Quite the scholary rebuttle you made, there. But I can understand... this IS pretty embarrassing for biblically illiterate fundies to have floating around out there.
Then there's this, which only makes it worse for them in the credibility department:
"...It doesn't take very long to realize that a thorough understanding of the Bible -- and this would actually apply to any complex work from any culture -- requires specialized knowledge, and a broad range of specialized knowledge in a variety of fields. Obviously the vast majority of believers spend their entire lives doing little more than reading the Bible in English (or whatever native tongue) and importing into its words whatever ideas they derive from their own experiences. This process is very often one of "decontextualizing"....CLICK
Richard Erdoes: "On the last day of the year 999, according to an ancient chronicle, the old basilica of St. Peter's at Rome was thronged with a mass of weeping and trembling worshippers awaiting the end of the world. This was the dreaded eve of the millennium, the Day of Wrath when the earth would dissolve into ashes. Many of those present had fiven away all of their possessions to the poor - lands, homes, and household goods - in order to assure for themselves forgiveness for their trespasses at the Last Judgment and a good place in heaven near the footstool of the Almighty. Many poor sinners - and who among them was not without sin? had entered the church in sackcloth and ashes, having already spent weeks and months doing penance and mortifying the flesh ... the last day of the year 999 and the first day of the year 1000 had come and gone. Yet still the earth stood still and people still lived." (A.D.2000: Living on the Brink of Apocalypse, 1,194.) ..."
I didn’t try to make a scholarly rebuttle, I’m not a biblical scholar but I can read and understand scholarly material. I can read and translate the NT in the original language and am acutely aware of the exegetical issues in eschatology.
There are many aspects to the preterist view that are, at best, unbiblical and, at worst, just downright silly. These are documented in various places ... search the FR religion archive and they will be there.
Perhaps if I get some time I will post one of the good articles out there dealing with preterism.
