Here’s my open letter to Gary DeMar after he put out feelers concerning a lawsuit against me on his page.

An open letter to Gary DeMar…

1. Gary DeMar blocked me about 6 years ago immediately after I made one gentle comment on his wall. Gary is a coward for now making this post on his wall without me being able to defend myself. Get some guts and brass Gary!

2. I welcome a lawsuit if you want to go down that road Gary.

3. I don’t operate in the 501c3 Churchianity system that you and your admirers operate in. I’m a member of THE Church that Jesus paid the price in full for on the cross with his biological blood and body sacrifice.

4. I’m not contacting leadership at your Cultural Pseudo-Christianity brick and mortar church you belong to in order to bring a grievance against you. Those men mean nothing to me. I have a local church with brothers and sisters I daily fellowship with, and they are the important ones I’m accountable with. However, I will send a hard copy of this letter through snail mail to your church and other churches/persons/ministries, so that accountability can take place.

5. I have only one mediator between me and God. Jesus. I’m baptized with the Holy Spirit by God and born again by God for 40 years now. Deal with me. Be a man, and not a coward with what you just did on your wall. You and everybody else are slandering me on your wall, because you blatantly instigated and fomented such slander. Get some brass, unblock me, and allow me the opportunity to discuss this with both you and your admirers with INTENSE UGLINESS AND HATRED being displayed towards me.

6. I’ll confirm what I originally wrote in my post about you. You have most definitely joined the Max King Cult called “Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism”. And yes, they are not true Christians. It’s a cult out from Max King in 1971. I get that you are claiming that you’re not a Full Preterist, BUT YOUR DOCTRINE THAT YOU’RE NOW TEACHING DEMANDS IT! I can easily prove this because I have been studying the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult out from Max King for the past 25 years. I know ALL the ins and outs of this cult, even as the Max King Cult members love to try and “kill the messenger” and “poison the well” with me. Many leaders in this cult have had no choice but to block me because I radically exposed their heresy and blasphemy in front of all their followers and disciples.

7. I challenge you to a live 2 hour discussion on YouTube concerning this matter. I totally welcome the opportunity to blatantly show your doctrine for what it is. I absolutely love systematic theology where all the pieces must fit. There’s and old phrase that says “The Devil is in the details”. Let’s expose the details Gary. Let’s dig underneath the surface rhetoric. Let’s dig deep. Let’s define terms. Let’s see what’s hidden. My communication skills are very good, and I’m laser focused and up for a discussion anytime.

8. My next video on my YouTube channel will be on this issue that you started on your wall about a lawsuit against me. My last video was on Don Preston (the top teacher in this cult) and his blatant denial of the efficacy and validity of the biological blood and body sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, in favor of a “40 year Atonement process” that “began with a spiritual death of Christ before a biological death on the cross” and “ended with the high priest Christ coming out of the heavenly holy of holies at his return and second coming in AD 70 to deliver salvation to a metaphorical resurrected Israel as the saved-in-AD 70 Church where Christ’s Presence now dwells”. That is NOT the Jesus Christ of the Bible, and that is NOT the Gospel/Atonement of the Bible! I realize that you might say that you don’t believe this, but you now teach the core heretical doctrine in this cult and you have been keeping your intimate koinonia fellowship with these false teachers.

9. Who else teaches a “parousia” (coming, presence, arrival) of Christ in Spirit in AD 70 at the alleged and NON-EXISTENT “end of the Old Covenant Age/World in AD 70”?! Oh! That’s right! That would be YOU Gary! Do your dedicated lifelong admirers and financial supporters know THIS about you?! Or are you just slowly crossing over into the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult while gently and gingerly breaking this news to all your lifelong supporters. I imagine that you want to “bring them along” in a clever and calculated fashion – break in the new doctrine that you’ve now adopted softly with them. It might be too much for them to handle it all at once ya know. God knows that you already have the FULL SUPPORT of the heretics and blasphemers in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterisnm Cult! They LOVE having you on board! They are super proud as if they have now arrived! “If Gary DeMar is for us, who can be against us?!” Many of them (I know them by name because of the past 25 years of interacting with them) showed up on your slanderous malicious post about me, and they were bashing on me really really bad – with super ugly and hateful things to say about me – and it all went untouched and unaddressed by you! It’s almost as if you were fishing for it. Isn’t is amazing that these very ugly and truly self-righteous admirers of yours accuse me of the very things that they are doing! Yet it’s totally okay when they do it with the full support from a “big shot” like you. I expose their false Christ and their false gospel, and these self-righteous people with their false Christ and false gospel want to take me down with extremely ugly hearts and inflammatory vitriolic speech. This is what happens when somebody boldly exposes an evil program or system. You’re weaving quite the tangled web Gary!

