Eschatology 201 Guidelines

This area of the forum is primarily for Christian theists to discuss orthodox views of Eschatology. Other theist participation is welcome within that framework, but only within orthodoxy. Posts from nontheists that do not promote atheism or seek to undermine the faith of others will be permitted at the Moderator's discretion - such posters should contact the area moderators before posting.


Without turning this forum into a 'hill of foreskins' (Joshua 5:3), I believe we can still have fun with this 'sensitive' topic.

However, don't be misled, dispensationalism has only partly to do with circumcision issues. So, let's not forget about Innocence, Conscience, Promises, Kingdoms and so on.

End time -isms within orthodox Christianity also discussed here. Clearly unorthodox doctrines, such as those advocating "pantelism/full preterism/Neo-Hymenaeanism" or the denial of any essential of the historic Christian faith are not permitted in this section but can be discussed in Comparative Religions 101 without restriction. Any such threads, as well as any that within the moderator's discretions fall outside mainstream evangelical belief, will be moved to the appropriate area.

Millennialism- post-, pre- a-

Futurism, Historicism, Idealism, and Preterism, or just your garden variety Zionism.

From the tribulation to the anichrist. Whether your tastes run from Gary DeMar to Tim LaHaye or anywhere in between, your input is welcome here.

OK folks, let's roll!

    I just don't know how you can get past the fact that the apostles taught futurism. 2 Thess 2 is just one example. It in no way reflects a destruction of Jerusalem, or even an anticipation of a coming destruction, but reflects Paul putting their hysteria about the return of Christ in check with more dire signs to look for that would precede that event. That's futurism.
    Future to the apostles yes. The reference in 2 Thess 2 states that the signs of the future events had already begun which is not inconsistent with a preterist-type application to the destruction of Jerusalem. The book of 1 Peter as well as Revelation, Matt 24, and Luke 21 also contain a tone and explicit statements of imminence.
