Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Are you a preterist? No, I'm a tarzan!

Are you a preterist?
Some folks have been insinuating to men in the church, "Pastor Lau is a preterist." 
No, I'm a tarzan! 🤣🤣

In a sermon note here, Preterism is defined thus:
"Preterism: Generalized, all prophecies were fulfilled by 70 A.D. They call their doctrine full preterism, consistent preterism, or realized eschatology. Most Christians have never heard of it, due to its recent origin and few followers. With their timing verses, they bind every prophecy to Jerusalem’s destruction, even prophecies without time parameters. Amazingly, they hold that events Christians have always taught were future … actually happened by 70 A.D.! This includes Christ’s return, the resurrection of the dead, the Day of Judgment, the destruction of Satan, the millennium, the new heaven and new earth, etc." (red-bold emphasis is mine).

The above excerpt is taken from here https://letgodbetrue.com/sermons/index/year-2012/preterism/ 

I also have always believed that Christ’s second coming, the general resurrection of the dead, the great day of judgment, the destruction of Satan, and the new heaven [SINGULAR] and new earth are ALL FUTURE, that is, not yet fulfilled; the millennium is NOW, the gospel millennium, the ‘1000’ years, is between the first and the second comings of Jesus Christ, is being fulfilled.

So, whoever insinuates and tale bears that I’m a preterist is just a dull joker, if not wicked for stumbling friends. I'm more likely a tarzan! 🤣🤣🤣

Stop the silly antic of throwing labels around. 
*antic: ADJECTIVE, archaic: grotesque or bizarre.
Such antic is below the dignity of one who calls himself a Christian. 
Shame, shame. 
Bearing false witness is still a sin.
