Foolishness: “I consider debating to be a total waste of time.” Wisdom: “The first to state his case seems right, until his opponent begins to cross-examine him.” Proverbs 18:17 If the two-page, surface-level, inaccurate article that Reagan wrote against Pre-wrath recently is any reflection of what his competency would be like in a debate, it [...]

Posted in Update on the Prewrath vs. Pretribulational Debate
August 13th, 2009 
Alan Kurschner Some things just speak for themselves: From: Dr. David Reagan Alan Good to hear from you. I consider debating to be a total waste of time. Have a blessed day in the Lord. In Jesus, Dave Reagan (This rebuff is in response to my challenge here.)
An Open Debate Challenge to Dr. David Reagan of Lamb & Lion Ministries
August 11th, 2009 Alan Kurschner [Update on the Debate] In this article, pretribulational teacher David R. Reagan facilely describes the prewrath rapture, which was not all together accurate. He responds to the Prewrath rapture by attempting to refute the Prewrath rapture interpretation that the seals are not God’s wrath. Further, he does not recognize the Biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s [...]
What Did the Early Church Fathers Teach on the Timing of the Second Coming?
August 4th, 2009 Alan Kurschner This presentation on what the early church taught was given last October in O’Fallon Missouri at an eschatology forum. There are three speakers who had twenty minutes each to give their case: Steve Gregg (Preterist), Charles Cooper (Prewrath), Thomas Ice (Pretribulational). I have included Steve Gregg’s presentation because I want you to hear what a [...]
A Response to Gary DeMar and Preterism
June 12th, 2009 Alan Kurschner This week on Gary DeMar’s radio program he responded to the Prewrath position, briefly. For those who do not know Gary DeMar, he is a preterist author and teacher. Listening to his comments on the Prewrath position, I found them surface-level at best. Basically, his conclusion was: since Prewrath shares a futurist approach to Matthew [...]

For those who may not know, Showers wrote one of the more popular books critiquing the Prewrath position, The Pre-Wrath Rapture View. “The first to state his case seems right, until his opponent begins to cross-examine him.” (Proverbs [...]

Thomas Ice Turns Down Debate Challenge from Charles Cooper
March 14th, 2007 Alan Kurschner I would not be commenting on Thomas Ice’s refusal to defend his pretribulational position in a public moderated debate with Cooper if he had simply wrote back to me saying, “Thank you, but I am not interested.” Instead, his ostensible reasons for not debating Cooper and haughty comments about the Prewrath Rapture ensued into a [...]
