Full Preterism holds that Jesus' Second Coming is to be viewed not as a future-to-us bodily return, but rather a "return" in glory manifested by the physical destruction of Jerusalem and her Temple in AD 70 by foreign armies in a manner similar to various Old Testament descriptions of God coming to destroy other nations in righteous judgment.
Full Preterism also holds that the Resurrection of the dead did not entail the raising of the physical body, but rather the resurrection of the soul from the "place of the dead", known as Sheol (Hebrew) or Hades (Greek). As such, the righteous dead obtained a spiritual and substantial body for use in the heavenly realm, and the unrighteous dead were cast into the Lake of Fire.
Some Full Preterists believe this judgment is ongoing and takes effect upon the death of each individual (Heb. 9:27).The New Heavens and the New Earth are also equated with the New Covenant and the fulfillment of the Law in AD 70 and are to be viewed in the same manner by which a Christian is considered a "new creation" upon his or her conversion.

Anyone who believes that nonsense is believing a lie and will be damned.
P.S. Mark, I made it clear at post #263 I would never respond to Evang. Benincasa again. Obviously, he missed that one or didn't comprehend it. He has asked you the same questions over and over. He seems to be a person desperate to have control.
