No I wasn't -- you just screamed unfair at how John characterizes that Preterist "not in the flesh coming" in 70 AD. John saw Preterism coming 2000 years ago.
Absolutely you were and you know it. 1 John is talking about Christ's first coming, when He was clothed with flesh and tabernacle among His people. This was being denied by the Gnostics and others who claimed Christ was some type of phantasm.
You know that it does not apply to partial preterist (like you find around here) because you know that we have consistently affirmed a future bodily second coming.
Im not sure if you are fundamentally dishonest, just get that way when backed into a corner.
