All that said, it's clear [emph. added] that Revelation was written in the 90's AD, so it's obvious [emph. added] that modern preterism is bunk.

See my comments to Marlowe in #263. How do you know that Revelation was written in AD90's? Only from extra-biblical (i.e., fallible) sources.

Be careful when you knock the preterist's use of outside sources. It might just come back to bite you on your theology.

There are too many references that say it was written late, and then there a gaggle of references that treat Revelation as still future, and finally, there's the issue of early Christians not even knowing everything was fulfilled in 70 AD.

You'd think the apostles would've clued them in.