10. You do know who Don Preston is Gary? Right? Of course you do! You were just very recently a speaker alongside his deceived star student and disciple Zach Davis. Zach Davis and Don Preston regularly appear together on YouTube channels, and they recently spoke at a “Covenant Creation” conference that Tim Martin and Jeff Vaughn held. Of course you know these names well! These are your new buddies in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult. Should I expand on exactly what “Covenant Creation” is for everybody reading this?! It’s Max King’s “Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism” heresy on steriods! In 2002, Tim Martin and Jeff Vaughn devised a clever way to get rid of the conclusive Universalism that the founder of this cult, Max King, took on. They made Adam be “the first old covenant man” biologically born out from pagan parents on a billions of years old Earth – with millions or billions of people on Earth before Adam. Their doctrine demands this (but they’re slick enough to say, “We never say such things in our book.”) They define Adamic death as a “spiritual death” that is “Adam was made to be a servant when he lost being made a covenant son of God”. Like Don Preston, they insist that Adam’s biological body had absolutely nothing to do with his alleged “spiritual death”. They all have a true form of Gnosticism! They apply an insane amount of hyper myth, metaphor, allegory, symbolism, hyperbole, and poetry to the Creation account in Genesis. It’s an insanely convoluted special code and system they made up to interpret Genesis “correctly” according to them. Remember, this is out from Max Kingism! And remember, you keep your intimate koinonia fellowship with these heretics in Max Kingism! They make the Creation account be a metaphoric creating of covenant, temple, heaven, earth, and more. “Heaven and Earth” is metaphoric, poetic, and symbolic language for “covenant”, “old covenant Israel”, “old covenant temple”, “old covenant land”, “old covenant age”, “old covenant world”, “old covenant realm”, “old covenant creation”, and more. Max King began this cult in 1971 with his first book, and his heretical foundation in his “framework” (that is still used by everybody in this cult today) is the mantra “the old covenant age/world ended in AD 70″. They claim the alleged “new covenant age/world started breaking in 40 years earlier”, around AD 30. They have a heretical “40 year covenant age/world/creation overlap” they teach.

11. Max King was a very charismatic Stone-Campbell churches of Christ minister when he started this cult in 1971, and he sucked in three other churches of Christ ministers to “put into them” his exclusive heretical doctrine, Ed Stevens (1975), William Bell (1980), and Don Preston (1990). These three direct disciples of Max King took Max King’s heretical “Covenant Eschatology” to the streets. This cult today is directly out from Max King and his direct disciples that learned his heretical framework. The whole cult has a heretical “40 year covenant change process for Israel” between the cross and AD 70. Max King systematized his heretical framework in his 784 page second book in 1987. If anybody wants to truly know if Max King came up with this framework that is being taught today in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult, just read Max King’s second book “The Cross and the Parousia of Christ”! This (“the cross” and “the parousia of Christ”) is Max King’s clever way of describing the bookends to his insane “40 year covenant change process and metaphoric resurrecting process for a corporate old covenant age people”! Oh yeah! These false teachers define “The Resurrection” as BOTH a “40 year process” AND “a singular event in AD 70”! They claim “Israel was metaphorically resurrected and saved in AD 70 as the Church”. THIS is how they define “the end of the Old Covenant Heaven and Earth” and the formal instituting of “the New Covenant Heaven and Earth” in AD 70 at the parousia (coming, arrival, presence) of Christ in AD 70”. My oh my Gary! That’s some wild stuff! Yeah! It’s really important to define terms, instead of trying to trick people with deceit and subterfuge in order to gain followers!

