| The tulip again! |
So I went down a (little) rabbit hole, since I never understood how Hyper-Preterism could become outright atheism (as seems to have happened to many IO proponents). But then I found the missing link (I actually came across it decades ago at some obscure forum). It´s the CBV, of course. The full pipeline seems to look something like this: partial preterism - Individual Body View (IBV) - Collective Body View (CBV) - Israel Only Full Preterism (IO) - atheism.
What´s less clear is why. Why does the trajectory look like *this*? Why not simply become an atheist if you start questioning the standard Bible interpretation? Perhaps a certain kind of fundamentalists can´t do so, unless they have a "Biblical" warrant for it? A radicalized form of hyper-preterism provides such. Now, *that* sounds like an interesting rabbit hole, but perhaps not one I will pursue this weekend...
