I would love to see the sola scriptura crowd use the bible to justify these ideas.

I did not know this (yet) ... would have asked it in Catechism class when the subject came up. The Lutheran church is of the amillennism belief, so theoretically I know what that is... but doubtful I remember any of it.  |

Whenever I'm in the car with one of my parents on I-5, I often wonder if the Protestant theory on that is true and happened, or if traffic is just being slow.