12. William Bell (polygamy advocate), Don Preston, Ed Stevens, Robert Cruickshank, Zach Davis, Mike Sullivan, and David Curtis are the top teachers in this cult, AND YOU HAVE BEEN REGULARLY KEEPING YOUR INTIMATE BROTHERLY FELLOWSHIP WITH THESE BLATANT HERETICS WHO HAVE A BLATANT FALSE JESUS CHRIST AND A BLATANT FALSE GOSPEL! So, yeah! Bring on a lawsuit! Let’s dig in! Let’s expose it all! Or, you can get some brass and unblock me, rather than you and all your admirers radically slandering me behind my back. Remember, you’re the one who blocked me about 6 years ago. Apologetics and Cult Studies has been my main thing for nearly as long as I’m saved. I’m an intense guy. Deeply passionate. Wildly loyal to truth in Scripture. I’ve got quite the background. I’ve come a long way, even as my old man (my sinful nature) can get the best of me at times. I’m unapologetic in who Jesus created me to be. I’m all in! You picked quite the fight with me Gary! You do know what the cult members that you’re now hanging out with say about “the sinful nature”, don’t you? They don’t believe in it! They say that they have now put on immortality and incorruption because Christ allegedly came to deliver this in AD 70. They claim that is was “corporate Israel” that was “metaphorically resurrected in AD 70”, and this “corporate Israel put on immortality, incorruption, glory, and perfection“ as it became “the corporate Church in AD 70”. They teach that “the body of the Resurrection” that Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15 and elsewhere is “corporate Israel” as “a corporate body Israel” in need of a “metaphoric resurrection”! Wow! And this “corporate body Israel” was finally “metaphorically resurrected in AD 70” as “the corporate body Church” that “was the body that put on immortality, incorruption, glory, and perfection! Wow! They have no answer for individual saints resurrected with individual personal bodies in the Resurrection they say took place in AD 70. They use all the “body” language that pertains to the Resurrection on their “corporate body Israel” that they say needed a metaphoric resurrection over a 40 year process leading up to AD 70. They obviously teach that THIS resurrected-in-AD-70 Church “body” is the true Church that you need to become a member in. Keep in mind, this is why they have their blasphemous “40 year Atonement process that ended in AD 70” – because they have their “high priest Christ come out of the heavenly holy of holies in AD 70 to deliver salvation to resurrected body Israel as the Church”! They have “the Church as a corporate body” get “resurrected” and “saved” in AD 70 at “end of the old covenant heaven and earth age/world/order/system/kingdom/creation”. This “corporate Church” was “corporate Israel” in need of a “covenantal status change in AD 70” at “the return and second coming of Christ in AD 70”. Wow! Wow! Wow! What did you get yourself into Gary?! You have been keeping your intimate koinonia fellowship with these blatant heretics Gary!

13. “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free!”

14. Here’s the thing… Being popular or extremely well educated in 501c3 Churchianity means nothing concerning the kingdom of God. People will “flock” to somebody in Cultural Pseudo-Christianity because their ears are getting tickled and their flesh is getting fed. ANYBODY who is charismatic can create a following. And in today’s pop-pastor, conference culture, and platforming culture that is intensely present, it’s all the more easy to suck people in. People follow after charismatic people who make them feel good. It’s about ear tickling and flesh feeding. It’s not about truth in Scripture. Platforming is the newest thing. You can platform somebody or get platformed, and it’s all about growing your base and getting followers. It’s about “You rub my shoulder and I’ll rub your shoulder”! It’s the new way of becoming somebody “important” and “popular” in Cultural Pseudo-Christianity. Along with this pop-pastor, conference culture, and platforming culture comes the cover up culture! My oh my is A LOT of stuff getting covered up!

15. Incidentally, the top teacher in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult for the past 25 or so years, Don Preston, teaches that “in the flesh” means “in the old covenant realm, location, and sphere”. Don Preston teaches that in 1 Peter 3:18, when “Jesus Christ was put to death in the flesh”, it means that “Jesus Christ was put to death in the old covenant realm, location, and sphere”! Oh my! That’s just one of MANY radically heretically false doctrines that he teaches! I have all the screenshots by the way! I’ve got the receipts! And remember Gary, you were just alongside some of these cult teachers on the same podium as a speaker at a Max King Cult conference in the past few months! I just watched five minutes of Don Preston and Zach Davis (his star student and disciple) yesterday teaching radical heresy that props up Max King’s “old covenant age being on the way out while the new covenant age was on the way in for 40 years” false teaching – along with them affirming that Paul teaches an alleged “corporate body” in 2 Corinthians 5 as “an old covenant corporate house/temple being destroyed while a new covenant corporate house/temple was being built for 40 years”! They don’t have any room for individual bodies in 1 Corinthains 15 or 2 Corinthains 5! They take Max King’s “corporate body view” (CBV) – though some Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult members are “individual body view” (IBV). In Don Preston’s video appearances, he is as EXTREMELY slick and devious and smooth and emotional and prim and proper as he could possibly be – as he sucks people into this cult! Don Preston has been teaching this cult doctrine for the past 35 years! He’s a pro by now for sure! Don Preston and William Bell are the top authorities in this cult. He has the performance down to a science! And he’s “putting it into” Zach Davis and anybody else that he can. Cults definitely have a culture! It’s totally insane that Don Preston cleverly and craftily teaches that “in the flesh means in the old covenant realm, location, and sphere” AND THEN HE GOES ABOUT BEING SUPER DECEPTIVE WITH HIS HERESY WHILE BEHAVING LIKE A GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN – WHICH IS HIM ABSOLUTELY BEING A MAN WHO IS 100% OPERATING IN THE FLESH – MEANING OPERATING IN HIS SINFUL NATURE WHILE DECEIVING PEOPLE WITH SLICK RHETORIC, PERSUASIVE WORDS, AND AN EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE! BUT THEY REDEFINED “IN THE FLESH”! That’s cult tactic stuff! They have no sinful nature (sarx, flesh) to deal with! The biological body has NOTHING to do with the “spiritual death” they have! It really is a form of Gnosticism! By the way, EVERYTHING is “COVENANTAL”! If you don’t have an answer, just make it be metaphor and say it’s “covenantal”!

