You are obviously are a very arrogant and myopic boomer fundamentalist with little understanding of history or Scripture. That is not unusual, boomers and fundamentalists love to delude themselves into believing they are the center of history, the axis upon which all else turns, the pinnacle of history, the terminal generation.

My college was hardly liberal so take your straw man and set it on fire because it is worthless. You are the liberal, if by liberal you intend one who perverts or denies God's Word - you are the one who is asserting, by your errant futurism, that Jesus was a liar.

I fancy time won't open your eyes to the error of your belief system. Futurists of your ilk have been teaching an imminent Second Coming for the last century and a half (since dispensational premillennialism was invented), making asses of themselves and the Gospel. But, so long as fools are willing to buy the books, do bad eisegesis of Scripture and use newspapers as commentaries, there will be chicken littles perverting Scripture, leading folks astray, bringing mockery upon the Gospel and consoling themselves that time is short while they wait for their one way ticket to paradise.

Barring your death - will 2007, 2012, 2017 do anything to your system, your expectation that you live in the 'last generation?' Naw.

So, take your condescending tripe, fold it neatly origami style and shove it. Truth in love friend, hugs and kisses.

I read your #14 and then read this post. In #14 you say, "I try to grant others as much respect and consideration as I want for my own views."

In this post you say,"Futurists of your ilk have been teaching an imminent Second Coming for the last century and a half (since dispensational premillennialism was invented), making asses of themselves and the Gospel. But, so long as fools are willing to buy the books, do bad eisegesis of Scripture and use newspapers as commentaries, there will be chicken littles perverting Scripture, leading folks astray, bringing mockery upon the Gospel and consoling themselves that time is short while they wait for their one way ticket to paradise."

How are these two statements consistent? The later I find particularly uncharitable and offensive. I never heard this type of diatribe during my doctoral program at Westminster Seminary.

***So, take your condescending tripe, fold it neatly origami style and shove it. Truth in love friend, hugs and kisses. ***

This is respect and consideration?

You know, PR, your previous posts indicated that your eschatological
positions were neutral and that on your website and in your classes
you intended to be fair to both sides ---- BUT now it becomes
quite evident that your neutrality is pretentious at best.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lusts, and saying Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation (2Pe.3:3-4)

Just as the Jews gave up looking for the Messiah in the 1st Advent, so the church has given up looking for Him in the 2nd (Titus 2:13)
