Preterists et al believe to varying degrees that THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST HAS REPLACED THE BLOOD DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB IN TERMS OF ALL GOD’S PROMISES.

Well, according to you I must be somewhat of a "preterist": I believe that the Church of Jesus Christ has been "grafted into" the "vine" of the blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in terms of all of God's promises.

But, as far as I know, a "preterist" is someone who believes all of the "end-time" events of Daniel/Ezekiel/Revelation already took place in 70 A.D. And, in that sense I am no preterist, as indicated in my Post #37. Specifically, the text of Ezekiel 38 presents a chronology problem I could not explain away if I were to argue the "preterist" contention.

Sorry for the bother.

No bother, Quix. I appreciate the reply!

NO. I believe that, too.

REPLACEMENTARIANS believe that God is

NOT ANY LONGER FULFILLING ANY OF HIS PROMISES TO ABRAHAM

TO THE BLOOD DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM—ONLY TO CHRISTIANS.
