You are absolutely correct in refusing the term "partial preterist." We don't need a qualifier; the heretics do.

You may have heard this when I was a guest on Gene Cook's show. I go into this in a very indepth fashion on my site and podcast.

Shoot me an email if you want the links. I try not to post my links on other people's blogs as I am not trying to self-promote. My email is preteristsite@gmail.com

How can spiritual things like the resurection be a past event which Preterist claim.

My questions in regards to Nero = 666 are as follows. (Sorry I don't have my Bible in front of me by the way.) How do you explain the view that Dispensationalists typically hold to, which is that the beast will die and be resurrected, if Nero is the beast? In addition, you said that John the Revelator meant 666 to be used as a secret code of the church to refer to Nero. Do you know of any historical church writings in which church members wrote about the beast 666 and the context of the writing would seem to indicate that they were talking about Nero to buttress your views further? (Other than the book of Revelation?)

I personally have heard the term used on Gene Cook's radio program "The Narrow Mind." It is possible that Cook's nomenclature is unique, but I would find that hard to believe.

It's true that in this context I am differentiating between orthodox and unorthodox preterists, but ordinarily, I just say "Preterists" to refer to my position and "Hymenaean Preterist" to refer to the belief that the second coming of Christ has already occurred and that the resurrection of the dead has already happened.

But when you say 'preterist', most people when they hear that, if they know anything about 'preterism' will think of full preterism, not the 'partial' kind.

So what about the term 'orthodox preterism', where did you get this term?

I can only speak for myself, but I prefer to use the term 'preterist.' The reason I do not use the term 'partial preterist' is because I do not like to define my view in light of others, at least as much as possible. In other word, I like to state what I amfor and and what I am against. To use the term 'partial preterist' also gives the heretics the term 'preterist.' I am not ready to do this.

So,

So,
Why is there no need for 'partial preterism'? What is the difference between 'partial preterism' and 'orthodox preterism'? What is the problem with the term 'partial preterism'? Why do you long to call your position 'orthodox preterism'? What source have you read which calls your position 'orthodox preterism' instead of 'partial preterism'?

Jason,

Thanks for stopping by and THANK YOU SO MUCH for linking to our blog. That is very "sick" of you.

Now to your comment, I agree with you! It also sucks when Calvinists get called "Hyper Calvinists" by those who do not like the Reformed faith. This seems like a similar offense.

"Ill." If something is "ill," that means that it's really neat.

I know that I've heard your sentiments echoed by Josh W. as well as Pastor Gene Cook Jr.

Even the term Calvinist doesn't mean much anymore. You just have to straight up ask if they subscribe completely to Westminster. And even then, alot of people find wiggle-room there, it seems.

"no need for 'partial preterism'" -- AMEN! Don't you hate it when our terms get hijacked. Other terms hijacked lately: Reformed, Evangelical, sick.

Do you remember when "sick" once meant defective or impaired. Now it means good or impressive.
