I’m not going to post dozens of verses here just to argue with someone so willfully ignorant. There is more than enough research available, starting with authors like Josephus and Eusebius to educate yourself. Try reading something other than all the false prophets, like Harold Camping and his ilk, before you deign to pass judgment on something you clearly don’t understand.
“I’m not going to post dozens of verses here just to argue with someone so willfully ignorant.”
I didn’t ask for any verses, or appeals to authority, I asked for your preterist method, the hermeneutic rules that you use to determine one simple thing. How do you know if any particular verse is to be taken literally or not, in the context of prophecy?
Can you produce such a rule? Or does my statement that preterism has no such standard for exegesis stand?
