Nothing personnal against the one that wrote this article, but there are way better writers that attempt to refute preterism than this.
This article is basically just a reaffirmation of several popular modern teachings without taking the verses into context as they were written and just throwing out accusations without explaining why the preterist take those positions.
As written, this article does not merit a whole lot of attention.
Go find a better one that is more than just a "They believe such and such, and they are wrong, because my article so states, and besides that everyone knows they are wrong"
Lord Bless.

Generally speaking most "refutations" of other eschatological views are not statements of why they are against the word of God but rather statements of why they are against their interpretation of the Word of God.

Basically your same reasoning, Easter.

Many opponents to Christianity deny Christianity for their offkey and several reasons. One of them is the thought that Jesus said the people standing there hearing Him would see Him return. The Moslems claim Jesus never did return in their generation like He said He would. They are not locked into dispensationalism, and plainly read what we also claim Jesus said. But the fact is that HE DID RETURN in that generation, and they misunderstand how God came many times in Old Testament days via judgment using heathen armies and nations to afflict Israel, as in Isaiah 10, for starters. Dispensationalism shoots it's own foot by making false interpretations of Christ's words that even non-Christians can plainly see referred to the generation Christ lived in.

The problem arises when dispies take what they think Christ meant, without any regard for the manners of speech used primarily throughout the Old Testament in ways that are apparent (when studied) to not have been intended to be taken as dispies take them.

So, like SneeKee implied, intentionally or not, it is quite a real ironic strawman argument to take Christ's words, misinterpret them and say they were not fulfilled in AD70.

Mike, after intense review, I have concluded that you are Perry Stone's evil partial preterist twin. But because Perry Stone is probably a bioroid agent of the Zion-Mason alliance, your *evil twin* affiliation could make you an agent of good.

I really do enjoy your depth of knowledge and absolute Biblical responses. You have made me totally re-evaluate my positions and I can now see clearly what you are claiming and proposing. Thank you.