16. Again, people who are not saved (fake Christians in Cultural Pseudo-Christianity) are sucked in by outward appearance and by how somebody makes them FEEL! Fake Christians who are not saved simply do not care about truth! They welcome blasphemous wolves in sheepskin with open arms, open ears, open hearts, and open bank accounts. Nothing new under the sun here.

17. CONCERNING THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH MAKING YOU FREE… If you have been truly baptized with the Holy Spirit by God and learning TRUTH IN THE BIBLE from him for the past 40 years, and somebody wants to feed you some words and terms that sound great – even straight out from the Bible – and if you have the Jesus Christ of the Bible and the Gospel of the Bible and you are a seasoned Berean that listens very closely, you just might find that they have different definitions to common Bible terms and that they are trying to feed you poison. And guess what? They can have doctorates. They can be pastors. They can be elders. They can be successful fathers. They can have successful marriages. They can be teachers. They can have very successful religious businesses. They can very popular. They can be a family man. They can appear gentle, reasonable, kind, smart, happy, etc. You have to scratch beneath the surface a little bit, AND YOU MUST BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT BY GOD AND KNOW TRUTH IN SCRIPTURE! Demons know the Bible way way better than us humans here on Earth! There are A LOT of fake Christians today who are performing in a corrupt system that rewards marketing, building a brand, being successful, being good looking, being charismatic, false love, false unity, compromise, ear tickling, flesh feeding, and more!

18. I don’t want any part of this system, even as I was very actively involved in it at one time. I have nothing to lose. I don’t care about my reputation. I just don’t care about a bunch of fakes in their personal death performing in a system that turns them on. I did 20 and 15 and 10 years ago. Not now. The blatant and EMBRACED lukewarmness is something I have steered away from a long time ago. I do care about a dying world, but not a bunch of self-righteous fakes who have made their bed in a perverted, compromised, and evil system. I don’t care! Say what ya gotta say! Do what ya gotta do! I don’t care what anybody says about me other than the Lord Jesus Christ, who is a literal human being man in glory in the highest Heaven right now with his self-same personal body that he was conceived with in the womb of Mary, that he walked on Earth with, that was put in a tomb for three days, that he was raised out from Sheol back into, and that he ascended into Heaven with 40 days after his resurrection. Jesus RIGHT NOW has this self-same body! One day, when I leave this world, I will be with Jesus where he is at right now.

19. Jesus did not have a mystical or hyper-spiritualized “parousia/coming/arrival/presence in AD 70” in any way. Jesus is not mystically here and present since AD 70 in some hyper-spiritualized way! And he did not “return a second time in the form and the nature of the Roman army destroying Jerusalem”. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY JESUS CHRIST RETURNED AND CAME BACK IN AD 70, YOU MUST VERY VERY VERY CLEARLY DEFINE THE FORM AND THE NATURE OF JESUS CHRIST AS HE DID THIS. THIS IS CHRISTOLOGY 101 STUFF! LET’S NOT BEAT AROUND THE BUSH AND BE SECRETIVE AND SCHEMING! What form and what nature did Jesus Christ come back with in AD 70? A clear succinct precise short answer would be great, so that everybody could read it and say “Ahhh! Okay! THAT’S what he believes was the form and the nature of Christ at his coming in AD 70!”

