Below is a recent comment made on a discussion board by Hyper-Preterist Ed Burley. I could not resist publishing these comments to show how Hyper-Preterism has really kept the "unity of the faith." "We are the absolutely worst cult in the history of the world!!!!
"I mean, take a look at Truth Voice 2008. We screwed up big time. We had the keynote speaker being an advocate of eternal conscious torment, the host as an annihilationist, and a few rabble-rousers who are called "universalists" in the crowd.
"In addition, we had young earth creationists (one actually speaking), old earth creationists, and covenant creationists (also among the speakers). To boot, it seems like I roomed with a theistic evolutionist. Sheesh, the people that are allowed in this cult!
"We had Calvinists, Arminians and quasi-universalists all signing a declaration of support for preterism.
"We had infant baptizers, dunkers, none-baptizers all sitting in the audience.
"We had a guy speaking who thinks that Hades and hospitality have been grossly misunderstood by the general population of Christians over the centuries (and I just heard that he's insane), and some hick from Oklahoma who only wanted to talk about LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Talk about cultish!
"There was even a hippie looking guy from the Salvation Army who has the strange idea that God wants us to take care of the poor. And let's not forget that Emergent bunch...
"There was ONE GUY who actually claimed that the author of the books of John was actually LAZARUS. Can you believe that?"
