✝ READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING: The purpose of this UA-cam channel is to provide a theological education for those who want to learn. If you have a question, I will answer it. But the comment section of UA-cam is not conducive to long complicated debates nor is it the best use of our time. I WILL DO A LENGTHY SERIES ON ROMAN CATHOLICISM AND ANSWER ALL ROMAN CATHOLIC ARGUMENTS IN THAT SERIES. All trolls will be blocked. May you grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.✝
Perhaps you could have prefaced the comments on the book of Revelation as your personal opinion, since you are fully aware other Christians do not share the preterist view?
That would be stating the obvious. I grew up in Dispensationalism so I’m well aware of other perspectives. When I make the comment I provide a resource for viewers further study. It’s also a means of “advertising” a series I’ll do in the future. I don’t ever recall hearing a dispensationalist, a Baptist, a Lutheran or whatever follow every assertion with “that’s my personal opinion.” In fact, for over a century dispensationalism has dominated American evangelicalism and yet historically it’s a novelty. I’ve yet to hear John MacArthur or anyone else say in a sermon or message regarding their understanding of Matthew 24 or The Revelation… “and that’s my opinion.”
I READ ALL TBE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE BE THEY OF THE Canon or not. THE LIVING Holy.Spirit Comforter WILL rightly Divide all things, AND I fear not or have need the ideas of men which should or not be chosen to be placed in the Cannonized Bible!

If a book is in the Bible.... it is by definition "canon." What books are you reading that are NOT canon?
