Just a Vapor

Not to pick on Elmo, but I will use his comment to springboard what a slight change of plans.

I’m inclined toward preterism but if you can show me where I’m wrong then I’m interested.

I do hope to show you where I believe you’re wrong. I planned on writing an essay, or just a really long, in-depth post detailing why I am a dispensationalist and reject preterism. However, time is not something I have an over-abundance of, so I’ve decided to do it a little at a time in post format. This is a blog after all, isn’t it? I’m also somewhat lacking in content other than the usual “My Utmost” posts, and this should give me a good excuse to write about something.

I will be creating a new category just for these posts. Because I am not only a dispensationalist, but also believe that we are nearing the time of the end, the category will be called “Signs of the Times” (a little cliche, I know.)

I only need to come up with an outline to get started. Maybe I’ll have to turn this into a Bible Study. Anyone interested in that idea? This mean just about anything. I could take a passage at a time and describe how it fits into eschatology. I could solicit posts from others (on the main page, not comments) to get discussion going. I could even get the forum I started really going for some open discussion/debate. Maybe I do some or all of the above. Comments on this are encouraged.

I think, in the Final analysis, we’ll discover all the misconceptions we’ve held to weren’t so important anyway, so long as Christ was preeminent.

I agree, and I hope that this attitude will keep everything civil and loving. As long as we can agree on the core theology of salvation, we are brothers and sisters in Christ and should treat each other that way. (Elmo’s a good guy, I’m not worried about him at all, but I do have some concern about some of the die-hard preterists that will inevitably find their way here who may not behave themselves so well.)
