Are you trying to fight the issue of eschatology or merely using it as your foil for pointing out the inadequacy of using the creeds? I was not sure what direction you were moving in your post. | No, this post is not to fight with historical premil view, I am just trying to raise the issue of the usage of the creeds by which preterism is condemned, thus inconsistency exists. I think nobody would call historical premil as heresy and so am I.
