True. The early church had a rather odd view of things. I would say your view fits best within idealism as it is not truly concerned with individual apocalyptic expectations but rather the overall battle of good and evil and living our Christian lives while improving the world around us.

For my youtube channel, I was looking to gather some information about how the majority of Christians view the end times. so I wanted to create this poll. Here are what the choices mean for the unaware: Futurism: Most of Bible prophecy has not been fulfilled yet and will be in the last days...

Shabbat shalom. My friend and I are doing a study on Bible prophecy, particularly the four major views on eschatology: preterism, futurism, historicism, and idealism. I was wondering if there were any Messianic Jewish resources on the topic of Bible prophecy, Revelation, Daniel, etc. I want to...

How was the experience? What type of questions did you ask of Wilson and George Knight?

It is rather strange how quiet this area has become. I remember back in the day when it was just one huge Adventist forum, there was a battle everyday. I suppose that has been taken to spectrum haha.

No one has found a direct causation between violent video games and violence. The kid was obviously disturbed. The video game is not the problem the mental illness the kid had is the issue.

You know I was going to ask a genuine question about how one interested in Eastern Orthodoxy might learn a bit more. Than I saw this thread and decided against it. Honestally the rightist fear is thick in this thread. :doh: rusmeister and Katherine made good points however.

As soon as one is made I shall! Oddly enough Chick has actually written positively about Eastern Orthodoxy in one of his anti Catholic tracts lol.

Jack Chick shall be elected leader of General Theology. His word shall be law, and he shall start by removing the accursed Dungeons and Dragons from General Theology. From there, we shall have complete theological orthodoxy! Every dissenting thread will be replied with a logical tract that...

Because Jesus totally wanted us to control and dominate other groups. He clearly wanted his followers to rule the Roman Empire.

When you mix Church with politics horrendous things happen. Power corrupts. We have seen this happen with church leaders who became more interested in gaining political influence than following God. Separation of church and state is good because it allows a free marketplace of ideas. If...

Because Jesus needs a General Tilly or Isabela to protect true Christianity(tm) from the evils of the crazy Protestants and other religions. Resisting injustice is good as well as standing up to tyranny but God isn't so impotent that everything will fall apart if we don't engage in holy...

I think the idea of our faith being more shocking than the appearance of Jesus is a rather arrogant idea.

Without a big organization telling me how to think I am lost! You Catholics are like the Egpytians blindly following your Pharoh and unable to exist without your traditions and organization to tell you what to do. Not to mention the sun worship!(this isn't my belief but this type of diatribe is...

I follow the age old traditions of Jack Chick where there is a demon behind everything I don't like.

Gollum isn't a role model in so much of a lesson of the ability of God to use even morally questionable people to accomplish his will.

Good to see you as well. Didn't realize you were still on CF. It depends on how you look at it I suppose. You can view such theological smackdowns as a way to grow or as a way to take out aggression.

Just like a spirit bomb, it is both literal and symbolic. It showcases sexuality and lovers while also revealing God's deep intimacy for Israel.

Here's a Lil Bub to calm the proclamations.

I agree with this as well. God isn't a professor carefully grading papers to see who fails and who passes, he's a doctor looking for patients to heal.
