I'm sorry Mr Hanegra...Thank you for the update. I'm sorry Mr Hanegraaff is a preterist. He will be pleasantly surprised. :)<br /><br />I take the view that Dr John MacArthur expressed in an interview out today--<br />Q. "You have ministered alongside Dr. Sproul at conferences for many years in spite of differences on issues such as baptism and eschatology. How would you respond to Christians who believe that disagreement on these doctrines precludes any such cooperation?"<br /><br />A. Obviously, the things we agree on are far greater in number and infinitely more important than the things we might disagree on. When it comes to foundational matters and the core truths of the gospel, R. C. and I are in complete agreement. The drive-train of authentic Christianity consists of vital doctrines such as the nature of God; the fallenness of humanity; the person and work of Christ; the authority and inspiration of Scripture; the way of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone; the nature of Christ’s atoning work; and all truths of similar import. On all such matters, R. C. and I stand together without wavering or hesitation.<br /><br />That’s not to say other doctrines on which we may disagree are basically unimportant. But as long as we agree on things that are essential to the gospel, two believers ought to be able to disagree without anathematizing one another when it comes to secondary issues like the mode or subjects of baptism, the timing of events associated with Christ’s return, or the finer nuances of biblical ecclesiology.

I totally thought you knew that he was...I am sorry! I totally thought you knew that he was a hardcore preterist!!! My bad!!!<br /><br />Here are some articles discussing some of the claims he makes in his book "The Apocalypse Code." He basically implies that anyone who believes in the rapture has no understanding of the Bible and they get their theology from the "Left Behind" series. He believes that end time prophesies and the "anti-Christ" and all that was fulfilled in AD 70 by the destruction of Jerusalem and Caesar Nero. He even wrote his own fiction book about the end days, as a refutation of the Left Behind books, it is called "The Last Disciple."<br /><br />He believes that the church has replaced Israel and that Israel is the "whore of Babylon" and should not have the land that was promised to Abraham in Genesis 15, because they rejected Jesus. <br /><br />Norman Geisler on Hank Hanegraaff's "Apocalypse Code" <br />http://normangeisler.net/articles/theology/Eschatology/ReviewOfHankHanegraffsBookApocalypseCode.htm<br /><br />Thomas Ice on Hank Hanegraaff's "Apocalypse Code" http://www.pre-trib.org/data/pdf/Ice-AReviewofHankHanegra.pdf <br /><br />When it comes to the basics of the gospel, Hank is fine. But his preterist beliefs have led many Christians into the apathy and confusion that characterizes much of the faith in these last days. According to him, there is no agenda for a one world (luciferian) government, world peace is coming, any man who unites the world in peace is fine, there will be no tribulation (that already happened), and there is nothing prophetic at all going on right now!!! My friend read his book and now is all confused about the Bible. He thinks we are not only crazy for believing in end times prophesy, but he thinks that we are just not smart enough to understand Hank, and we just follow what fiction books tell us. Because of course, Hank IS "THE BIBLE ANSWER MAN."<br /><br />Anyways, glad to share this with you. Even though preterism isn't total and complete cult beliefs, I figured that since your whole blog is about the end times prophesies being fulfilled that you would probably want to steer clear of a teacher that mocks everything you stand for.<br /><br />May God bless you as you continue to share the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-37345330709767833432012-06-04T07:20:56.477-04:002012-06-04T07:20:56.477-04:00I haven't done a study on him. For the article...I haven't done a study on him. For the article I wrote, I listened to that answer in Hank's Q&A, which I liked, plus three others on his website, which I found no issue with. I read two essays on his site. I read the 'beliefs section' on his webpage. He answers questions as quickly and thoroughly, based on scripture and encourages others to research for themselves. I read the Wiki entry on him and read the statements on his web site. I found no biblical issue in that short search. If he is condescending to people about the rapture then it sounds like a personality issue, not a theological one. <br /><br />If there are theological issues, then let's discuss them. What are they?Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-66380914025539417772012-06-04T02:09:15.670-04:002012-06-04T02:09:15.670-04:00Good stuff : )

You have written multiple articles about their false beliefs. And yet they have more in common with your beliefs than the "Bible Answer Man."<br /><br />This is your blog. I like it. And you can write about what you want. I just thought it was weird since Hank is so condescending to people that believe in the rapture and all. <br /><br />Anyways, God bless you!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-19362582312289376572012-06-02T12:06:31.645-04:002012-06-02T12:06:31.645-04:00Checking these out~Thanks!
