How would you go about defending this postion or defending against this postion (either full or partial) I am intrested to see what happens...happy blogging folks.
I will define Preterism as best I can, also making it clear up front that I am very close to a partial position.
Full Preterism- View that believes ALL the prophecy in the Bible refer to events that took place in the first century.
Partial Preterism- View that believes that MOST of the events in the Book of Revelation have already taken place (all except the last 2-3 chapters)during the years surrounding the destruction of the temple in AD 70. Partial Preterists also see the events described in Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 17, and Daniel as already completed. The difference between Full and Partial is that Partial Preterists still affirm a future bodily return of Christ to earth at a future time.
As far as the verse which I cannot get around which convinces me of at least a partial position is Matthew 24.34 which states, "I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place
gladly, partial preterists (like myself) believe that when it comes to end time prophecy like in the book of Revelation or a more clear def. as quoted by David S. Clark "teaches that some of the Bible's eschatology was fulfilled in A.D. 70, but a large portion is to be fulfilled in the "last day."- hope this makes sense!- KWS

Perhaps you could provide people with a simple definition of preterism?

Kiel Spelts,
I don't know a whole lot about preterism. Will you make a case for that?
