The Preterist Archive of Realized Eschatology
The Internet's Only Balanced Look at Preterist Eschatology
Some were denying the resurrection of bodies, yet accepted that Christ bodily rose, so Paul argues that those two beliefs are contradictory to one another because of the logical relationship between them. They both cannot be true at the same time. And since Christ did bodily rise, then there can be no objection to the rest of us bodily rising. Continue reading “Jason Bradfield: Irrefutable Refutation of Hyper-Preterism (2018)”
King is wholly mistaken in attaching legal significance to the term “firstfruits” as used in the New Testament vis-à-vis first generation Christians. The term is in no way intended to be understood as if God gave first generation Christians a vicarious role to play in the redemption of the Old Testament saints. Continue reading “Kurt Simmons: Transmillennialism™ A Critical Review of “the” Millennium According to Max King (2004)”
Unorthodox preterism is unsatisfying in the biblical theology level, considering the development of sin, death, kingdom, and the advance of the gospel. Unorthodox preterism is unsatisfying on an exegetical level in view of the key didactic passages addressing the Second Advent and resurrection of believers Continue reading “Gregg Strawbridge: An Exegetical Defense of Postmillennialism from 1 Corinthians 15:24-26 (1999)”
The resurrection, in other words, parallels creation, and may be seen as re-creation – much as the flood can be seen as a re-creation and re-ordering of the original creation, yet still in fundamental continuity with it Continue reading “Barry Hofstetter: Hyper-Preterism and 1 Corinthians 15 (2006)”
No matter where one goes with this passage, it provides little hard support against the full preterist view. This event should probably be taken as a sign of the imminent resurrection of AD 70 Continue reading “Charles Meek: Two Resurrections (2011)”
So the Lord did come just as He promised His disciples He would, Matt. 24:34. But He is coming again just as He promised the world He would, Act 17:30-31. Continue reading “Joe Puckett: Sinking the Ship of Full Preterism (2006)”
the Bible connects dying to sin and being raised with Christ in salvation. Although it is the case that this passage mentions the endowment of this newness of life in the past tense, the Bible does give some future (parousia) bestowal of spiritual life Continue reading “Kenneth Perkins: Preterist Views of the Resurrection (2004)”
This was the definitive moment in which I became a full preterist. The part of me that had been resisting had no choice but to yield – a yielding I knew would not be without consequence.
To say that we do not believe 1 Cor. 15 discusses a resurrection of physical bodies from holes dug in the ground is not the same as rejecting bodily resurrection. For Collins, the discussion of resurrection does not extend beyond biology. Continue reading “William Bell: Reply to Cougan Collins on the AD70 Resurrection (2014)”
In short, if one cannot present a clear, consistent argument from all of the relevant material, then one begins to make a series of exceptions in order to excuse away the apparent inconsistencies. Such a way of argument is the stuff of politicians. Continue reading “Sam Frost: Critique of Stevens’ View of Resurrection (2018)”
Every preterist who holds to a literal changing of the saint has to deny the testimony of the ECF and history and rewrite it because everything about it disprove their paradigm. Its becomes the biggest scam in the world. It just didn’t happen in AD 70. Continue reading “Steven Whitsett: IBV? I Think You Have a Severe Problem (2018)”
God equipped the Gentiles to share in Israel’s hope, Israel’s promises, Israel’s New Heaven and Earth, Israel’s New Jerusalem, and Israel’s greater tabernacle. Continue reading “Max King: Marriage and Resurrection (2005)”
The similarities between Josephus’ writing and the Apostolic testimony are remarkable. It appears that the apostolic teaching accords closely with the Pharisaical doctrine on the resurrection. Continue reading “Marcus Booker: The Resurrection: What and When? (2004)”
The phrase “flesh and blood” shows the need for transformation. It highlights the weakened, sinful estate, not the material condition. Continue reading “Ken Gentry: Christ’s Resurrection and Ours (2003)”
Jesus, to have been raised physically from the dead required that the same body be raised. Otherwise it would not be a true resurrection of His body. Thus, the gospels and epistles demonstrate the fact of Jesus’ post resurrection experience. Continue reading “William Bell: A Response to Gentry on the Resurrection (2003)”
