Full-preterism is a WICKED heresy! If you believe there is no more resurrection for us living today, you are not even saved, sad to say.
Do you call everything with which you disagree a "heresy"?

Has the OP said anything at all about believing there is no more resurrection?

Is belief in a future resurrection a biblical requirement for salvation?

There are zero reports of a resurrection event in 70ad. Utterly ridiculous.
It happened in the spiritual realm. It is not physical bodies and people would not have seen it on earth. It is a spiritual resurrection. Mankind no longer being separated from God because of sin. When Jesus came back Hades was opened and the dead were raised and entered heaven. Since 70 A.D. everyone who dies immediately goes to heaven. There is no waiting in Hades.

Rev 14: 13 says "blessed are those who die in the Lord from this time forward that they may rest and their works follow them". What happens immediately after that verse? One like the Son of Man puts in the sickle and harvests the earth. The resurrection. No more separation from God.

Actually no.
Otherwise Jesus would have said you standing here, or you disciples. Jesus was talking about the temple being destroyed. Its not my interpretsrion, or position, its just what Jesus said. Look there is no temple but the israelite generation is STILL here and hasnt passed away. Its you who doesnt understand what Jesus said, thus you need a dictionary.
All 25 times Jesus uses the word generation you can tell from the context He is talking to His contemporaries.

Lol you say there are theories over who the man of sin was, and you cant even name that person. So. Why should we believe you.
Just because we are not entirely sure who it was sitting in the temple in 65-70 A.D. doesn't mean it didn't happen. The timeline tells us that it happened then.

You are leaving so much out. Your cherry picking verses to fit an Idea.....
Daniel 7 explains the prophecy of the first beast of the sea in Revelation. There is 2000 yrs of prophecy in Daniel or 1260 yrs between 538 ad -1798 ad you cant just throw all that out.

Your verse about " before this generation passes away " Is the generation when Israel became a state again in 1948 so it is 1948 generation that has to pass......
There isnt any historical record of his return.
The yr 538AD is interesting to me. During this time period (536 AD) there was an extreme weather event / atmospheric dust event dimming the sun and causing massive crop failures. This extreme event was then followed by the Justinian Plague in 541AD.
I can't help but see these two events as fulfillment of the fifth bowl of wrath (Rev 16:10-11). At this time Saint Justinian the Great was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire. His throne must be what is referred to in Rev 16:10.
This is phenomenal prophecy fulfillment!

History:
The Byzantine Papacy was a period of Byzantine domination of the Roman papacy from 537 to 752, when popes required the approval of the Byzantine Emperor for episcopal consecration, and many popes were chosen from the apocrisiarii (liaisons from the pope to the emperor) or the inhabitants of Byzantine-ruled Greece, Syria, or Sicily. Justinian I conquered the Italian peninsula in the Gothic War (535–554) and appointed the next three popes, a practice that would be continued by his successors and later be delegated to the Exarchate of Ravenna.

With the exception of Pope Martin I, no pope during this period questioned the authority of the Byzantine monarch to confirm the election of the bishop of Rome before consecration could occur.

Bible Prophesy::
Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

Bible Prophesy fulfillment:
The first beast is a governmental leader (Emperor) and the second beast is a clerical leader (Pope)
Throughout history the 1st and 2nd beast jump from one person to the next, from one dynasty to the next, from one empire to the next...

1st Beast = Justinian I "the Great" (527 - 565AD)
1st Beast = Justin II (565 - 578AD)
1st Beast = Tibernius II Constatine (578 - 582AD)
on and on...
1st Beast = Charlemagne (800 - 814AD)
on and on...

History:
Within 50 years (Christmas 800), the papacy recognised Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor. This can be seen as symbolic of the papacy turning away from the declining Byzantium towards the new power of Carolingian Francia.

Jesus' bodily resurrection was a sign. Otherwise nobody would have believed He rose from the dead. He tells you it is a sign. The dead are raised with a spiritual body. I don't know what that is like since I have never had one. It is not flesh and blood because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. We will be like the angels.

Paul talks about us receiving a spiritual body in 1 Cor 15. It is not bodies flying out of the ground. Your new body does not use your physical body.
Sounds like gnosticism.

You said we will be like the angels, but bro, i would submit to you that angels are not immaterial. Proof? Sodom and Gomorrah. Those angels had a body.
More proof: Our bodies will be similar to Jesus' resurrection body, He was the first of many brethren, and AFTER the resurrection Jesus drank, ate and said TOUCH ME for a SPIRIT hath not flesh and bones as you see me have.

Yes it is. No resurrection = No hope.

Not everything I disagree with is a heresy. But full preterism definately is. It teaches teh second coming CAME AND WENT. The fact that you dont agree with that should be surprising, but considering you are the man who used the words "misogynistic patriarchy", its no surprise you are soft on doctrine too.

Very disappointing to see that we are at a stage in Christianity where calling out something as heresy that denies the second coming of Jesus is yet future is seen as a negative thing. The modern western thought really has done a number on Christianity!

