The website on the chart is not mine. Furthermore Free Republic limits partial articles to 300 words. So, to offer an extra long article it is necessary to link to the original article. So glad to hear from you!

when I see comments like yours, I wonder about the humbleman who tended to comment similarly, do we know what’s become of him?

A commeent on the nature of the sourcing site for this thread:

About (click here); Charles Meek and his "Prophecy Questions" is the blog site being pimped.

On that site Charles Meek makes the "About" statement:

"We have articles on almost every aspect of eschatology, with an emphasis on a defense of the preterist view."

Furhermore, in the body of this article, the author exposes the underlying premise of the preterist is this:

"The preterist view, which is demonstrably the most biblical, is that the Parousia was Jesus’ coming in judgment in AD 70 against the apostate Jewish nation."
Unfortunately, this premise is based on several presuppositions which come from logical fallacies and eisegesis; that is, reading into Bible passages meanings that are not there.

In contrast, the precise use of the literal, grammatical, syntactical, contextual, cultural, historical hermeneutic yields by eisegesis an interpretation that the spiritually mature disciple uses to confute not only the preterist, but also the Seventh Day Adventist (who does believe in a different "advent" than the preterist), the denominationalist (who trusts that a global episcopacy as the structure of Christ's body), the papist (confused that his local "church" has another head than the Christ of the Bible), or any other religionist who likewise reject's Jehovah's invitation to His sin-rotten human seeker,

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:" (Isaiah 1:18 AV).
> Those reasoning apart from God's approved hermeneutic in which He is involved, will always find themselves in error. And so it is for the preterist, who think that this has already happened:
Matthew 24:30,31 (AV)
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man comingἔρχομαι erchomai in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his electchosen ones from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 
Tell the preterist, this is the Real Christ, and this advent is yet in the future, contrary to Charles Meek.

But for you and I, making a comment opposing preterism is likely to get you into a debate in which you cannot "win" with a preterist who considers his theology insurmountable.

You might rather feel like putting your effort into evangelism efforts where it can count. Let God deal with the preterist, unless it is someone who wants a good reason to escape that cult.
