LOL. I understand what they teach just fine (I was a full preterist for a time, until God showed me my error).But then you misunderstand what a full Preterist believes.
It's depressing because it means God will never fulfill His promise to Resurrect the dead (1 Corinthians 15), nor set the creation free from it's bondage (Romans 8:21). i The god of Hyperpreterism is a god who cares so little for his creation, that he's just going to let sin and death last forever. Which means that, ultimatley, Satan has won.Preterists do believe that prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD, and that we are now in the kingdom, but why is that depressing?
It's also depressing because it means belivers have nothing to look forward to, no hope for the future.
Christians of any eschatological view has the freedom to preach the Gospel. C.H. Spurgeon, a Premillennialist, was a very famous preacher, who I believe, gained many converts by his preaching. There has never been some great Hyperpreterist preacher who converted many to Christianity, so it appears that very few Hyperpreterists care about converted lost souls to the faith.As Christians it gives us the freedom to evangelise and not have to worry about being raptured or left behind. We are free to improve the world and stop it being destroyed.
It doesn't matter when it was written. The point I make with the passage is that, if the Resurrection of the dead is future (which it is, otherwise my faith is in vain), then those who teach it is past (Hyperpreterists) will fall under the same condemnation as Hymenaeus and Philetus.As for the above passage, Paul was writing before 70 AD and could not therefore, have been talking about Preterists.
Actually, Hyperpreterism is nothing more than Gnosticism, combined with Mysticism, Paganism, Liberalism, and the Hymenaean heresy. Hyperpreterism, just like the Gnostics, don't belive that the creation is good, so that therefore, it won't ever be redeemed. And Hyperpreterism, just like Gnosticism, is a different religion, with a different god, and a different Jesus (followed to it's logical conclusion, Hyperpreterism must teach that Jesus did not physically rise from the dead).He was talking about the Gnostics, who are very different from Preterists.
So no, Gnostics are not "very different" from Hyperpreterists.
Btw dude, Hyperpreterists are not allowed to post on this board (or any other Christian Only board).
