Bible Note: Tim I don't think it is matter of shying away from something volatile. The question is to what end? The pre, mid, and post trib debate has raged for generations, without end. To rehash it here serves what purpose? There has to be a thousand books defending any one position, comparing them, showing error of doctrine, debating them, and etc. By bringing it up here would do what? Other than show who possibly is best debater. Do you think anyone will change their beliefs? And if they do who is to say that their new position is correct? I suspect most people here attend a church, their church probably teaches their position on pre, mid, post or no trib. If one could/would change another’s beliefs probably the most that would be accomplished is to now have that person at odds with what their church believes. Therefore all we have accomplished is bringing strife. I think the forum should stay with answerable questions, and shy away from philosophical debates without end. |
