The absurdity and heresy of Preterism

The antichrist is a "spirit," not a man. That spirit can live within a man. But that spirit one day will be a real demonic being who will possess powers that will make people believe he is God. Tell me of any man in history, outside of Christ Himself, who has shown such powers? Since there has never been a second to possess such powers, that means there is that still to come.

Can the Pope say to the waters, depart, and the waters disappear?

NOPE!

He, or anyone like him ain't the true Antichrist!

We have not had to choose between God or the Mark of the Beast, no one is being beheaded, Satan is still running around free, No true Demonic Antichrist with powers like God, no Two Witnesses, no death of the Two Witnesses, no Israel realizing the Antichrist is not God and there is war, no Armageddon.

Where does this all fall at?

I believe OP has gotten a lot of preterist teachings wrong in the introduction, a lot of the things listed is what futurists typically ASSUME that preterists believe (so this is pretty much another strawman thread). In addition, preterism probably varies within itself as much as futurism.
I'm neither fully a preterist nor a futurist myself, just for the record.
I just see little point in setting up a strawman and debating with myself how I have brilliant arguments.

There is only one correct view. Given the state of the world any astute observer can make the right choice if they are sincere.

1) When one pope dies, he is replaced by the next man. As one man succeeds the next, the same demonic spirit resides within each and every pope.
2) I went and highlighted this statement of yours. I highlighted it because it is nothing but pure baseless speculation.
3) I will tell you that the Popes have performed miracles, and they have final say on whether the catholic church recogizes and approves of miracles which means the Pope has authority over the miracles. I recommend you read up on the Miracle of the Sun, it is totally fascinating. While at it why don't you learn about the multitude of other false miracles of the Roman Catholic Church. Here is one small example.

4) all your assumptions are unfounded.

And that happens to be your view?

I believe OP has gotten a lot of preterist teachings wrong in the introduction, a lot of the things listed is what futurists typically ASSUME that preterists believe...

Why don't you quote from actual Preterists to prove your point?

On the other hand I can quote from actual Preterists to support each and every one of the errors which have been listed. So go ahead and show us how the believe the opposites.

So the anti-christ was present in 70AD and he has been present ever since. He was the succession of Roman Emperor and then switched over to the succession of Roman Pontiff.

It states we will be caught away. That means to leave. When did we leave because I still sin but in Heaven there can be no sin.

This is a good example of the absurdity which is the mark of Preterism.

The Bible is very clear that God has allotted just 3 1/2 years (42 months, 1260 days, time, times, and half a time or the dividing of time) to the reign of the Antichrist. (time = 1 year + times = 2 years + half a time = 6 months.)

And he [the Antichrist] shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (Dan 7:25)

And there was given unto him [the Antichrist] a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Rev 13:5)

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Dan 12:7)

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Rev 12:14)

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (Rev 11:2,3)

So to claim that he is has been around for over 2,000 years is total nonsense.

I cannot argue with that viewpoint. But that still does not explain the 2nd Coming after the Tribulation, Armageddon.

How do you rationalize THIS GENERATION being anything other than the generation present before Jesus at the time he said it?

It is appointed to man once to die and then the judgement. Being caught away without dying contradicts that verse so it can't mean mean be raptured out of here without dying first.

There is no 7 year tribulation anywhere in the bible. That's just more dispensational made up theology.

As I said, the generation Jesus was talking about was a "Future" generation, those that would witness "All" the "Future Events"

Just as the complete chapter of Matthew 24 evolves around two questions as seen in Matthew 24:3 below?

"Future Events"

1. Jesus Second Coming

2. The End Of This World.

Matthew 24:3KJV
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

It is appointed to man once to die and then the judgement. Being caught away without dying contradicts that verse so it can't mean mean be raptured out of here without dying first.

There is no 7 year tribulation anywhere in the bible. That's just more dispensational made up theology.
