Jude 2

How the full perterist believe about the return of Christ?
If ALL the prophecy's have been fulfilled in the first century.
Anyone care to explain.

Depends on where you get your definition for "Preterist"

The way I understand it is:

The ALL PROPHECIES ARE FULFILLED belief is labled HYPER-Preterist, while a belief that MOST is Fullfiled is preterist, and a belief that SOME HAS BEEN fulfilled is partial-preterist.

Even YOU are a partial-preterist.

Oh, I didn't relies that there were three category. I only understood them to be two: Full and partial-preterist.

Then I would guess that only the Hyper-Preterist would say that Christ has came already and don't look for his return. Would I be right in my assumption?

I believe so.

I am confused whether or not Hyper-Preterist and Full Preterist are interchangable....so even my definition may be suspect.

An interesting read is Kenneth Gentrys online essay A Brief Theological Analysis of Hyper-Preterism

Gentry received a Doctorate from Whitfield Theological Seminary and has wriiten several non-hyperPreterist Preterist books on Eshatology.
