Tribulational Flavors

[Dee Dee Warren]

I am also curious about the tribulational flavors we have here. What I am asking is what position do you take on the timing on the Great Tribulation in the Olivet Discourse and Revelation in general. I know that a particular category may not fit everyone precisely, this is just to get a general feel for our demographics.

I believe that the Olivet discourse, and most of Revelation is still future. :)

Dee Dee,

Quick question: What is the difference between full-preterism, and orthodox preterism?

Hey Cirisme!

Dee Dee?

Quick Question?



Can we say oxymoron.

[Faramir]

I will give you the brief answer, and let Dee Dee give you her answer. ;)

Full or Hyper-preterism believes that all of the Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled.

Orthodox Preteris believe most have been fullfilled.

Orthodox for the most part agree that Jesus will return again physically and that there will be a future physical resurection and a future judgement.

How did I do Dee Dee?

[Dee Dee Warren]

Faramir, you did great!! Also, I object generally to the term "full preterism" as it cloaks a heresy with the indicia of credibility by using a good term "preterism" for an utterly bad idea, thus, I use the term Hymenaeanism.

Thanks, Faramir!

Thanks, Faramir!

See I can post serious post.

It just takes time away from post boosting.

it's really weird to me that I've been studying the Great Tribulation for the last few weeks and none of the terms Dee Dee used are familiar... this can't be good

[Dee Dee Warren]

Dear Iceman:

Hmm, what works have you been studying? I can assure you this terminology is pretty standard for the various positions held on this subject.

[efta777]

I didn't learn most of these terms until I started to move away from the "pop culture" eschatology of LaHay and Lindsay. I'd never even heard the term Preterist before - I don't think they like to mention us.

Hmmm, I couldn't vote properly on this one. I am not an orthodox praeterist if that means all of Matt 24 has come to pass, although I believe that the tribulation great referred to their did happen in 70 ad. Likewise I am not a double fulfillmentist, since I see parts fulfilled then, and parts to be fulfilled.

[Dee Dee Warren]

Hey Solly:

Orthodox preterism does not necessarily imply all of Matthew 24 to have been fufilled, just up to verse 34 at a minimum.

[Jaltus]

I would fall into the double fulfillment, though not a total double.

How can we possibly have so many Preterists??!! Not possible without undue influence!
