For the Preterists out there...

I am interested in learning more on this topic. I have some new friends that are Full Prets and I would like to know more about it prior to entering a discussion with them. I have read some or many of the prior posts about this topic on here, but it all seems to be the Prets and the NON-Prets just tossing statements backward & forward. I have looked on line about this topic too and most of what I have read is biased one direction or the other. You could tell the paint for Pret was thick on the Pret sights & conversely the NON-Pret sights painted it really thin.

Feel free to chime in here or via PM. I am very interested in conversing about this topic.

Thanks everyone!

Actually preterism is divided into two branches.

Full preterists and Partial Preterists.

Full preterists believe that all prophecies were already fullfilled in 70 AD during the destruction of Jerusalem.

Partial preterists believe that some of the prophecies were fulfilled in 70 AD during the destruction of Jerusalem.

You could go to the eschatology section of the forum and find various topics concerning preterism and the arguments pro and con, that might help.

Thanks for the info!

This is about the nuts and bolts of what I know about it. I am dating a lady that has a few Prets in the family. I'd like to know more about it but I am also open to hearing people's opinions on these matters too.

I looked through some of it yesterday prior to adding this thread. I found that weeding through some of the ........ looking for the cream was a bit to aggravating. So I started this hoping that the believers wouldn't mind chiming in again.

So far, no dice...

Simple. Go with Orthodox (Partial) Preterism. Full Preterism (fulfilled eschatology) is heresy.

Heb.10:37 For, "In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay."

2000 years and counting? the answer? "A day is like a thousand years, to The Lord", So with that in mind, it's fine to just disregard any and all descriptive terms pertaining to measurement of time in the bible. And...the NT writers were completely confused or mistaken about the Immanent return of The Lord in their generation. Like I heard from the pulpit last week after quoting "the end of all things is at hand", was followed by"a day is as a thousand"....
Nonsense.

There's plenty of info out there. Youtube "all things fullfilled" or eschstology.org for info if u don't want to read the eschatlogy section on AFF.

Or, See what your girlfriends pret friends have to say...

Somebody may find the time to post some stuff on here at some point, not sure what all you're looking for.
