Question
Hello,

How are you today. I was trying to figure out where and when did the Preterist doctrine come about and was it ever a part of Catholicist eschatalogy.

Answer
Dear Michael:

The Preterist doctrine seems to have been taught very early in Christianity. The full preterist doctrine is that all Bible prophecy was completely fulfilled in the first century. This is certainly incompatible with Catholic teaching. Partial Preterism means that the prophecies were partially fulfilled in the first century, but the complete fulfilment is yet to come. I don't see any problem with this view. I don't know alot about this doctrine, but I hope that I was of some help to you.

God Bless You,
Sal

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.

Experience

I have studied the Catholic faith for twenty years. I have conducted adult education classes in the teachings of the Catholic Church. I have taught teenagers the Catholic faith. I have taught Bible Study.
