I have a bunch of questions. I'll start with just one though.
What is the preterist view of the second coming of Christ?

Come on, Solo, this thread has only been on here for less then an hour and you are already calling us into question. How about some grace, huh?
Hi Kelier, thanks for your inquiry! I'm sure the rest of the guys (and gals) here will be willing to answer any question you have.
Now, concerning the second coming of Christ; there are two views of preterism, and they are Partial preterism and full preterism. The difference between the two concerns mostly the second coming.
1.) Partial Preterists believe that there was a coming of Christ in 70AD, which Jesus spoke of in Matt. 24:2-34, but there will also be a final "coming" of Christ in the future that will end the world, similiar to what futurists believe.
2.) Full Preterists, on the other hand, believe that THE coming of Christ occured in 70AD, with the destruction of the Old Covenant nation of Israel by the Romans. Unless you take a look at the history the event will not seem all that important to you at this time, but it meant a great deal to the people living in that time. So basically Full preterism teaches that all end-time prophecy has culminated, but that it continues to be fulfilled to this day. To understand why they think this way you should start by reading Matthew chapter 24:1-34. Jesus said that all of those things would occur within His generation.
Hopefully that answers your question. If you have others then we hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
In Christ,
Acts6:5

Davo,
I have never said or felt like I was being attacked by you, GW, Hoonbaba (sp?), or any other Preterest. I honestly feel you guys are just trying to show me why you believe the way you do and why you feel you are correct in those beliefs. I don't have a problem with that. Sometimes, though, it's nice to share with like-minded brothers and sisters and let the spiritual hair down...so to speak.
You guys have already helped me more than you could know.

So everyone who doesn't hold your exact beliefs is a "non-believer" and doesn't get to post here? What's the point of a forum if no one can raising opposing viewpoints?
