Can I do that? I mean, I just do not have the time to do a serious, devoted, in-depth study of all the various theories in regards to Eschatology...anyone else there with me?

Sure you can do that for a season. But as one wanting to grow in knowledge of what a great deal of Scripture is devoted to, that is not a good place to remain. But certainly,, there are many other interesting areas to devote one's attention to, but eschatology is not an unimportant area.

No doubt. I don't think I would stay stuck on agnostic in eschatology, however, there is just so much on the subject that it can be a bit overwhelming. I believe that with time, in my personal bible study and what we study at church and in home fellowship, more will be revealed, so to speak. :wink:

Why don't you and I just have some realized chats on Paltalk nights. Sometimes talkng with issues makes learning more enjoyable.

Been there done that. (of course I didn't stay there).

Eventually, I decided to take the time to study eschatology. (I thought I was going to discover a futruist interpretation that made sense. Of course now I know there is no such thing. :wink: )

I think that there is a small amount of eschatology required in the gospel. Acts 16:31 says that if we believe in Jesus, we will be saved. We have to know what it means to be saved. That is, there is a kingdom in the end where we will dwell with Christ forever. After that, the rest is details.

Doesn't the partial preterist view make the book of Revelation somewhat irrelevant for today (and for the last 1934 years)? This is a question, not an argument.

Only if the reign of Christ is irrelevant.

This is very true, DeeDee. I am going to have to figure out a better way to connect to the internet so I can actually participate in TWeb's PalTalk 'thang'...I'll keep you posted. I appreciate the offer. :teeth:

Yep...there is just alot of info out there, and like the varied theologies here on TWeb one can find scriptural support for each, so it would indeed require some in-depth study. I think it was Faramir who stated (paraphrasing here) that so much ties into ones position on different aspects of eschatology, the millenium tends to tie in with the tribulation, and so on...like the "domino effect" if you will. I await all input with anticipation.
