Watch me! You watch me and this Mr. Cessna man here, I'll be the first preacher to buy a brand new, spankin' new, brand new jet that will fire all over this world. Get that sucker out of that glass hanger!...You can say all you want, Jack. I'll fly by your house and tip the wing. I'm gonna get something for Jesus. I'm gonna do something for God.

Within the discussion as to whether or not Preterism (whether full or partial) is scriptural, the main question that I have found is regarding whether or not Jesus Christ was a false prophet.
This may be a harsh comment to make. However, when we look at scripture, we understand that Christ not only was the Son of God, but also that he was by nature an Apocolyptic Prophet. And by being such a prophet, if what he said were to have come true, then we would have no need of questioning his claim as to being not only a prophet, but also the Son of God - Redeemer and saviour of the world.
Yet, if his apocalyptic prophesies never borne any fruit, then we must (by scriptural standards) state that Christ was a false prophet, and if a false prophet, then he is logically a false Messiah as well.
Thus, when considereing the preteristic position and determining whether it is outright heresy, ask yourself the question - Would I dare declare that my lord and saviour whom I love and worship a false prophet and messiah?
Think about it for a moment.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The problem is that futurists redefine the nature and timing of Christ's original predictions.
In the same manner as when Satan questioned Eve with, "Did God really say...?", the futurists contort the words of Christ by asking "Did Jesus really mean this generation, those standing here, etc?".