I wont put you on ignore, but i wont be responding to your stuff no more, i just cant see the use. Just saying that so you know its not fruitful to write to me since I wont be writing back. God bless you and your family though, hopefully you tighten things down on the doctrine department and start taking a stand.

According to the Bible, Jesus' second coming was in 70 A.D. Here is a few Scriptures in support of this:

Matt 16: 27-28, "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Matt 24: 30-31, "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. " This is the Olivet Discourse and in verse 34 it says "ALL these things will come upon this generation" Not some things but ALL these signs will come upon this generation.

Matt 10: 23, "17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

I have many more Scriptures I can provide if anyone is interested in discussing this. God bless.
What specific language in scriptures leads you to the 70 conclusion? I can't find it.

You are continuing to double down on your erroneous beliefs as I predicted. Which confirms that you have been indoctrinated and brainwashed. There's no point discussing this nonsense any longer.

Full-preterism has been on the rise on the internet recently. I have to say though i dont know ANY brethren in real life that believe that junk. NOT A ONE.

My theory is that its a pushback on the rapturemania, they got tired of the date-setting Harold Campings and the rest of them and now they found something online that says its all done. Its great to have that hidden knowledge of how it all went down and all these regular Christians still waiting for Jesus to come back.

It actually glorifies God because it shows He kept all His promises and Jesus finished the last of those promises in 70 A.D.

The entire Bible is fulfilled. All Scripture is still profitable for instruction in righteousness (2 tim 3: 16) but we need to keep it in its proper understanding.



The temple will never be rebuilt. God has made that obvious to the world by destroying it and leaving it vacant for 2,000 years. Even if Israel were to rebuild it God would never be there.
Ahem. I was refering to the 3rd Temple of Ezekiel and the one Jesus was refering to. You know. The one in the bible?

Just because we don't know who the exact person was sitting in the temple in 65-70 A.D. doesn't mean it did not happen. Once again, only the jews could commit the Abomination of Desolation. They did that to the first temple in Ezekiel 8 & 9. They did it again right before Christ's second coming in 70 A.D. I understand you think the position is absurd but you should try and study it and give it a chance before you condemn it.
2 Thess 2:4
"He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God."

This would be big news. Surely the Jews would have recorded it and noted the identity of this person.

But you have no idea who this is? Ridiculous.

Oooohhhhh. Are you sure it wasnt happening on the Astral plane or something?

There is plenty of internal evidence that the book was written before 70 A.D. Also several external references like Origen and the syriac version of Revelation.

Revelation is the expanded version of the Olivet Discourse. That's why John doesn't have it in his gospel. It is about the destruction of Jerusalem and the setting up of Christ's kingdom when He returned in 70 A.D. It's about 2 brides. One is a harlot (old covenant Israel) drunk with the blood of the prophets and saints (Rev 18: 24) and that all the wrath for all the righteous blood shed from Abel to Zechariah would come upon that evil generation of Jews (Matt 23: 35-36). When one starts to see these things the book will make more sense.

There was two large volcanoes that erupted fairly close in time. One in 535/536 and the other in 539/540 CE. And It should be emphasized that large eruptions do not simply chill the world. The effects on weather and climate are non-uniform. They are regional and can differ markedly, as Pinatubo and Tambora have shown. Tropical eruptions, such as the 539/540 event, also exercise a different force on climate than high latitude Northern Hemispheric ones, like 535/536. For instance, major near-equatorial volcanism is known to cause winter warming in North America, Europe, and Russia, but winter cooling in Western and Eastern Asia. Extratropical Northern Hemispheric volcanism cools hot and cold seasons alike. Seasonality matters too. That high latitude eruptions seem to be more impactful if they occur in summer could indicate that the 535/536 eruption happened in that season.

More proof: Our bodies will be similar to Jesus' resurrection body, He was the first of many brethren, and AFTER the resurrection Jesus drank, ate and said TOUCH ME for a SPIRIT hath not flesh and bones as you see me have.
Jesus appeared several times after His resurrection and kept changing His form.

Mark 16: 12, "After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

Luke 24: 13-16, " Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

John 20: 14-15 (Mary at the tomb), "Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

John 21: 12, " Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord."

Jesus looked different multiple times when He resurrected. He could make Himself appear however He wanted to. In the room with doubting Thomas He did appear in His pre-death appearance. The other instances, you can see from the Scritpures, He did not.

Angels, just like God, are spirits. Ministering spirits. They can take on bodies. I don't know what our resurrection body is like because I have never had one but I know it isn't like this one.

Yes it is. No resurrection = No hope.
Nobody is saying that there is no resurrection. It already happened in 70 A.D. When we die we immediately go to be with the Lord in our glorified spiritual body.

Not everything I disagree with is a heresy. But full preterism definately is. It teaches teh second coming CAME AND WENT.
It is not heresy. Jesus kept His promise and came back in 70 A.D. How do you explain Matt 16: 27-28? He did not reward every man according to his deeds at the transfiguration. These verses along with Matt 24: 30-31 and Matt 10: 17-23 tell you He was coming back in His generation.

The resurrection is past. Christians die and immediately go to be with the Lord at death. There is no need for Christ to come back because He already did.

Good luck on that one...when will you be judged for eternal salvation?
