Bater's comment implied using political/coercive means to advance (thus the uncessary rhetoric of "holy utopianism"---that's poisinong the well) the kingdom, something posts are routinely accused of. If that is the thrust of the statement, then hopefully I could factually rebut it with scholarly quotations.
Yes, that is what I was arguing that the kingdom of God is not advanced by political means. I certainly agree that preaching is the means, but it is not human means.
Hey:

Well, then answer me this: What is the difference between your presentation of Postmillennialism and Amillennialism?

And, then how does this fit with Revelation 20:7ff?

Blessings,