20. And while we’re at it, what specifically, exactly, and precisely was the way that those alive-on-earth saints in AD 70 EXPERIENCED “the change to immortality and incorruption” that was promised at the Resurrection and coming of Christ? If Jesus Christ came (parousia, presence, arrival) in AD 70, then the alive-on-earth saints were seized and caught up (harpazo) to meet (apantesis) Jesus Christ in the air TOGETHER WITH the resurrected-out-from-Sheol saints. What did these alive-on-earth saints go through and EXPERIENCE at their “change to immortality and incorruption” at the “coming of Christ in AD 70”? This is the very plain language of Paul about “harpazo” and “apantesis” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17! Let’s not do the whole hyper myth, metaphor, allegory, symbolism, hyperbole, and poetry thing on this one – like Don Preston, William Bell, and the other cults members hyper-spiritualize this “change to immortality and incorruption”. Don Preston says those alive-and-remaining-saints on Earth at “the second coming of Christ in AD 70” would have been jumping up and down for joy and dancing because the time of their vindication had come and their persecutors were getting persecuted in the slaughter that was taking place in Jerusalem – even their own relatives would have been getting slaughtered in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70! Don Preston says that he IS SURE that they would have been dancing and joyous about it all. THAT is how the top teacher in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult defines their “change to immortality and incoruption in AD 70” at “the second coming of Christ in AD 70”! Don Preston defines “the change to immortality and incorruption” at “the second coming of Christ in AD 70” as a “covenantal status change” for a group of “old covenant age people” (a “corporate body”) in “the metaphoric grave/sheol/hades of old covenant age spiritual death” who corporately went through a “metaphoric resurrection of Israel” – as this “old covenant age corporate people” went from being “in the old covenant age/world/order/system/kingdom/realm/location/sphere/ creation” (“Old Covenant Heaven and Earth” they say) to entering into the “new covenant age/world/order/system/kingdom/realm/location/sphere/creation” (“New Covenant Heaven and Earth” that say). Oh my! If somebody can’t see this blatant heresy here, then there’s no point in even discussing anything! Gary, surely you remember Don Preston. You’ve been hanging out with all of his disciples and buddies. You just did a Max King Cult conference with Zach Davis, Robert Cruickshank, Rick Welch, and Travis Drum – who are all loud and proud Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult adherents! Wow!

21. Gary, FOR THE SECOND TIME. I challenge you to a two hour discussion on Youtube. We can hash it out for all to see. There would be no more ambiguity and confusion concerning where each of us stands. But I promise you that I will dig in very very deep. I’ve been involved in Apologetics and Cult Studies for a very long time. I have truth in Scripture, and I know how to look out for people with poisonous bait on the hook. You blocked me 6 or so years ago when I very gently made a comment on your post back then. You didn’t even answer me. You saw that comment and you blocked me. I gently challenged you about what you were saying about the Old Heaven and Earth and the New Heaven and Earth. I’m confident that “you were on to me”. I’m confident that you could see where I was going with it. Around that same time that you blocked me, I also gently commented on Jeff Durbin’s wall and post because he was teaching “The New Covenant Heavens and Earth” at that time. This is Max King Cult doctrine, and Jeff Durbin was teaching it at that time. Guess what? Yep! Jeff Durbin blocked me without even responding to me! I call it the “metaphoric murder” that somebody commits when somebody wants to take somebody out by blocking them rather than getting exposed in front of their disciples and admirers. William Bell blocked me. Don Preston blocked me. Zach Davis blocked me. And others. As proven by your post Gary, the cult members say I’m “mentally ill” and all kinds of other very hateful and very ugly things to try and kill the messenger and poison the well. They don’t want to be exposed as they all build their little pop-pastor empires here in the world. The same goes for you. You made a radically slanderous post about me to clearly incite more and more slander in an attempt to kill the messenger. It’s damage control. It’s a smear campaign. It’s poisoning the well. It’s killing the messenger. It’s character assassination. It’s a form of doxxing. It’s flexing some Cultural Pseudo-Christianity muscle you think you’ve got. It’s you going about cancel culture. You want to cancel me so that you can move on with indoctrinating your followers in your new theology. I’ve already had all the top guys in the Max King Cult do this very same thing over the years. “Get rid of Eckhart and call in the troops to kill the messenger and poison the well by any means!” Of course at this point – since they are becoming more popular – they have their puppets, stooges, and disciples under them trying to kill the messenger and poison the well. They gave up trying to debate me in their pursuit of stardom. They’re “big shots” now ya know! They’ve reached “the untouchable stage” with many acolytes around them to buffer and protect them while they enjoy their reward now here on Earth. They’re “big shots” especially since the esteemed and prestigious Gary DeMar has come out of the closet and he’s keeping intimate koinonia fellowship with them!

