That is also postmillennial 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.<<<
That is also postmillennial belief.
>>>“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. <<<
That is also postmillennial belief.
>>>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.<<<
That is also postmillennial belief.
>>>“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.<<<
That is also postmillennial belief.
>>>Shall I continue?<<<
Certainly. I am not ashamed of what I believe, and I am willing to defend it with scripture; unlike you, who cannot defend your beliefs, and appear to be ashamed of it.
>>>“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.<<<
It is only preterism when one believes all prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD, including all resurrections. Postmillennialists, like myself, believe in a general resurrection after the so-called "millennial" reign, which began in the first century.
You really should get your facts straight before casting aspersions. It makes you look petty.

“That is also postmillennial belief.”
So? Being both a postmillenialist and a preterist does not mean you are not a preterist.
“Certainly. I am not ashamed of what I believe, and I am willing to defend it with scripture; unlike you, who cannot defend your beliefs, and appear to be ashamed of it.”
Now you’re just being silly, I already told you exactly why I am not interested in debating beliefs with you. It’s an exercise in futility, since you are too emotionally attached to your beliefs to admit any error, no matter how clearly it is demonstrated to you.
“It is only preterism when one believes all prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD, including all resurrections.”
No, what you are defining is full preterism. Preterism is not limited to that definition.
“Postmillennialists, like myself, believe in a general resurrection after the so-called “millennial” reign, which began in the first century.”
Then postmillenialists are, by definition, at least partial preterists. There’s no weaseling out of that.
“You really should get your facts straight before casting aspersions. It makes you look petty.”
I’ve got my facts straight, and any unbiased poster can easily tell which of us is being honest and which is being evasive. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge the simplest of facts about yourself makes you look like something as well.
