    Eschatology is a heavily complex and debated field of study perhaps the most complex in all of theology. I am a dispensationalist and a pre triber. However this is not to say that those that disagree with me are wrong in all areas. After having read half of RC Sprouls book "the last days according to Jesus" I am more open to the possibility that I could be wrong in my eschatology. Some posters would dismiss the entire arguments of those that are partial preterists but I disagree with this. Anyone on this board hold to partial preterism and what are your arguments?

    His views came out of a book from believe a Russell, and since that theology requires AD 70 asfulfilling all prophect, woul disregard it!

    That's full preterism. Partial preterism still holds that some prophecy is yet to be fulfilled while some has been already fulfilled.

    Correct. Amazing how many people on this board confuse the two.

    Only thing left for them would be the second coming though, correct?

    That would depend on the person. It's not a 100% unified system. For some, that could be all that remains.

    Almost all eschatology is unprovable until it's all over. It can't be verified or falsified; it's a matter of interpretation.

    That's not entirely true, but even if it were, that would be a massive difference.

    Amillennialism spiritualizes most things. How would that be all that more tolerable from having some things already literally fulfilled and waiting on the rest?

    So true. That describes me. Yet some people won't see the difference.

    Anything that denies a future, literal, and physical return of Christ is heresy.
