These Hyper Preterists, Full Preterists, Covenant Eschatology teachers are consumed and obsessed with talking about their 70ad doctrine. That’s why their books are given priority over the Bible. The will select verses, change definitions of certain words or phrases, write a book on the subject, challenge someone to a debate and promote their wares. And the debates and arguments are atrocious. A lot of preachers for example might be preparing for the debate and have the rules and boundaries and discussion limits set. So they prepare under the terms. Who does the affirmative and the negative for each night. The subject, no matter what the rules say, will eventually go to Matthew 24 and Daniel chapter 12. Don K Preston is an expert of changing debate rules and will always go to Matthew 24 and talk about how the history of the Church has mis interpreted it. And if the topic of the Lord’s Supper is scheduled he’ll throw Old Testament, New Testament, scholarly quotes, and dirty and muddy the waters so much to and add his “scholarly quotes” from his latest book to distract people so they will forget what his position is on the question of should the Church still observe the Lord’s Supper.

This Hyper Preterism, Full Preterism, Covenant Eschatology, or even Transmillennialism it’s called, is nothing but another doctrine blown in by the wind. And like many others people have jumped on this relatively new doctrine and are making money. Max King, Don K Preston, and many more in this movement were Church of Crist preachers for decades. Preston even took part in a Church of Christ in Ardmore Oklahoma to change it’s name to Family of God. I asked him why they took down the name Christ and his answer was Family of God is a scriptural name. That didn’t answer my question, but I know why and I told him why. Something far worse than a name on a building was going on and they already had bigger problems than dropping “church of Christ at Ardmore Oklahoma” off a sign. Max Lucado made that practice famous in Texas and look now where he’s at. His latest fiasco was to apologize for his past scriptural teachings on living as a homosexual. But look how many books he has sold since he left the faith! He’s a best selling author and tickles millions of ears and pleases everyone who will listen. At least Don Preston and Max King know who they can sell to and who is not a gullible putz.

If we’re in sin a new doctrine won’t get us out. Buying books from these Hyper Preterists that tell us the judgment is past and there is no more sin won’t save us from the Judgment to Come as Jesus and the Apostles preached. These traveling salesmen can make a lot of money, but we can lose our soul for allowing them to deceive us.

                                  Traveling salesmen or preachers?

When the TV mega ministry preachers write a book one of the first things they will do is schedule appearances on TBN, TCT, Daystar, and any network that will have them and they can even buy late night infomercials if a network will sell them the time. One of my all time favorites is the best selling author/traveling salesman/preachers John Hagee. And my favorite book he sold was Four Blood Moons “Something is about to change”. It had an accompanying movie to go with it. And yes the movie had to be promoted too and so Hagee was on all the networks at various times promoting it. More on John Hagee at another time.

Max King, Don K Preston, Gary DeMar, Michael Sullivan, and a long long list of Hyper Preterists that came out of the Max King early 1970s Full Preterist movement, All of them who are at the forefront love to go debate at various churches and while they’re there they’ll just happen to mention 40 to 50 times (yes that’s hyperbole) their latest book. Their gimmick is new terms  and phrases to many like ‘Covenant Eschatology”, “Transmillennialism”, and lots of other terms that are literally new and that way in order to be able to understand these concepts better, you have to buy a book or CD, or subscribe to a newsletter.

You cannot understand Hyper Preterism, or Covenant Eschatology, unless you have a library of extra Biblical resources and they are more than happy to oblige. Don K Preston even has his own publishing company now I guess so someone will publish his books. His You Tube Channel called “Morning Musings” has a new video each and every morning 4 to 5 days a week. I  have been watching for quite some time. I used to subscribe to the channel.  With this guy, each and every morning it’s book after book and bundle deals and a new book coming and this bundle is so cheap you can’t afford not to buy it. Look, I’m not against making a buck or selling ridiculous books. But his base has stagnated at about 5.5k subscribers with about 5 to 7 hundred views with each day’s video. Years ago he would get sometimes over 6k views. But thankfully his faithful audience have either given up on this false doctrine or at worst got bored with him. I hope the reason is people seeing through the nonsense. The reason I unsubscribed to the channel is one morning he just flat out began asking for money. It reminds you of the mega ministries and how they have to beg for money to buy their custom tennis 5k tennis shoes and what not. But Don Preston is the president of “Preterist Research Institute” of Ardmore Oklahoma and sells his books and who knows why he would need viewer money to do a You Tube channel. It costs next to nothing and actually pays once you have enough viewers and subscribers. He does retore old Mustangs and trucks, and I personally know those things are costly to feed, just saying. Those of you that know me know I have restored a few in my day too. And I know if you don’t have deep enough pockets you can’t keep playing with those toys because the profit is not enough when you sell one. Again, just say’in.

I’m not against books to help us study. Homer Haley is one of the few Church of Christ preachers who wrote various commentaries. Thanks to the internet and even Google, yes even Google can be used for good, we can do research in minutes or hours that used to take days or weeks and wasn’t always cheap. But Full Preterism is not like the Gospel of Christ. The gospel is understandable IF we take the time to study the Bible. We all know there are hard parts in scripture at times. That’s why the Church assembles and has Bible studies and we use commentaries and class materials and have teachers and preachers and Elders and Deacons to work together and help us all.

The Hyper Preterists have things to sell. You won’t know what “Transmillennialism” is unless you buy a book or two. You won’t know what Universalism is unless you study from Doug King’s books or attend his “non profit” Presence International. Integral Theology | PRESENCE There’s nothing non profit about it except it’s tax free status. Max King and his son Doug are the result of where Hyper Preterism leads. They share man’s “Oneness with God” now. Atheism comes next if it sells more books.

If we need extra material to understand the basics of a doctrine you can KNOW it’s false. If you have a doctrinal question and the answer is 40 questions back at you and “you need to buy this book”, and “you don’t understand ancient Hebrew or Greek” then RUN!, Run away fast.

Remember these scriptures if you check on some of the names and sites and places, or if you simply search for Don K Preston books, just keep these verses in mind. On one hand I don’t want someone getting sucked into these people but on the other these people are spiritually dangerous and I want to warn others.

2 Timothy 3:14-17

But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Read the entire chapter of 1 Timothy 6. The first 2 verses talking about servants and masters and how to treat each other then in verse 3-5 Paul talks about what leaving the doctrine of the Lord leads to…

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself
