Max Kings book The Cross and the Parousia is a stout book but well worth the dig. He examines most of the "popular" views and dissects them.
He also has a great booklet that is a published debate that covers a lot of material too. The McQuiggan-King debate.
reconsillyation,Hidden Manna said:One thing I do not believe is in unerversal reconsillyation. That is like saying God will save those who not have faith along with those who do. Jesus even mentions separating goats from sheep in Matt.25

What I particularly like is the part where he talks about the transmillenial fixing that "chicken little -the sky is falling-mentality that is so prevelant right now. And how this view can help us join together and really make a difference in the world for the next generation (and so on). One of the things I really hate about futurism is the "excapist" mentality. (I realize that not all futurist are like this.) Aren't we here to enjoy LIFE? To enjoy all that God has created? I want to enjoy the life God has given me, and I want my kids to enjoy the life God has given them. I want to die knowing that I impacted people in a good way, that I made a difference in this world. I want to leave this world a little better off.
I just don't think that it's healthy for the focus of a person's faith to be on Jesus' return. I think the focus of a person's faith should be to go out and "be God's hands and feet". To live life striving to be more like Jesus.
I don't know, I just don't understand the attitude. Why would anyone want to be taken from this wonderful world? I know that horrible things happen, and times can be rough, and people can be cruel; but this world is so amazing and God's creation is so awesome, and the good things that happen make it all so worthwhile. Maybe I'm just too much an optimist.....
whoo hoo! Thanks for leading my there. I have promptly joined up and looking forward to learning!!! YAAAAHidden Manna said:I love your attitude, if only more people were like you they would be enjoying what God has given instead what waiting for it all to be destroyed.
Here is the friendliest and most informative forum I've seen

Good point. Most don't realize how pivotal and decisive 70ad is and they blythly (sp?) run on by with all the blessings without a second thought as to how they got them...Hidden Manna said:I think we would rather start at the beginning "70 AD" because that is where people need to go back to in order to move on from there.
What interests me is to see where in the scripture is there a continuing of the New Covenantal applications. An example is Jesus still making war with nations who oppose Him. Does Jesus still tread the winepress and how does He deal with unrepentant sinners.
I would say that He deals with them through us if we are walking in the Spirit and not the flesh. What are you thoughts?

I posted over at NJM, but didn't get much response.
What do you think of the NHE being about the covenants, but the new creation being the transition that each of us goes through on conversion?
I am still not clear on the comprehensive grace thing, but it seems pretty alien to conversion and evangelism. Have you studied it much?
