Eschatology 201 Guidelines

This area of the forum is primarily for Christian theists to discuss orthodox views of Eschatology. Other theist participation is welcome within that framework, but only within orthodoxy. Posts from nontheists that do not promote atheism or seek to undermine the faith of others will be permitted at the Moderator's discretion - such posters should contact the area moderators before posting.


Without turning this forum into a 'hill of foreskins' (Joshua 5:3), I believe we can still have fun with this 'sensitive' topic.

However, don't be misled, dispensationalism has only partly to do with circumcision issues. So, let's not forget about Innocence, Conscience, Promises, Kingdoms and so on.

End time -isms within orthodox Christianity also discussed here. Clearly unorthodox doctrines, such as those advocating "pantelism/full preterism/Neo-Hymenaeanism" or the denial of any essential of the historic Christian faith are not permitted in this section but can be discussed in Comparative Religions 101 without restriction. Any such threads, as well as any that within the moderator's discretions fall outside mainstream evangelical belief, will be moved to the appropriate area.

Millennialism- post-, pre- a-

Futurism, Historicism, Idealism, and Preterism, or just your garden variety Zionism.

From the tribulation to the anichrist. Whether your tastes run from Gary DeMar to Tim LaHaye or anywhere in between, your input is welcome here.

OK folks, let's roll!

    Darfius,

    I don’t think you can really object to my wall of text on another thread, if you are going to post a wall of text on this thread.

    Though writing all that, is impressive. Kudos.

    Wow, talk about REALLY bad logic! I mention somebody who "also read the Bible and took it seriously", and you hop on your conclusion jumping horse and ride like the wind!

    No thanks - you're free to spew forth your nonsense without me.

    No, that's not why. Vernon Wayne Howell also read the Bible and took it seriously.

    I've been called crazy many times on this forum for actually reading the Bible and taking it seriously. That says more about the people throwing the slander than it does me.

    The Pharisees added to Scripture to add to their own authority, not to "make things more difficult". In fact, they decreed that one was not obligated to both pay the temple tax and care for one's own parents, which decreased the burden of the Law. Jesus condemned them for this, which you would know if you actually read the Bible and took it seriously, rather than being "saved" in your own eyes and according to the traditions of men you favor, ya know, like the Pharisees.

    Thanks for unsubscribing. It saves me the trouble of asking you not to waste space in my thread if you're not going to contribute meaningful content.

    Korah said some meaningless, undefined "holy speak" like that right before being swallowed alive into hell. Repent.

    This must be you showing your Christian nature. There is nothing dishonest in what LJ said.

    Esther, "chosen ones" is one of the definitions I provided, but that's still too ambiguous to gather all of the answers the Lord provides in His speech. As I mention in the post, there are things one must do to be chosen by God, "chosen" having a connotation of being "called out" from among a larger group to a smaller group in closer fellowship with Him.

I honestly don't understand the logic behind complaining about reading on a forum. It's one thing to say that someone is verbose and wrong, but to simply complain about reading? You sound dumb.
