To get people to reject it, so that they are excited about the historic Gospel and speak about it instead of thinking the bible is a Rubic's cube that some guy in 1800 "finally solved." The historic Gospel is that the resurrection of Christ for justification from our sins fulfills the promises to Israel, Acts 13:32+. No amount of MAD material whatsoever helps in the spread of that, which is our mission. I don't know what MAD's mission is except to prop themselves up as 'got it all figured out' and I don't care. This is why they are so defensive about it and calling people fools and idiots on a regular basis. sorry, but it reminds me of Judaism.
No, it is because you ARE a fool and an idiot.
Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
That is you and your so called "doing the history" (short for an overreliance on endless books "about") - a fool - in his slowness of heart to believe all that the prophets had spoken concerning Who it was that would make the land promise possible at last.
Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Your mess is the very origin of the Preterist notions you hold to - its' very origin, the need to go outside Scripture in search of answers, out of a need to solve for seeming contradictions as a result of your school's mishandling of Romans 9-11.
But, as you have admitted; you "could care less."
Obviously, here you still are, caring less :chuckle:
