1 | Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? | Rom 9:21 | JRdoc | 61491 | ||
There are several views on the Second Coming of Christ. The details on such a thread would need to be handled chapter by chapter (of the Book of Revelation). You would get interpretation after interpretation. I am willing, but it would need to be regulated (one week on chapter 1, one week on chapter 2, or something similar.....to give everyone an opportunity to post...) Though I "know" there are differences on this issue it should not separate unity--this is not an atonement or other issue of such mammoth importance to one's eternity....(please do not think it is not important, I do not think that...and Christ even adds a very severe warning to those whom He knows will attempt to pervert the book). I merely mean that if one is not saved, his view on the Second Coming does not matter, either way he is going some place else, of course than he would understand a little more about the time of his going. In essence I am not dogmatic about this issue--of time, though I do have an opinion backed up from the original language, history, ....... Certain things that one should keep in mind about the Revelation: 1. Every "credible (that holds some credence that is--only one is really legitimate) view" holds that Christ is Coming Again--We All Agree. This is pivotal. This is the Revelation--He is Coming. 2. Now as to when, there is the problem. I would guess from the other posts I have seen here that most here are pre-trib...there may be a couple of Post Tribs and I know there is at least one A-Mil (myself). The whole of when Christ is coming back revolves around Revelation 20 and one's interpretation thereof. Once done the interpretation of Revelation unfolds beautifully. Another study I would urge one to take is on the origins of dispensationalism (Scofield)--tracing its history through automatic handwriting (yes, cultic), the return of the Tongues movement, Lewis Way of the "London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews", its doctrine manifested by a Chilean Jesuit (The Coming of Christ in Glory and Majesty (ca. 1791)), Henry Drummond, Edward Irving, and the list goes on. Tracing its history you wonder how any Christian could ever hold to it? If you and others desire to begin a thread on Rev we can go Chapter by Chapter. ANyone for a Rev THread? Start it. |

JRdoc:Having studied all four basic views of the Millennium, I am suprised your a Amillennialist. But I can forgive you for it. Please do not link Dispensational Premillialist with promoting the tongues movement. I personally think that making a study through Revelation whoul have so many dihherent points of theological understanding, this forum would be over loaded with defensiveness of the various positions it would be more heartache than value. That's just my opinion. God bless. justme |

Hello Justme, I'm sorry to say that JRdoc's forum privelages seem to have been revoked. He guesses it was over the issue of dispensatonalism. I have no idea if that was indeed the case. John |

John:Thank you for responding to me, that was kind of you. But Then I will ask you. Do you believe in grave sleep? Also, do you believe in a body, soul , and spirit or just a body and soul, or body and spirit. This has been three issues I have never seen on the forum. I hope things are ok for you, you are very bright and I respect your knowledge. Justme |

OK, I got a break to wipe the sweat off. 1. Do I believe in grave sleep? 2. Do I believe in a body, soul , and spirit or just a body and soul, or body and spirit. Regarding "grave sleep", to be frank, I hav'nt given it much thought. When I consider my own eventual death (should the Lord tarry) I am put in mind of 2 Cor 5:8. "we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." What is your definition of "grave sleep" (sounds rather morbid, don't you think)? And what scriptures suggest that such a state even exists? On your 2nd question, again, though not completely ignorant, must confess to having but a partial understanding. I do know that the triune nature of man was considered heretical by the early church but it has been awhile since I read about it and will need to refresh my memory regarding the particulars. John |

John: In several places Paus referes to those who are asleep in the Lord. 1 Cor.15:51, is one place that refers to this. I find a problem with the idea as what about those bodys that have been destroyed by fire, by accident or for cremation. I do not mean it in a morbid way, it is a theology I have read about. the question of body, soul, and spirit is called a tricodomy and body and spirit or soul is a bicodomy of the three to two. Most people I know believe in two. I don;t want you to work up a sweat over this, but these questions have not been dealy with before, I don;t think. Thanks. justme |
