Ah yes! The Preterist Gary DeMar who asserts that all prophesy has been fulfilled and that the resurrection of Daniel 12:2 happened in A.D. 70. He claims it was a spiritual rather than a physical resurrection. The likes of DeMar, Gentry, and Rushdoony should be shunned like the plague.
You have MISCHARACTERISED and slandered some fine brothers in the Lord, in that you have CONFUSED two viewpoints.. ONE view is that of FULL PRETERISM..this is the view that ALL prophecy, (INCLUDING the 2d Coming) has already occured.
Let me say with emphasis, that Gary DeMar, Dr, Kenneth Gentry and Dr. R.J.Rushdoony are not and never have been FULL Preterists. This is a canard, usually brought by Dispensationalists who are generally confused about Preterism.
Rather, these men hold to the historical Reformed view of Post Millillenial thought, they are also PARTIAL Preterists; they do NOT advocate FULL preterism,they’ve NEVER taught that ALL Prophecy has been fullfilled.
PARTIAL preterism is the thought that MOST Biblical prophecy has been fulfilled, the ONLY thing left to happen in the future is Christ 2d Coming, occuring on that Last Day.(hence the term PARTIAL.)
In my opinion, (for what it’s worth), it is Dispensationalism which should be “shunned” like the plague.I KNOW Dispensationalism from within..Since I live in Dallas, throughout the years I’ve met many teachers from Dallas Theological Seminary, including John Walvoord, Charles Ryrie and others; I’ve also known many who have been graduates of DTS. I have been bombarded with this teaching all my life.
After much study, and more than a few years, The Lord led me out of the foggy miasma of Dispensationalism, through the ministry of R. C.Sproul, and others, including Gary DeMar.
DeMar’s book, “LAST DAYS MADNESS” refutes Dispensationalism very well; but also explains the PARTIAL preterism view, as well as explaining a bit about Post Millenialism. This view makes MORE SENSE than Dispensationalism ever has. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in learning about OTHER Conservative Historic Christian views of Prophecy.
