Did God restore on Earth what was lost with Adam?

Imagine saying that in AD 70, God restored on Earth what was lost with Adam.

This is exactly what the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult guys say happened in AD 70.

They hyper-spiritualize “death”, and they make it be “spiritual death”.

They say this “spiritual death” was destroyed in AD 70, and “spiritual life” that Adam allegedly lost was restored in AD 70 for certain people on Earth who were “eagerly awaiting the second coming of Christ”.

Their definition of “spiritual death” is “separation from God” and “no longer having the image of God”, and they say this was lost in Adam’s “spiritual death”.

They claim biological physical death has nothing to do with their definition of “spiritual death” that Adam allegedly brought in the beginning.

At what they say is “the second coming of Christ in Spirit in AD 70”, this “spiritual death” was destroyed, and “spiritual life” that was “lost with Adam” was then restored to mankind.

The cult members in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism Cult teach that you can right now have this “spiritual life” that Adam lost in the beginning, because “spiritual death” was allegedly destroyed in AD 70.

Of course, it’s totally transcendence and mental ascension, which is no different than Occult New Age religion transcendence!

Since they say that “Christ came in Spirit at his second coming in AD 70”, then anybody who accepts the “gospel” of “Christ’s second coming in AD 70”, can immediately be reconciled to God and enjoy the “Presence” of the “Christ who came back the second time in Spirit in AD 70”.

They also teach that “Heaven and Earth” is myth, metaphor, allegory, symbolism, hyperbole, and poetry for temple, covenant, Israel, the holy of holies, and more.

They teach that “the Old Heaven and Earth” is a story about how God created “the old temple” and “the old covenant” and “the old covenant people”.

The literal Heavens above and the literal Earth we now live on is traded in for a mystical and hyper-spiritualized “Heaven and Earth” that allegedly represents temple, covenant, Israel, etc.

These cult members teach “the New Heaven and Earth” came in AD 70, and this means “a new temple” and “a new covenant” came for “old covenant Israel” that was “resurrected” as “new covenant Israel” as “the Church”.

They say that ever since AD 70, the “Presence” of the “Christ” that “came back in AD 70 as Spirit” is inside the “new temple on Earth” that is the “Church”, the “New Jerusalem”, and the “New Heaven and Earth”.

If you believe all this hogwash, they will tell you that you can right now be “inside the new temple on Earth” that is the “New Jerusalem” and “New Heaven and Earth” that “came in AD 70”, and you will immediately have “spiritual life” that was “restored in AD 70”, and you will immediately be in the “Presence” of the “Christ” that “came back the second time in AD 70 in Spirit”.

Yes! This is Occult New Age religion teaching!

As you can tell, it takes A LOT of very special cult teaching and A LOT of very special cult definitions in order to begin to get a grip on this cult’s doctrine.

It all begins with sucking somebody in with “audience relevance” and “age-ending time texts” in the Bible.

Once somebody becomes enthralled with one of these cult teachers because of these two “bait on the hook” teachings, the indoctrination process begins.

Thank God that anybody who is truly saved will come to realize that “Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism” is a cult, and they will separate from these cult teachers and warn others about them.

Sadly, those who don’t know better get indoctrinated into this cult.

The main teacher in this cult, Don Preston, does not even believe that anybody after AD 70 can be baptized with the Holy Spirit by God, as he claims this ended in AD 70 with “the second coming of Christ”.

Don Preston teaches that you must join the “resurrected in AD 70 Church” that is now “the new temple on Earth” and “the New Jerusalem on Earth” in order to be in the “Presence of Christ” that “returned in Spirit the second time in AD 70”.

Don Preston teaches that it is “inside the Church” that is the “New Jerusalem on Earth” where the “Presence of Christ” is now found ever since AD 70.

Don Preston teaches that the “fullness of the Godhead” dwells in “the resurrected in AD 70 Church”, and if you believe all this insane “Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism” doctrine, you can allegedly right now be in the “Presence” of “the fullness of the Godhead”.

All you need to do is believe Don Preston’s “gospel”, and become a member of “the new covenant age Church” that was once “old covenant age Israel”, and believe that “the resurrection of Israel” took place in AD 70 as “the Church” and “the new temple” and “the new covenant” and “the New Jerusalem” and “the New Heaven and Earth”!

This is how these cult members in the Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism cult define “the second coming of Christ as Spirit in AD 70”.

This all started with the founder of this “Covenant Eschatology” cult, Max King, in 1971, with his first book “The Spirit of Prophecy”.

Even Gary DeMar from American Vision is now teaching this insane view of Full Preterism that defines the eschatological parousia (presence) of Christ as “Christ coming in Spirit in the first century”.

“Christ returned the second time in Spirit in AD 70” is how the eschatological (end times) “presence of Christ” is defined in this cult.

Be warned of this cult!
