I do not debate the Eschatology of/in the Bible to defend Preterism. I'm neither an official spokesperson for Preterism nor am I the Poster-Boy for Preterism.
Preterism is a word and is a word that means lots of different things to different people.
I will absolutely present and defend Fulfilled Eschatology but by my own beliefs, and not those attributed to or claimed by any others who also claim to believe in Fulfilled Eschatology.
We're not all identical robots that hold all beliefs in common.
I am an individual, so debating me on what I believe, should only concern what I do or do not believe.
Heaven forbid that all Fulfilled believers don't walk in lock-step unison...........................................as if Futurists do?
Believe me when I say many of my own eschatological beliefs are not shared by the vast majority of other Fulfillment believers.
Several years back I began saying "I'm not a 70 AD Preterist".
70 AD is important and for many reasons, but I believe there is entirely too much laid at the feet of 70 AD within Fulfillment.
I don't get involved in 1% of the Preterist/Futurists posts I used to. I was the Captain of "involved" because I just had to have an answer for everything.
I had an epiphany that changed a lot for me.
I actually discovered this argument.............................are you ready for this? ;)
It's not about me!
Imagine that.
I will debate, but not just for myself in some one-on-one, as if it's an arm-wrestling competition.
I actually despise most such social network discussions: far too much of our own written words are up for interpretation to each individual reader; as we see so fittingly in this book we all call the Bible. (As a writer, I know this well)
Depending on which scholars some accept, a good consensus is that a minimum of 30% of the Bible is Eschatological.
If we only used the KJV Bible, that's approximately 10,000 scriptures.
The single-largest topic in scripture is Eschatology; according to scriptural reference itself.
That's never going to be ironed out on one social network thread.
I can set-up a Chat-Room debate in a matter of minutes; provided my challenger knows or can learn the platform, and has a microphone so we can actually talk to one another.
Paltalk is the easiest, as I know it better.
Here's a challenge I created 12 years ago, for any Futurist that believes any of the Olivet Discourse remains unfulfilled.
