Where do you want to be?

If you are sincerely asking the question then I would recommend a book
on the four views of the millenium by Clouse. You can find it at amazon or anywhere else. It is a good place to start. It shows the Hermanuetics of how the four major interpretations of scripture are arrived at. Hermaneutics takes into account the use of symbolic, narrative, and other forms of communication when interpretting the scripture. You seem to be quite taken by prophetic material. I am not real concerned with how the world will end. I am more concerned about knowing that everyone must die and give an account for every deed, thought, and word spoken while they lived here on this earth. The Lord is coming for everyone in an individual sense. I do believe the scriptures. And I don't have a totally blind faith in them. |

I don't mind. I am a great admirer of the Puritans. I adhere to a lot
of their beliefs in the Bible. They come from the period of Church History known as the Reformation. It is a period when Martin Luther and others saw a need to rectify some of the churches abuses and they sought to bring the Church back under the authority of the Scriptures. They also were the people that put the Bible into the common everyday language of the people. The Covenanters were a group of Scots that were persecuted but very brave during the same period. They were also Puritans but of the Presbyterian sect. They get a lot of criticism and are usually put in a bad light for stuff like the witch hunts in New England. But that is actually a few hundred years after the reformation. They were not stick in the muds like some people think. Most of them drank and made beer. And Martin Luther was used by God to restore the dignity of women and bring romance and respect back into marriage. |
