Subject: Preterism refuted using Scripture alone? |
Bible Note: Doc, You seem to have taken exception to my "lack of serious thought" statement. All I meant by that was that in my limited study and personal experience in discussing the issue of preterism with friends who are futurists the topic is usually either dismissed or avoided. When I've run across one who does try to explain why the view is considered heretical they tend to do so, not with Scripture per se, but with traditions and creeds. And, by saying as you have, that it is outside Christian unorthodoxy (which they define using tradition and creeds). The time-frame issue is not treated honestly, in my opinion, by most futurists that I've come across. I readily admit that I have a long way to go before I have a good grip on the majority opinion of those opposed to preterism. However, that is my motivation for asking folks like you to share your opinion. I'm still in the process of trying to understand the time-frame and audience relevance perspective. I am currently doing "more extensive reading" together with discussing the issue here and with others. I'm sure there is ultimate truth regarding this and I intend to continue pursuing it. Coper |
