Yes Gentry in his Preterist interpretation mangles scripture to create his teaching and belief in 70AD fulfillment
Just as dispensationalism takes 1 Thessalonians 4:15-15 & 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 and claims the verses represent a (Pre-Trib Rapture) of the Church to heaven, when the verses shown are nothing more than the (Second Coming) Last Day (Resurrection)
Gentry's Preterism and dispensationalism change scripture to suit the teaching and belief
Pre-trib Rapture & 70AD fulfillment, both are fabricated teachings of men, not found in scripture
Well I cannot speak for all of dispensationalists. those verses simply prove there is a "rapture". The verse that proves it is a pre trib event is:
1 thess. 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
When the bible speaks of Gods wrath and it is unmodified like His wrath that abides on unbelievers (John 3) it is ALWAYS referring to the tribulation or the 70th week of Daniel.
When fully translated q Thess. says"...Even Jesus, who is delivering us from tha wrath that is coming." (verebs are present passive deponent, pareticiple)
the word rapture is a man made word, but the pre trib event is firmly established in Scripture.
