If so, what are they and why do you think they might be convincing? :shrug:

Yes of course I do. I used to be a futurist, and I wasn't an idiot then who got smart or something. I have respect for the futurist position because I once held it -however, I think the better arguments are for a preterist positiohn - which position of my own I am always refining and modifying and think if I could spend a year in study I would be modifying it a bit further, still preterist, but preterists like Hank said once on his show try to make everything an all or nothing affair to the extreme as well. That is the root of the evil seed of hyperpreterism and orthodox prets grow it unwittningly.

I cant think of any. The futurists runs into trouble so often because he fairly shouts LITERAILISM which he must then deny at every instance in which timing is mentioned. There are far too many internal conflict to allow much of a serious consideration.
