The History Of Hyperpreterism

It implies that if you DON'T believe in this, then you must be deceiving. My problem is that it's argumentative, and those who do not wish to participate in the belief are a target for boastful statements that they are "right" and you are wrong. The Bible has been twisted to meet the need. The statement about the Bible NOT meant for ANY of us is quite contradictory to thier constant use of it to prove points. If it was not meant for ANY of us in THIS generation, then why use it at all?

I'm just sad because I lost a really good friend over this and he's not the only one. There was another friend that I used to be very close to. We had been friends for many years and we don't talk at all now because of this belief. Because I wouldn't "go" for it then, and I'm not going for it now. I felt an evil when I read writings from Charles Martin "The crucial missing link" It was completely bogus to me.

I think the final thing I want to say is that my (our) belief in the Christ coming doesn't even hurt anyone at all. False teachings come and go, but the "word" stands true doesn't it. My problem is the my friend is being deceived. He can't "see" because he's TOO far gone in this lie. There are OBVIOUS signs of prophesy being fulfilled, but he still can't see them. He's blinded. God told us that we would have understanding, when we see truth, and he can't see. It's right here and he can't see :(
