If anyone says this letter was written flippantly, they will never know how sad it is for many of us to be included in this warning towards Gary Demar. Gary is one of the kindest, gracious and intelligent men I know, and yet, our concern is not some mere secondary issue but the very core of the Creed: the Second Coming.
I will develop this a bit more in my substack, but Dr. Sandlin’s letter is a forthright address to our concerns for our dear brother.
We are all preterists…. some a little more than others…
Just as we are all Calvinists… some a little less than others.
Gary addresses all the passages the critics say teach a “future bodily visible” return of Christ and shows that those passages actually speak of imminence and apply to Christ’s AD70 parousia. Gary has nailed his 95 thesis on the doors of Wittenberg and is ushering in a New Reformation: Full Preterism…the revelation that Christ and is Kingdom are here now.
