Full Preterist holds these truths as I understand them; 1. God's wrath on man has been pacified through Christ sacrifice on the cross. The finality or icing on the cake being in 70 A.D.. Complete removal of the law that held us in bondage. 2. Satan with all his influence, was thrown into the abyss, being chained forever. This is part of all of the book of Revelation being fulfilled. 3. The resurrection has happened, all the dead has risen making Sheol an empty place. Here lies my conundrum. Why, oh why, do "Full Preterist" have such a hard time believing in universal salvation. What they/we teach goes further than a lot of universalist I know and correspond with. Some universalist believe Sheol/hell still exist holding the spirits of all who've gone before and they will not be released until the day of judgment, that is still yet to come. Then when judgment day arrives only those who believed in Christ will be released and those who don't will have to stay, being tormented, until they do. Kind of like putting someones arm behind their back until they cry uncle. This to me is asinine, making no since what so ever. I call it Eventual Salvation. Anyway, what I'm suggesting you do, being a Full Preterist, is take another look at what happened to Satan in the last chapters of the book of Revelation.
