It is a corker of a book

 

[singlecandle]

From what I have heard, amillennialism is mostly a Catholic idea.

 

[Iosias]

Then your sources are wrong, moreover one could argue that most of the Christian faith was a Catholic idea considering Catholics predate the Reformation.

I consider myself to be amil - it seems to me to line up most "reasonably" with what scripture teaches on the end times.

It's on my reading list and will eventually get around to it - I have heard Sam Storms preach on this and really liked his presentation.

That's the book mentioned in the OP.

 

[Osage Bluestem]

I was raised amillenial I gave ear to John MacArthur briefly but got over that and I am amillenial in my eschatology.

That's the book mentioned in the OP.

I had this item purchased for the library I work at. It should arrive in the next few weeks, definitely looking forward to reading it.

Finally reading it!

"...let's not lose sight of the practical point Paul is making in this passage in 2 Corinthians 6. It is because we as the Church are the place of God's presence in the world today that we must guard ourselves against any and every expression of idolatry. We are not simply another cultural institution or 'social service meeting the felt needs' of our neighbors. 'Instead, as the new covenant people of God, the Church is the family of God united by a common identity in Christ and gathered around her common worship and fear of 'the Lord Almighty.' May our lives always reflect that glorious and gracious identity." pg 21

The "bless and do not curse" function is at it again. I did see that Piper led discussion and liked it.

Another quote about so-called Progressive Dispensationalism:

“My conclusion is that what at first appears to be a generous inclusion of the Church in Israel’s covenant promises falters on a decisive exclusion from the latter’s inheritance in the land. As much as progressive dispensationalists might want us to think they have moved beyond the distinctives of their classical ancestors, they yet retain a significant dichotomy between Israel and the Church. They want to speak of “one people of God” but can do so only in terms of a common inheritance of “spiritual” blessings. When it comes to the inheritance of the land and those promises associated with it, only ethnic Israelites are recipients.” Progressive Dispensationalism | Feileadh Mor

Thanks for the link. Amillennialism always made the most sense to me. Though when it comes to eschatology, I try not to be too dogmatic.

I read this one last Summer - great stuff! Storms is one of the few theologians that I agree with on just about everything.
