I purchased the full rights to my wonderful theme music. I thank Mark Blasco for the wonderful job he did in creating it. That purchase means that I am definitely in for the long haul.

PS: I posted a response at Gary DeMar’s blog to his latest Olivet post. What are the chances of it getting approved? About the same chances as my endorsing Vista? Yeah, I’d say that is about right.

Ep. 15 is the ninth of an ongoing verse by verse study of the Olivet Discourse as recorded in Matthew 24 and is intended to be an audio companion to the written commentary It’s Not the End of the World located at http://www.preteristsite.com/plain/warrenend.html. The topic in this episode is Matthew 24:16-20:

. . then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

Important Podcast News

I am taking about two weeks off as I am overloaded with some other projects, so I will not even be thinking of starting preparation for the next episode until then. So it will be three to four weeks until the next episode, unless I finish my other projects sooner. And it is likely that the next one will be Kicking Some Left Behind Part Two, but I haven’t decided yet. I have some notes written for that already, so I might do that while it is fresh in my head. Having fresh Left Behind in your head in not a pleasant experience.

Baby Pictures

I have temporarily misplaced my camera. I will post the baby pictures in a separate post.

 

 Ep. 15 - Run Like..... Heck: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This is part of a somewhat humourous critique that I will be doing on the audio version of Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. This is the first part and barely gets into the opening chapter of the first book. I introduce why I am doing this to begin with and why, although I am handling this is a joking manner, infantile reduction of Christianity in American Christianity is a major problem.

Issues Discussed

• Only being able to talk about Christianity - i.e. being that embarassing weird guy at Church.
• Being obsessed with the “End Times” and the “Rapture” - i.e. the Rapture is not the Gospel nor is it our calling to wait around to be snatched out of the world.
• Christian cliches - i.e. “Christians aren’t perfect, they are just forgiven.” “Real Men Love Jesus”. “In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned.”
• Using scare-tactic eschatology as a witnessing tool.
• Representing that rapturism is the straight-forward teaching of the Bible without question.
• Carnal exaltation of ethic Israel.
• When the literalists find Russian bombers and modern nations in passages that speak of wooden weapons.
• Newspaper exegesis.

I had a podcast ready to upload tonight but it appears that I upgraded to the newest WordPress too quickly as the podcasting plug-in isn’t yet compatible.  The developer for PodPress does the work for free in his spare time and does wonderful work, so patience is a must.  So far, PodPress has given a date of about July 27th for a fix.  It is possible that my perpetual WordPress ninja hero cirisme may be able to revert the database back, but I don’t want to burden him - he helps me so much already.  Stay subscribed to the posts rss for more news.

 Ep. 13 - Can I Get a Witness?: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I had a question graciously posed to me about my pen-name that I plan on posting a short episode on so that everyone is educated on the topic and taking a look at my notes for the next installment on the Olivet Discourse, there is a real possibility I might be able to get those two things uploaded this weekend. That section of Scripture is not going to take as long as I thought or … I am missing part of my notes.

And maybe…. I have had a little fun just laughing at Left Behind, so maybe that too.

Remember if you are a podcaster and want to exchange promos provided we don’t find each other’s shows objectionable, shoot me an email. I love to support the podcasting community. I have one for the next Olivet installment, but nothing after that.

Ep. 12’s topic is a follow-up to the two-part Episode 8 “There’s Something About Gary” and discusses the comments made in several blogs after those episodes as well as Gary DeMar’s continued ambiguity in his radio programs with specific audio examples given.

And one more thing….

• Unite and Conquer - despite my opposition to their particular eschatologies, any non-preterists who affirm orthodox eschatology are my brethren. Sometimes in our fallen state other things get in the way of showing this unity, but no matter our own failings, we are ineffably bound together in Christ. To attempt to partner with heretics to attack secondary doctrines of other brethren can obscure, but cannot sever, that bond. However it is disobedience. What fellowship hath darkness with light? If we are so zealous with our particular point of view that we would rather a brother or sister embrace heresy or abandon the faith because they have different eschatological positions than us, there is something out of whack. If you are a futurist, and anything I am saying is disturbing to you in a way that is causing doubt or heresy to arise in your heart - don’t listen. There is a time and season for everything. Now is not your season for this issue. I would rather all of Christendom become non-preterist than for one of the brethren to embrace hyperpreterism or abandon the faith altogether. Zeal can be a four-letter word.

 Ep 12- Gary, Gary quite contrary, what does your doctrine sow?: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Ep.11 is the sixth of an ongoing verse by verse study of the Olivet Discourse as recorded in Matthew 24 and is intended to be an audio companion to the written commentary It’s Not the End of the World located at http://www.preteristsite.com/plain/warrenend.html. The topic in this episode is Matthew 24:9-13:

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

We will examine if this verse fits in with a first century fulfillment.
