Preterism:  The Bridge from Futurism to Preterism – Walt Hibbard

“Perhaps the logic of it all ought to be turned back upon the opponents of preterism. How can they dare to suggest that Jesus really did not fulfill His promises that He said He would and in the way that He said He would? If it is scary to 21st century ears that the second coming has already happened, how much more scary should it be to suggest that the second coming has not yet taken place?”

“Wavering Partial-Preterist, toes in the shallow end, unable to jump all the way into Full Preterism.” – “I find most arguments against Full Preterism to be weak at best, and hypocritically arrogant and dangerous at worst. As one who hasn’t yet been able to bite the bullet and join the Full Preterist camp, I am particularly sensitive to bad arguments from partial preterists.”

 “The question, then, is simply this: Is it accurate to classify John Humphrey Noyes as an early proponent of hyper-preterism? After re-examining the evidence, I believe that the answer is yes, and I will seek to defend that answer in what follows.”
