Labels are a good thing. Otherwise known as “definition.” It stops us from having to repetitively go over the same arguments every time, just to get a thing defined.

Except when they’re used - in this case - to end discussion and put down the people they’re used against.

“He’s just a preterist. Nothing to see here. Move along.”

You use labels when you want to write off someone else or they’re views. It’s easier than saying “consider the source.”

So yeah, keep using your labels. I stand by and for the truth.

"In this case..." Hmmm... When did I do that? Don't get me wrong, I am directly in opposition to Preterism, but I did not use you poorly at all.

I called your theory "Classic Preterism," which, in point of fact, it seems to be. True?

I don’t consider deception from hell,

the truth.
