This is the very last installment in the protracted debate with Jerry McDonald. Brother Preston and interested readers: The proposition we have been discussing for my affirmative states: “Resolved: The Bible teaches that the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection and the Judgment will occur at the end of the current Christian age.” While I have been in the affirmative…
I appreciate the opportunity to engage in this exchange, although I must say that Jerry’s approach is more than troublesome. He has changed positions repeatedly on key verses, all the while denying it. He has argued for the authority of uninspired men over the inspiration of scripture. Then, ironically, he has openly rejected the historical testimony that refutes him.…
Brother Preston and interested readers: The proposition is: “Resolved: The Bible teaches that the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection and the Judgment will occur at the end of the current Christian age.” I appreciate the opportunity to, once again, be back in the affirmative of this part of the debate. As I said, in an earlier article,…
I too appreciate the opportunity to engage in this exchange, although I must say that Jerry’s approach is more than troublesome.

It has been several months since Jerry McDonald submitted an article in our discussions. He has been in bad health. This is his last affirmative in our discussion.
After all of these months since Jerry’s last, you would think he could come up with better arguments, but, he clearly cannot. If it were not so serious, it would be funny. For instance, Jerry challenges me: “Deal with my syllogisms.” This coming from the man that openly stated that he would not address my syllogisms!
After five months, McDonald has finally submitted his third affirmative, which we are presenting here. ***********
Hick’s -V- Preston DebatePreston’s Final Negative I appreciate the opportunity to engage in this debate, although I wish Olan would have actually engaged in debate, rather than merely “preaching.” Olan says I engaged in personal attacks. No, I simply pointed out that Olan made some blatantly false claims about what he had said. Now, it IS embarrassing to be exposed…
This is my final essay of the debate. I appreciate the privilege of participating. I want to thank Robert for hosting us on this list and to thank the listers for being patient through these lengthy presentations. I sincerely hope it is helpful and that it will continue to be helpful to many folks in the future who are seeking…
Don K. Preston’s Third Negative Bless Olan’s heart! He just gets worse and worse! Olan is simply “preaching” not exegeting. He is not debating; he is pontificating. Oh, well, such is the situation. So, let me proceed. REVELATION 11Another case of Olan falsely claiming I misrepresented him.I asked him to SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY the city “where the Lord was slain.” He…
