Well this is one Reformed Baptist who dearly loves Spurgeon but clearly sees that he was in error regarding his millennial viewpoint.
The only error of Spurgeon that I "clearly see" is his cigar smoking, which no doubt complicated his health problems in later life of which gout and obiesity were known, the former from his writing and speaking of it, the later from his pictures.
Remember, excess weight of 20% is considered obiese and is backed up by huge amounts of data on high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, etc so that if one is supposed to weigh 180 at 6 feet of height but instead weighs 216 he is obeise. Also, there is data mounting that if anything the chart values, from which this example was derived, are too liberal with respect to maximum weights. Issues such as excess weight are rampant in our materialistic, physical oriented society, and we try to sweep them under the rug, but God sees them, and is displeased.
In my own case, I stayed near my chart weight for all my life until my middle years and then weighed about 10 lb over. Then I developed the problem with my back and could no longer exercise, and put on weight, but the Lord convicted me about the excess weight very clearly way before this happened, as soon as he began to work powerfully in my life. At that time I was only 5 to 10 lb overweight and on a 6 foot 1 frame, I looked "thin" to many, and was repeatedly told so, especially as I began to loose weight in obedience to Him, but I knew better in my heart.
Thus, I too believe that Spurgeon was "clearly in error", but not with respect to his views of the Millenium. Sometimes we humans, with our deceptive hearts, make much of one supposed error, often a "doctrinal one" in order to avoid another, more obvious, and more practical, one.
