I hold to my beliefs you have yours I just happen to feel through my study of Scripture that dispensatonal Pre Millinalism is the most corect I am not tied down to this interpretaion it is just one I favor.  | Why would God through the process of revealing all of this for a "live and let live attitude"? Especially if you have really read Beale and are quite familiar with his arguments, then you would see how this all effects our daily Christian walk. A good Reformed motto is the imperative flows from the indicative. Or, a another way, eschatology matters - 'shining brass on the titanic' or 'we are going to take this place over is all too practical for our daily lives. Yet, you know what really matters.
All the same, it is good to see a steady dose of relativism reach the Puritan Board. |
The reason I have the as you say "live and live attitude" is because so many make Eschatolgy a test of Orthodoxy it is not. This is especlly true of many Dispensationalists and some Amillinilists where you are looked upon as less reformed or Calvinistc if you are a Dispensationalist. That's why I take this view because the brethran should not be devided over third tere issues. There is an attack on The Penal Substition of Christ going on Homosexuality is being enshrined in various "denominations" beleivers are being persicuted heavelly in forign countries why argue over such a spirtual mote? But if my Dispensationalist view is attacked or declared some sort of Error or Heresy I will defend it because I feel it is right and correct I just keep it close to my heart because there are more importnet things to argue over then the time of Christ's comeing or a divison of the people of God for a short period who will then be joind togther as one people under mantel of the redeemed the argument that Dispensationalism devides the people of God is dated with that being said I have said all I have to say on this subject and I am done to qoute Martin Luther here I stand I can do no other.
God Bless in peace and truth
