A critique of Full Preterism

Posted: 24th September 2007 by ElShaddai Edwards in Uncategorized

Scott at Shadows of the Cross has posted Have Heaven and Earth Passed Away?, part one of an essay on why he has rejected Full Preterism:

As a former Full Preterist, I believe it is necessary to explain the reasons why I have repented of promoting this system of bible prophecy. For over 8 years, my deep conviction regarding the superiority of this system blinded me from seeing beyond the confines of the Preterist method of interpretation which, in all its forms, maintains the year AD70 as a focal point for prophetic fulfillment. Ever since realizing how that point of view limits ones perspective of spiritual things, it has been my distinct pleasure to discover what AD70 really means for our lives today.

Scott writes well and I’ll be curious to read the part two of his thoughts, on “the consequences of removing the ‘present heavens and earth’ from the wicked in the post AD70 world.”

P.S. For another take on Full Preterism, read Steve’s thoughts at Undeception.
