Brian, isn't "the truth" the fact that Christ was crucified, dead and buried, and rose after 3 days and nights, and in the process, atoned for the sins of the world? And not every little doctrine that you or I might have. 1 Corinthians 8:2 NIV The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. We can all agree to disagree about minor doctrines. I think Scott was making the point about the major thing which is Christ's sacrifice. You're almost as hardheaded as I am. Have a good weekend.

Elect, Agreeing to disagree is a respectful way of saying "I don't agree with you". I have clearly stated my stance on preterism. In short summary...I do not believe the preterism doctrine. I think it is a deception not from the Holy Spirit. Preterism tends to destroy any future significance of Bible prophecy and reduces that prophecy to little more than a literary or historical curiosity with little if any meaning for today. Worst of all, preterism takes away the blessed hope from God’s people and thus robs God’s people of their comfort and encouragement as they face the difficulties and trials and troubles of this wicked world. How will we know when the Lord Jesus comes back? Revelation 1:7 says that when Christ comes back every eye shall see him but nothing like this happened in 70 AD nor at any other time from that day to present. God’s word says that we shall all see Him and if we all see Him, including the non-believers, we won’t have to be told by preterists that He has already come back! No, I do not have "unity of faith" with James on this subject...but I do have "unity of faith" with all the believers in my church. In fact, James is the first person I've ever talked to that actually believes preterism...and if you believe it, then that makes two. I'm praying that God blesses James and shows James the truth concerning this false doctrine and I'm praying that God squashes this false doctrine and doesn't let it gain any momentum. Take care & God Bless, Scott
