@TheologianExpert That may be, but it's a bit ridiculous to group Preterism in with them, since it is just an understanding of fulfilled eschatology, and not an organized group by any means. At least not as far as I know. There may be conferences, but Institutional orthodox churches have those get togethers as well. I doubt seriously that you would find Preterists jumping off balconies or rooftops because of their beliefs.

Preterism a cult? Lol. To believe in the work of Christ, is to believe he finished that which he said he finished. The New Covenant was established, and the authority of the Old Covenant was done away with. Everything was accomplished, it is only a question of understanding the apocryphal and prophetic language they used (which can be hard, I understand). Any student of covenant theology should have no problem coming to understand fulfilled eschatology.

Full preterism, which many call Hyper, has the most Scripture to back it up, taken into context that is.

" For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."

(Matthew 24:34 ESV)

That 1st century generation saw it all, even the coming of the Son of Man. The resurrection is still happening today. So is the second death. AMEN!!

I'm a Christian whom has a preterist understanding of prophecy and I have not found one person who can refute its proper exegesis. The problem is is there is a wrong and right form of preterism.

This video describes very precisely how cults operate, i.e. JW, Mormans, Harold Camping-Family Radio, Herbert W. Armstrong (from years ago); EST; and various self-help "clleansing cults" that go on retreats in the mountains and sit for hours in hot saunas until they pass out, or engage in life threatning things like jumping off balconies, or roof tops, etc. for "over-coming their fears."

@aviyahu01 the fact that the non-preterists are so quick to shout heresy is what i mean by being culty...as soon as some details get unfamiliar, but make sence at the same time, is when you see the panic and extreme responses and judgements. i believe this is why so many assemblies have been ripped apart by it.

[aviyahu01]

i've seen both sides of the preterist thing and they both have a lot to answer for...it seems to me to be a cult either way after examining the evidence, because the non-preterists still havent come up with a decent explanation for the verses they quote. they only seem to quote OTHER verses to try and refute the doctrine. i'm still waiting for either side to PROVE itself, but so far preterist seem to have a stronger arguement, but go way too far with it.

Very good video. Fortunately people are beginning to wake up to this. At first the Internet was their primary recruiting ground when it was still relatively new, but now more and more people are challenging them where they took root.

Wow! Spot-on the best video you have produced yet.  It takes on more than hyperpreterism but gets at the root of all cultic movements.
