I don't know yet, if the Lord would have me leave here yet.
Thunder, I hope you won't leave. I just got here a few days ago, but I am already considering leaving because of the preterists. I have tried to find a thread in the End Times that is not dominated by preterist talk. If there is a thread that the preterists are not interested in, I need to find it fast. I didn't register at ChristianForums.com so I could learn about preterist or any other kind of terist. I came here to read and hopefully get in some wonderful discussions about the second coming of Christ. It is exciting to look for our King of Kings, it is exciting to think and talk about JESUS. I want Jesus to be the center of our discussions, I don't want people trying to take my mind away from where Jesus wants my mind to be.
Do you know what is wonderful? To read a post that is inspired by the Holy Spirit, when my eyes read the words the Spirit reveals Himself to me in such a glorious way that I am so blessed and full of God I can feel his presence. I recently read a post by Josiah that made me feel that way, his words were kind and gentle and full of the Spirit. But the very next post was by a preterist that took my mind off of the Holy Spirit and caused me to, once again, feel like leaving this board.
So I don't know what the answer is. Why does satan NOT want us to discuss the wonders of the End Times---maybe that is the REAL question we should all be asking ourselves. For if we discuss the End Times, if we think about the fact that Jesus could return at any moment, then we will keep our hearts and minds on Jesus---and satan does NOT want us to do that. He will devise every plan possible to confuse us, but mostly satan wants to DISTRACT us from what God would have us thinking about and praying about.
If I am listening to the radio, and a song I really like is being played, I will turn the radio up so I can hear it better. But if the dog is barking and the neighbor is racing the engine on his car and the TV is already too loud, I will probably just turn the radio off because there is so much distraction going on that I can't even hear the song anyway. In the same way, my spirit can't hear and consider the words of a spirit filled post when it is drowned out with words that ask me to stop looking for my Beloved Savior!