22. FOR THE THIRD TIME, let’s have a two hour discussion. I’m an absolute piece of garbage nobody who is mentally ill to all your admirers on your post that you’re obviously proud of, so what would you possible have to lose if you and I went on YouTube for two hours and discussed all of this? It would be a walk in the park for you, and all you fans and followers would become even more enamored and enchanted with you. I challenge you to a discussion and I am ready at any time to do it. Perhaps you can first find the brass to unblock me. Again, you blocked me about six years ago – as I wanted to warn you about the Max King Cult. I did the same thing to Zach Davis about 2 years ago, and he did the same thing that you did – block me without discussion. I also directly challenged both William Bell and Don Preston to formal debates in personal discussions with them multiple times. They both backed down.

23. You guys talk a tough game and dish it out, but you can’t take it. I’m the one who should be suing you! If you knew all that Jesus has worked into my life and out of my life, you’d back down with your incredible hubris. There was even a veiled death threat to me in your malicious-intent post from somebody who despises me! I’ve got all the screenshots already. You and your new found Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult buddies are truly some very sick, ugly, evil, twisted, perverted, and self-righteous people! I’m not the one who is “ill”! You guys are! You have no idea what you got yourself wrapped up in Gary! I do! I saw the false Jesus Christ and the false gospel in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult many years ago. And the intense violence, ugliness, and abuse I have received from guys like William Bell and Don Preston is all on screenshots I have. They were even violent, abusive, hateful, and ugly with women who are honest and gentle in heart. I have the screenshots. Gary, why are okay with these guys who have such blatant heresy and blasphemy? What’s in it for you? More popularity? A bigger platform? Grow your religious business? Be the top dog? You’re hanging out with some shady, wicked, and evil characters, and you have now taken on the basic heretical doctrine in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult! That’s simply the clear truth that’s easily proven. Where do you go from here? I’m going to continue to do YouTube videos exposing all of this (and much more content on other things).

24. Oh! To gain the whole world in having people follow after you here in the world, only to forfeit your soul for all eternity in the Lake of Fire! Oh! That’s right! These top cult members redefined both “Hell” and “Satan”! “Satan” is now just literal people as the Jewish leadership that were adversaries and accusers that went up against God’s true people who were “being raised into the New Covenant Heavens and Earth for 40 years”, and Satan is not any literal supernatural being in an invisible dimension. “Old covenant apostate Israel” was “Satan” that was “cast into the metaphoric Lake of Fire”. The cult rhetoric and redefinition of terms goes on and on and on!

25. What 501c3 Churchianity calls “success” and being “popular”, and what Jesus calls success and being popular, are two completely different things!

26. FOR THE FOURTH TIME, Let’s have a two hour discussion on YouTube Gary. No excuses. A two hour discussion for everybody to see where each of us stands. If not, I get it. But then stop with the blatant slander, vitriol, hatred, and ugliness that you are obviously instigating, fomenting, and inflaming!

27. And again, concerning a lawsuit… If you’re led to so, I welcome it. But that wasn’t really what your post was about. You want some damage control. You want to get out ahead of it. You want to kill the messenger. You want cancel culture. You want to assassinate my character. And because you are a “big shot” in 501c3 Churchianity, you’re throwing your weight around. It’s just like when Stephen agitated and worked up his fellow Jews, and they conspired and killed him on the spot. Or any true disciple of Jesus who boldly exposes things. Or even Jesus, who was obviously murdered because he just didn’t know when to quit with the pushing, poking, prodding, and exposing of things. Why couldn’t they all just love and unify and go along to get along? You want to cancel this Richard Eckhart guy so you can show your followers that you got what it takes to knock down these “mean lost mentally ill guys” who come after you. And your followers (like Don Preston’s and William Bell’s) LOVE IT WHEN THEY SEE YOU BEHAVE THIS WAY! It’s one big flesh (sinful nature) feast and orgy!

28. William Bell and Don Preston can show you all kinds of deceitful and malicious tricks that amount to an intense hatred and ugliness that they have in doing exactly what you’re doing right now. I guess it didn’t take too long for bad company to infect you. If you could only see what I see when it comes to the clawing and kicking and punching and vitriol and hatred that you guys are doing to get to the top. You’ll lay anything to waste in order to get ahead! It’s sad to watch play out, but it’s been around since the beginning. Right now, Zach Davis (Don Preston’s star child) has “the hunger” in him for “big shot” status. And Don Preston is both protecting and “pouring himself into” Zach Davis big time. Don Preston found the guy to pass his mantle down to! I’m 100% convinced that the demonic is intensely involved in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult!

29. It’s all about climbing up another rung of the ladder. Becoming even more popular. Building a little empire and kingdom. Knock down anybody who is exposing you. Threaten a lawsuit against a guy who boldly says that he’s baptized with the Holy Spirit by God and born again by God for 40 years now. Good job Gary! You deserve a big round of applause! Big man! Look at you being all top dog and stuff! You’re going places! Maybe your name will be as big as some other really big names out there one day!

