You’re just one voice amongst many — and remember, "it’s not about you."
