Preterism holds that the time of Jesus' second coming (Greek: parousia) was A.D. 70. (Engelsma)

Do you know anyone on this board or in person who holds to this view?

Oh, don't get me wrong, there are a few. In fact, the Reconstructionist Chalcedon Report and orthodox preterist Ken Gentry have written volumes againt this form of preterism, which they call the Hymenaen heresy.

Engelsma knows this, which makes his tome far less important than it could be.

Sorry, but that IS the definition of preterism.

Others go out of their way to back away from it, because they realize how heretical it is.

Like being proud to call yourself a semi-pelagian, even though real pelagianism is so unworthy of the gospel of grace.

Amen. If this is the best they can do to refute the truth, then the truth stands strong.