30. By the way, Don Preston, the top teacher in the Max King Cult who wrote over 30 books on Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism, says the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was ONLY FOR the alleged “40 year transition period” leading up to AD 70! Hmmm! Don Preston has come right out in an interview and stated that he has not received the Holy Spirit or had an experience with the Holy Spirit in the way the disciples did between ca. AD 31 and AD 70. Oh my! The top teacher in this cult, Don Preston, says that people after AD 70 do not receive the Holy Spirit the way they did prior to AD 70! Don Preston claims that is was just a first century phenomenon (ca. AD 31 to AD 70). Don Preston has been a top dog in this cult for 35 years! Gary, you’re keeping intimate brotherly fellowship with these guys in this cult! But you have a problem with me! A Christian who tells you that he has been baptized with the Holy Spirit by God, born again by God, and who has THE CORRECT JESUS CHRIST in the Bible as shedding his biological blood and giving his biological body as THE ONLY MEANS of payment and redemption for the Bride/Wife/Body/Church, and who is a literal human being man in Heaven right now with his self-same body that he had in the womb of Mary and while he was walking on Earth in his ministry. I don’t have a “spiritual death of Christ” while giving lip service to a biological death of Christ that merely “fulfilled types and shadows” – and I don’t have a mystical and hyper-spiritualized return of Christ in AD 70 – and I don’t have an insane “40 year Atonement process” – like the top teacher in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult, Don Preston! These are the guys you’re hanging out with Gary! Aren’t you and Robert Cruickshank good buddies?! He’s a major player and member in this cult who keeps his intimate koinonia fellowship with these other cult members too! Did I hear something about you writing a book with some of these guys? You’re in deep Gary!

31. My next YouTube video will be on this very thing. I might even just read this open letter to make it concise. And again, I will be sending this hard copy letter out snail mail to your church and other popular churches/persons/ministries. I highly doubt you’ll want to have a discussion with me. The excuse will sound noble to your deluded followers, but it will be lame nonetheless. Make the excuse sound really good Gary! They’ve gotta buy it ya know! Although you can say pretty much anything and they will chomp down. This is the way cults work. Indoctrination runs deep. I look forward to following your religious business career (others too), to see how things turn out. To see how deep in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult you will go, as you slowly and methodically introduce more and more Max King Cult doctrine to your deceived disciples, followers, and supporters who will stick by your side no matter what. You came out of the closet with the core heretical teaching that Max King introduced about 50 years ago, so everything else should be easier for you from here out. Of course, some dedicated followers and financial supporters will have to leave you Gary, but you already know this, as you look ahead towards bigger and better things. The doctrine from Max King that you have already adopted DEMANDS that you are right now a Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult member. You can claim that you’re not all you want by saying there’s a future coming of Christ or whatever else you want to say, but with what you right now believe and teach about AD 70, it puts you in the Full Preterist camp. You’re playing this “I’m just wading into the waters to see if the water is comfortable or not for me” game! Even as you are testing the proverbial waters! The amount of people who have had their faith shipwrecked and destroyed out from the false teachings in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult is staggering! STAGGERING! And the carnage will only grow worse and worse, even as this cult out from Max King in 1971 grows in popularity. Let’s see what happens Gary! Signed, Richard Eckhart 9/1/25

32. Addendum 1. The conference that Gary DeMar attended recently as a speaker was a conference that David Curtis put on at his church, Berean Bible Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia, which is a loud and proud Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult brick and mortar church. Gary DeMar obviously had no problem speaking at conference that a full blown Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult brick and mortar church held – alongside speakers who are all in this cult. Zach Davis is a pastor at the brick and mortar First Baptist Church in Marked Tree, Arkansas. Gary DeMar was supposed to be a speaker at a conference that Zach Davis and Travis Drum held – Gary was pictured on the flyer advertising this conference next to Don Preston. Don Preston was a speaker at this conference. David Curtis’ more recent conference that Gary DeMar spoke at had some of the same Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult speakers and players that show up at other conferences. The most recent Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult conference was the conference that Tim Martin and Jeff Vaughn put on – which was a “Covenant Creation” conference that Don Preston, Zach David, Jeff Vaughn, Tim Martin, Rick Welch, Steve Magua, and Joel Rosenauer spoke at. Here’s a direct quote from Jeff Vaughn when he spoke at this conference, “Almost every month I hear someone say, Christ’s death and resurrection was the most important event in history. How many of you heard that before? Okay. I’m going to dispute that. Christ disagrees.” Oh my! Jeff Vaughn continued, “The end of Adam”s covenant required the most important event in history. The parousia. The coming, The overthrow of Satan. The overthrow of Ninevah. Spiritual Ninevah. How important was this event? Christ called it the passing of away of heaven and earth.” This is what you get in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult! Don Preston and Zach Davis were literally sitting right there when this was said. I have many screenshots of Gary DeMar doing informal and intimate talks with members in this cult on YouTube. No matter how you look at it, they all keep intimate koinonia fellowship with each other in one way or another. Gary DeMar has certainly taken his place in this intimate fellowship – even showing up us a speaker at a conference, and in an intimate fellowship way on YouTube channels that these heretics and blasphemers in this cult administrate.

