Critical Eras

[Resha Caner]

Do you think one era ranks as more important to Christianity than another? Assuming most Christians would say the life of Christ (and possibly the attending apostolic age) was the most important, would you distinguish the importance of other eras?

Good answer ... though what we learn from the past may influence tomorrow.

Yes, I learned the hard way...... the 'school of hard knocks'..... graciously (thanks to God) ..... some things don't end up good..... So I won't do those things again (I hope) ....

I do.

I believe that this "millennium" (church age) is the culmination of all things, the fulfillment and the eschatology of Old Testament prophecy, beginning with the first advent of Christ until he returns again. I stretch an "era" within Christian history with the way God has dealt with men by way of revelation and covenant (even within the Old Testament). All things post-resurrection (of Christ) is the most important era than all others to the Church and to the world.

That's a big era. Do you ever look at smaller sub-eras?

In whose perspective? In what part of the world?

I don't know. I asked you.

It is all subservient to the big picture.

Some have said that we have entered the "post-Christian" era in the West, while Christianity appears to be dawning in East Asian countries (ex. China). What appears to be the downfall of the major influence of the faith in society in one part of the world has yet to reach its zenith in another part. This is just an example.

OK.

I believe the most important era for Christianity is when a pagan Emperor of Rome (Constantine) hi-jacked it and inserted a false one. Immediately convened the Council of Nicaea, then perverted as best he could. When the Reformation happened, they needed to completely start over. But they did not. So, they are just offshoots of that false church.

That is why God admonishes us to "come out of her" (Babylon) in Rev. 18.
