The "scandal" is that Christians believe things that seem crazy to those who aren't Christians. We believe in a lot of things that cannot happen apart from the supernatural. So Campings big error is in his exact prediction, not merely that he thinks that all Christians will be airborne at the return of Christ.Brad Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197301845256854051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639235.post-44855261764864010762011-05-25T14:33:09.636-04:002011-05-25T14:33:09.636-04:00Fair enough, it was more a commentary on Camping a...Fair enough, it was more a commentary on Camping and the orthodox calling someone else un-orthodox/scandalous.<br /><br />Belief is belief and it won't be until later before you discover if your own teachings are un-orthodox/scandalous. Luckily, you aren't setting your own deadlines and points-of-no-return like he did.Mike Cooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639235.post-9297212898659145272011-05-25T14:20:53.488-04:002011-05-25T14:20:53.488-04:00If you'll check, all of those are pretty adama...If you'll check, all of those are pretty adamant that Jesus is returning. ;) <br /><br />The argument is over whether there will be a literal 1,000 year reign of Jesus in Jerusalem. Each one of those first three is an argument about order. Dispensationalism is the odd man out in your list, as one can be a dispensationalist and be pre or post-mil. <br />Dispensationalism finds its counter-part in Covenantalism, and that revolves around how to view the relationship between Israel and the church as the people of God.<br /><br />So yes, there are things that Christians contest with one another. But the debate amongst the orthodox is sometimes like whether you are loyal to the Mets or to the Yankees. There is common ground in that both teams love baseball, and that they play by the same rules.Brad Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197301845256854051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639235.post-11700830954744369082011-05-25T14:14:22.147-04:002011-05-25T14:14:22.147-04:00Premillennialism?
