Preterism to me, has in fact strengthened my belief in His word as I can now better see how He set things up and how they came to pass.
One quick example is the prophecies Jesus gave his disciples in Matt 24 where He told them the temple would be destroyed in that generation. Of course they knew what He meant and asked Him what would be the sign of His coming to destroy that temple.
We can now look at that prophecy in @30 AD and some 40 years later, we today can attest to the fact that it was in fact destroyed within that generation back then, as He said it would. In fact it goes even further. The Christians that was in Jerusalem during the siege, in AD 70, knew of Jesus' warnings of His coming to destroy that temple and the sign for them to leave town was when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by the Roman army, so they heeded Jesus' words and they fled, like He told them to do and they were saved! We can point to that and have a clear showing where He said it, where they obey Him and they were saved from the carnage, EXACTLY like He said it would occur and history supports it as well.
Everything He told them came to pass as He told them.

It can be proven when it occurred vs. trying to guess and guess and guess again when it might occur.

That is a very powerful witness!!

Preterism does not lead to atheism anymore than Oneness leads to trinitarianism as I know many that have left Oneness and became trinitarians.

Hey, Brother Badejo nailed it, saying a Preterist leads to Atheism is like saying Pentecostalism leads to serpent handling.
