I always like to suggest A Second Look At The Second Coming by T.L. Frazier. It's not partial-preterism per se so much as it's Amillennialism, which tends to carry partial-preterist tones in my opinion.

Frazier is an Eastern Orthodox Christian and so writes from the perspective of Ancient Christianity, he critiques (more accurately points out the lunacy of) some of the futurist nonsense that's been peddled the past half century, such as Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth and the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins and then the second half of the book discusses the historic Christian views in contrast to the futurist views. Generally entertaining a partial-preterist and/or amillennialist view.
Thanks for the awesome book suggestion and will have to check it out - as it looks promising :)

ebedmelech;

I'm a free will preterist. Am I all alone? I'm also partial but I dont' really care for that term, I prefer orthodox preterist or traditional preterist.

also, what happened to 1disciple that started this thread? I was hoping to glean a lot from his postings.

I understand. We know based on theology of the eschaton there are labels. I don't put much stock in them either.

1disciple got a bit upset and left the forum. He said someone was reporting him to the moderators.

I'm posting again a series of posts titled "The Case for The Israel of God" which I did a few months back. For some reason the post was removed.

This series was done in response to a thread titled "The True Meaning of Romans 9-11".

In this series of postings the case is made that the bible does in fact teach there is an "Israel of God", which is spiritually all believers, and it starts with Romans 2.

MODS:
If this post is removed again...I would appreciate a response as to why because it doesn't violate forum rules.

That's because in Futurism there is no real hermeneutic. You can pretty much interpret anything according to the whim of the moment. I would describe it as being based upon an anti-hermeneutic. It's the best publishing house and pop eschatology to ever come along. There is an endless river of nonsense that can be promoted from year to year, and the best part is that everyone has to be right because not one of them has a clue as to what they are talking about. The means that a total and abject moron can be as much of an eschatology expert as someone who's studied the Scriptures for decades.
Say on, brother! You nailed that one.

Zat mean I have to forego my after-dinner dram until I log out here?

Heck no, I've already had me a glass of my single malt. The discussion would still have more sense in it than any of the futurist nonsense in back in Eschatology.

It's really hard for some to break their literal approach to scripture after being rooted in it.

I followed it for a long time because after God saved me, I went to an Independent Fundamental Baptist church.."Sword of The Lord" and all that.

I was rooted and grounded in that approach to scripture. The preferred bible of my church was the Scofield Reference Bible. I'm glad I never bought one though.

My own personal study is really what started me to question much of what I had learned.

This leads me to this third temple thinking. The NT writings make it so clear that the temple is the body of believers built on the apostles and prophets, with Jesus as the cornerstone.

Jesus put an end to animal sacrifice and offering in the temple. This is really something it's hard to get some to see.

This is a chart showing the 70 weeks of Daniel 9:

time.h2.gif


There's a hot discussion is open Eschatology Forum titled: "Is there a break in Daniel's 70 weeks? (Daniel 9:26)".

I think this chart to be accurate. Any comments?

Well, I feel qualified to post here because cf has accused me of being a preterist for saying that the second coming was in 312AD when the sign of the Son of Man appeared in the clouds, and Jesus came into power through St. Constantine who rode a white horse and conquered with a bow. But I do not rule out a third coming, so I guess I am a partial preterist
