Judge:
None of the bible is the word of God in the sense that god dictated none of it.
Men may have been inspired to greater or lesser degrees when wrting some parts, but this might happen a lot, not just in the bible.
The bible does not have to be the "word of god" for preterism to be true. The message in the bible can still be reliable.
But ultimately in "spiritual" matters one grows in confidence (or scepticism perhaps) as one goes along. We need to test what we think must or might be true about God and work from there.

This is so abstract as to be of no benefit. Since you don't believe that the Bible is the "word of God," how do intend to prove full preterism when you debate--by claiming that your "test" about God is better than someone else's?

Why not come and watch?

I don't intend to prove anything.

I intend to show that the coming of Christ, the raising of the dead and the end times are all concurrent in biblical thought.

This is so obvious it only need be pointed out to religious folk.