33. Addendum 2. Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult brief history and teachers.

Max King is the creator, father, and founder of the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult. Max King coined the term “Covenant Eschatology”. He worked with his father-in-law C.D. Beagle throughout the 1960’s in forming this cult doctrine. Max King was influenced by a book by John A.T. Robinson named “The Body” when devising his “corporate body view” of “the body of the Resurrection” that Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15 (“and with what body do they come?” in verse 35). Max King was a very charismatic Stone-Campbell churches of Christ minister who was even financially supported by his local churches of Christ to pursue his “Covenant Eschatology” endeavor. Max King “poured himself into” three fellow churches of Christ ministers who were his direct disciples; Ed Stevens (joined rank with Max King about 1975), William Bell (a polygamy advocate who joined rank with Max King about 1980), and Don Preston (joined rank with Max King about 1990). These three disciples have been very dedicated in pushing cult doctrine in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult for the past 35 to 50 years. Max King’s first Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism book was “The Spirit of Prophecy”, written in 1971. Max King’s 784 page treatise and systematic theology book on Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism was “The Cross and the Parousia of Christ”, written in 1987. Throughout the 1990’s, Max King took on both Universalism and New Age Religion. Around 2000 to 2005, two offshoots of Max King’s core false doctrine took place; “Covenant Creation” (2002) and “Israel Only” (2005). Both of these offshoots were formed in an attempt to deal with the conclusiveness concerning Max King’s foray into Universalism. Max King’s 501c3 business that he began called “Presence International” uses “Integral Theology” based off of models of Spiral Dynamics. Max King coined the term “Transmillennialism” for his view of the Millennium. His son Doug King now runs the religious business he began. Max King died in 2023.

The following persons teach Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism in one form or another. This is the list I compiled from over the years of studying this cult. There are new teachers that showed up post Covid -19 (some new teachers may be missed here). The new teachers who have a presence on Youtube have caused a growth of this cult and this cult’s doctrine. There’s definitely a younger generation that is far better at marketing themselves and their content than the older generations. The reason that I include both Gary DeMar and Kim Burgess is because they co-wrote a two volume book called “The Hope of Israel and the Nations” in 2003 that 100% includes core Max King Cult doctrine in it – along with Gary DeMar’s blatant interaction and intimate koinonia fellowship with the cult members in this cult.

Don Preston (most definitely the top teacher in this cult who has written over 30 books on Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism), William Bell (who has moved into both polygamy and the Black Hebrew Israelite movement at one point) Ed Stevens (probably Max King’s first dedicated disciple around 1975), Gary DeMar, Kim Burgess, Mike Sullivan, Zach Davis (new charismatic hot shot kid on the block who is bringing in many deceived person into this cult), David Curtis, , Tim Martin (“Covenant Creation” co-founder), Jeff Vaughn (“Covenant Creation” co-founder), Holger Neubauer (churches of Christ), Steve Baisden (churches of Christ), John Watson (churches of Christ), Roy Runyon (churches of Christ), Daniel Rogers (churches of Christ), Larry Siegle (churches of Christ), Michael Miano (who is a pastor of a brick and mortar church in New York), Allyn Morton, Ward Fenley (who says he’s perfect, sinless, and in Heaven right now), Glenn Hill, Charles Meek, Tony Denton, Cindye Coates, John Noe, Tom Mills, Tom Riggle, Adam Maarschalk, Rick Welch, Robert Cruickshank, Joel Rosenauer, Kristin Bingamon (Heretic Chick Chat), Spencer Avadiah Smith, Shade Stone (YouTube influencer), Travis Drum, Alex Polyak, Maurice Rogers, Peter Wrue, Samuel Dawson, Steve Magua, Don Nobinger, Darin Gregg, David Gates, Dallas Burdette, Stacey Turbeville, Dan Maines, Greg Chacon, Monte Porter, Patricia Bailey.
