First thanks for the topic, second, anytine you have a division within the belief itself, it's not of God.... Partial Preterists, and full Preterists? that's confusion and it's not of God, for God is not the author of confusion. so let's look as the confusion root to understand the ERROR. in reading the linked article.
THE PAROUSIA TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE LIFETIME
OF SOME OF THE DISCIPLES.
let's look at this first ERROR, #1 about our Lord's return in the disciple lifetime.
the reason for this error is that the return of our Lord and Saviour is a two fold return. what do we mean? First in Spirit, then in body. the Preterists scriptures used here for this return are,
Matthew 16:28" Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom”. and Mark 9:1" And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power”. and lastly Luke 9:27 "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God”.
These three verses of scriptures have puzzle a many of Christians for years. that puzzlement is now over and revealed, and put in place. here was the dilemma of both verses. #1. if the Lord Jesus have not returned in power, even today, (because many are still waiting for his return). then there are some very, very old people walking around today. that idea is not biblical, because no where in the bible is it written after the Lord Jesus spoke theses word is it recorded that any man lived at least 2,000 years after these saying. so this nullifies anyone still walking around as a human, (with blood) over 2,000 years old. even per-flood after the fall of Adam in sin, no one made it to a thousand. so again that theory out.
The second option, #2. our Lord did return as he said he would, in his Kingdom, and in POWER before some of them standing, and in that generation tasted natural death. not spiritual death, but natural death. knowing that our Lord, JESUS, who is God, cannot lie, HE MUST HAVE RETURN BEFORE SOME STANDING AT THAT TIME DIED. (but the question begs to be answered ... WHEN?). so I must accept his words as truth, and therefore search his word out for the revelation. in doing so, we now have the revealing answer?. option #1 is out, that only leaves option #2. option #2 holds the true answer, which we will revealed here. YES, he did return, and here is that revelation.
Without going into any technical details, his first return was on Pentecost, in Spirit, (the manifestation of the Spiritual Gifts), supportive scripture,
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"
John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
and he came to them (HIS DISCIPLES) IN MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS. that fulfiled Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, and Luke 9:27. so his first return, (every eye did not see him, for he came in "manifestation", which is supportive by 1 Corinthians 12:7-11). for the Lord said he would "manifest" himself to his disciples, scripture, John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." so how did he manifest? by indwelling with the Spiritual Gifts. John 14:22 "Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?"
John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." here "abode" means a staying, i.e. residence, a dwelling. BINGO.
his second fold return is in "APPERANCE", bodily. supportive scripture, Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." the second time? the first time he "appeared was in flesh as a babe. and the second fold return is KING in his glorified body, which is yet to happen, supportive scripture, Revelation 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." this is the second "apperance that Hebrews 9:28 speak of.
so his first return of his two fold return is in Spirit, (not every eyes saw it). and his second fold return, (here, every eye will see that, which is yet to come), Revelation 1:7.
so that answers "THE PAROUSIA TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE LIFETIME OF SOME OF THE DISCIPLES". well all of them, not some
which means no return in AD 70.
