I have discovered your website and bought your book and am halfway done reading it. I was originally researching things to do with today's organized church system because I've been struggling with doctrines such as the rapture, dispensationalism, etc and not really finding answers within my IFB church belief system. They will not budge on their beliefs but I keep finding holes in their doctrines and I must admit I am very discouraged because I am terribly confused. Your book certainly has shown me points about the so called rapture of the futurists that I havent considered before and certainly probably won't be able to discuss with my fellow brothers and sisters in my IFB church. I have been earnestly seeking the truth but there are so many doctrines, beliefs, ideas, opinions and things of that nature that make me more confused than anything else. Some make a lot of sense, but then I read where it is refuted and there I am, confused again. It seems I just can't arrive at any concrete info. I have never really labeled myself as a pre-tribber, post, a mill, or any other term used to "fit in" with any one certain denomination. But I see where preterists have many strong points. Some of which I've agreed with long before knowing it came from preterism. My main questions would be, if Jesus already returned, then what in the world are we doing here? If there is no tribulation, rapture, or even 2nd coming of Christ to look forward to, what am I alive for? I just dont get it....i should probably finish reading the book, lol. Anyway, thanks for your labor in writing your book. If anything it has opened my eyes to some things i otherwise probably wouldn't have found.😊 Dont give up, sometimes it takes time for people to catch on. A lot of us are waking up to the idea that all of our denomination churches arent teaching truth and feel God is calling us out. So maybe you'll get more people to get your book. Blessings brother in Christ.❤
I've just discovered you, and I can relate to the silencing you received when you asked the serious eschatological questions. The Lord began revealing the truth to my husband and I when we were studying Daniel 9 over a year ago. We were praying intensely and God downloaded truth we had never heard or considered. Then we researched and discovered preterism. Now we find ourselves with no church family, after being instrumental in our local church for many years. I was excited to read of your Facebook bible studies, but I can't seem to find them under meat not milk. Also, the Bamboozled Believers Facebook page hasn't had posts since 2017. I understand life gets busy...if you can guide us in how to connect with other likeminded Christians, we would appreciate it. I will look into purchasing your book (favorable reviews.) I have enjoyed your essays.
Hi Georgia, I haven't promoted my book on Facebook for about three years and I have ignored my website. I'm not a Facebook kind of person and I got discouraged because I wasn't getting any royalty cheques from Amazon and that meant that nobody was reading the book. Then a few weeks ago I got a big cheque, so I now estimate that about 5,000 people have read the book. I should have persevered. If you want to see the lessons, go to BamboozledBelievers.com and look under "meat not milk". There you will find ten lessons... there should be many more, but as I said, I got discouraged and stopped writing. The "Bible believing" churches that I frequent don't actually study the Bible and the pastors are intimidated by what I know. So, it is not easy being a preterist/Christian. I hope that you can find like-minded believers with whom you can fellowship. I don't know where you live, but Ed Stevens of the International Preterist Association is, in my opinion, the world's leading preterist. Contact him and he can give you information on preterist groups in your area and can also sell you his books. I recommend "Expectations Demand a First Century Rapture."
