Following is a conversation that I had with an individual that cold-called me via email. This is a technique that is widely used by hyperpreterists. However, I say “sort of” because this guy is out there on numerous issues that I wouldn’t want to appear to be saying that all hyperpreterists would agree with.
Enjoy! (or not)

Dear Friend,

Here is a preterist book - which investigates the signs of the End of the Age, and how they were fulfilled in 70 A.D. Of particular interest are the events desctibed by both Josephus and Tacitus as happening just before the destruction of Jerusalem. These events seem to bear a relationship to the Passion of Christ. I hope you enjoy this book. If so, please pass it on to your brethren. There is no charge. I just hope that through sharing, more things will come to light.

My book can be found here - ******** [NO HERETICAL CRAP ADVERTISED HERE]

Blessings

At this point, I have no clue who this spammer is. He certainly isn’t my friend, which is pretty bad since anyone I have had one pleasant encounter with in the past is my friend. I am not publishing his email address out of a feeling of more consideration than he showed me by spamming me. My email is common knowledge. He sent this to several of my accounts, and I answered from whatever one my iPhone was defaulting to at the time of response.

Is it hyperpreterist?

Dear Sir,

It is preterist, though I am not sure how much compared to other people.

“Dee Dee” would be a really sissy name for a “sir.” I can’t prove it, but I suspect that was a purposeful affection, and he knew precisely who I was.

Do you believe that Jesus is coming back bodily to resurrect the dead bodily out of their graves —- in our future?

Hi,

My book is historical - about what has happened. It does not say what will happen. With God, anything is possible.

Bull.

I didn’t ask what the book said, I asked what you believe.
I share the book, not anything else

Interesting. So you won’t tell me if you believe in the Trinity? You don’t think an author of a Christian book should be a Christian? Are you ashamed of what you believe?
Unlike Don Preston, he refrained from obsessively replying, but he is a big fat liar. I mozied on over to his link, and it isn’t simply “historical,” — in fact, here is a quote:

So Jesus has returned already……. I can hardly imagine a more momentous conclusion!!

Where does that leave modern day Christianity? I am not sure. Certainly, the implications and reverberations for Christendom are significant. All I know is that we are now living in a new age (Post Second Coming), and have been living in that age for 2000 years. The theologians must work out the ramifications.
Ohh! Ohh! Can I guess? Is one of the ramifications being a dishonest spammer? Woot!
