10 Myths About Preterism:

What's True? What's Not? According to One Preterist!

#1) No more need of the Bible:

I can only imagine 3-5 generations passing; with Biblical knowledge retained, without the existence of the Bible. This is of course considering all Holy Books are lost or destroyed at the same time. Other than this, the point would be moot as spirituality will always exist.

#2) No more preaching the Gospel:

Revelation 14:6 and I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. What's the purpose of an Everlasting Gospel, to be preached to people, if there are no people around?

#3) No need to do anything, everything's done:

See #'s 1 & 2

#4) God is finished interacting with man:

Would an Eternal Father ever be finished interacting with His Creation?

#5) No more sin, death, dying, disease, destruction, violence, etc...

One common misconception is that there is no Sin or Dying in or on the "New Earth" I offer Isaiah 65:17-20

For, behold, I create NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

This can be and has been interpreted many different ways but I choose to see the plain context involved: People living, Sinning existing and people being accursed.

#6) My body is supposed to be glorified and immortal.

When did Christ experience immortality? After physical death, right? Are we any better than Christ? Do we deserve anything better than Christ? This belief is widely; in not solely base upon the premise of our being physically resurrected, primarily believed since Christ was physically resurrected.
