Preterism - the view that biblical prophecies have already been fulfilled




You will be both smarter and better-looking if you read this:

Rethinking Heaven and Hell: On Preterism, N.T. Wright and the Churches of Christ


That's right - we are on the cutting edge of contemporary eschatological thinking.

In all seriousness, this is one of the characteristic traits of Churches of Christ in which I take great joy.

I think the main characteristic of the churches of christ has been tradition and claiming to be "the people of the word" but within the confines of what "our tradition had said", which hinders many from seeing what Paul was actually saying. In reality this view, is genuine first century church tradition, which is hard for people to see today because they have a difficult time stepping into the mindset of the 1st century writer - the true intent of God's word (for New Testament)
