1 | The fruit and leaves of the tree of life | Gen 2:9 | BradK | 184479 | ||
Hello jonp, That's one long sentence, my friend. And, hard to follow. Without no intent on being disrespectful, might I suggest that you be a bit more concise in your posts? I also don't buy your conclusion on the millenium:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi I am sorry if you found my note too long but as you will appreciate it is not always easy to be simple when dealing with complicated issues (But you did ask :-))) ). Each of us has to make up our own minds on eschatology. It is a question about which evangelicals have different viewpoints. But what is important is that we recognise that such issues are secondary. The moment the Lord has come for His own what follows will be in His hands entirely, and we may all be wrong. That is why there is so little agreement on the issues. What matters is that we concentrate on the primary issues, while by all means discussing the others in a friendly and loving way. What is undoubtedly wrong is to fall out with other Christians because of their views on the events connected with the second coming. When the Lord takes His own it will include amillennialists, pre-millennialist and post-millennialists, as well as preterites, and all will be equally welcomed. The purpose of eschatology is to be a comfort and a spur, not a cause for division. I used to believe in millennium, but I began to see that the idea contained far too many problems to be true, not least because neither Jesus nor Paul mention it. And alkso because it is neither one thing nor the other. I believe in the centrality of the true Gospel and prefer to have my eyes fixed on the eternal kingdom. 'Set your mind upon things above, and not on things on the earth, for you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God' (Colossians 3.1-2). Best wishes Jonp | ||||||
