Subject: Preterism refuted using Scripture alone? |
Bible Note: Rev. Bill Lee-Warner, It seems to me that Paul was obviously dealing with a heresy that was taking place prior to 70AD. Preterism says that Christ came back in approx. 70AD. So, Paul was definitely not refuting preterism. I wouldn't consider the discussion of Scripture and doctrines like the imminent return of Christ "empty chatter". Most prterists that I've talked to are sincerely interested in pursuing truth through a better understanding of Scripture. And, that is precisly what Paul was encouraging the Bereans to do. |
