Seeking List of Full Preterist 'Camps'

Over the last three years or so, I've come to think of myself as a full preterist (or quasi-full-preterist of some variety). I've been exposed to the view for about 16 years, mostly via the web and, a few years ago, from posters on this forum. I'm looking for a brief-as-possible list of the 'camps' ...

Re: What scriptures do you think Jesus referred to in Luke 2

I've done a little research on this related to eschatology. From what I've found, certain portions of the Hebrew Bible were called 'the writings' (i.e., 'the scriptures') some time during or before the first century. The Eleven Books of the Writings in the Tanach (Kesuvim or Ketuvim) Psalms - Tehili...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

How does a preterist understand this? 1 Corinthians 15:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 20. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. It seems obvious the fruit that follows "first fruit" is the same in nature. Would that not be true in Paul's thin...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

(Addendum) With the fairly recent death of the Jewish actor, Leonard Nimoy (Spock on Star Trek), I saw that William Shatner (Capt. Kirk), also Jewish, Tweeted that he regretably couldn't make it to Nimoy's funeral in time (which was no more than three days after Nimoy died, if I'm not mistaken). So ...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

Brief note on a busy day (just thought of something). Acts 13 (NASB) 34As for the fact that He raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: 'I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and SURE blessings OF DAVID.' 35"Therefore He also says in another Psalm, 'YOU WILL NOT ALLOW...

Re: Lordship Salvation (sinfulness)

I'm not knowledgeable re preterism to any extent so I may not be responding to what you believe. I see God sovereignly in control of history to the extent that the events in the OT serve as a sort of metaphor pertinent to us. Paul indicated as much regarding the history of Sarah and Hagar (Gal. 4:2...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

. . . But, studying the Greek philosophers (specifically the Stoics) does give us a way to understand some of the New Testament resurrection language since theirs was the dominant system of physics taught at the time (then you posted 1 Cor 15 & ff., etc.). Thanks, Doug! I'm not sure where or when I...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

Oh yes, Paidion, I've read Josephus on this. There was one certain Jesus who prophesied for several years "Woe to Jerusalem! Woe to Jerusalem! Woe to me!" and was suddenly killed with a Roman arrow. Brian Martin goes into Josephus some too. Also, these 2 sermons are the best I've ever heard detailin...

Re: My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

Ooops, forgot to post the video (1 hour, 24 mins). Made by a guy named Brian Martin. A kind of Bible study documentary of his journey into preterism. I've emailed him. Real nice guy. Admits he doesn't have all the answers. Vid has some really cool acoustic guitar riffs & a fair amount of humor. A ve...

My Preterist Journey (so far + video)

A frequent reader but seldom poster (these days); I just want to do a thread on what I've been up to in The Eschatology Dept. (Our friend, Homer, was asking me about this too). My eschatological history, so to speak, has been: raised dispensationalist (pre-trib, pre-mill), moving on to partial prete...
