Prove it! Show us where I have demonstrated that I am a preterist. No innuendo, please! LOL!
>>>You know very well that there is one “capital A” Antichrist in Christian theology, specifically referred to in Revelation as “the beast”, and in other places as the “man of perdition”. If you don’t acknowledge that individual, then that is just another part of the Bible we can mark you down as refusing to believe.<<<
Nope, still don't know it. I do recall there was a fellow named Nero running around in the mid-first century who many scholars and historians believe was the beast mentioned in the Revelation, as do I. But I don't know of any particular "Antichrist" in the Bible; only in urban myths.
>>>Well, he’s got a better grasp on it than you seem to, so I would rather discuss it with him any day.<<<
Then why would he refuse to debate? Why all the aspersions and misdirections? That is typically a sign of ignorance: not knowledge.

“Show us where I have demonstrated that I am a preterist.”
Ok, this is not going to be very hard, after all, a couple sentences later you wrote:
“I do recall there was a fellow named Nero running around in the mid-first century who many scholars and historians believe was the beast mentioned in the Revelation, as do I.”
This is a preterist belief.
Also on this thread, you have written (in your first post):
“There are many reasons to believe Babylon the Great was the Jerusalem of 70 A.D.”
Another preterist belief.
and
“Therefore, the First Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection happened around 70 A.D.; and the firstfruits of the resurrection—the 144,000 redeemed from the earth—were standing on heavenly mount Sion with Christ, shortly thereafter.”
Again, more preterism.
And in Post #28:
“The difference is, that generation received the punishment in AD 66-70: over 1.1 million slaughtered or starved to death in Jerusalem, alone! A horror of horrors! Truly the great tribulation, as Jesus prophesied.”
Preterism.
“All the things Christ prophesied to his disciples during the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) were fulfilled during the contemporary generation of his disciples (by AD 70,) exactly like he said they would.”
And more preterism.
Shall I continue?
“Then why would he refuse to debate? Why all the aspersions and misdirections?”
Probably because you have demonstrated that it is fruitless to debate you, since you reject any knowledge that doesn’t fit your preconceived, wrongheaded notions.
