In reply to:
[color:"blue"]Personally, I think Joe's apparent contradiction between premillennialism and Calvinism is rather imaginary. I have found nothing in the scripture that in any way disturbs my understanding of Revelation 20 as describing a physical reign of Christ upon the earth over all his people, and the doctrines of grace.

What About Rev 20?

The problem in interpreting Rev 20, if you embrace the unbiblical teachings of Dispensationalism first, is that everything else becomes tainted. If one goes outside in the Sun and is wearing "green" sunglasses then everything is shaded green, thus, the real light is subdued. But, be of good cheer the truth will set you free. God is in the business of making eyes that see (revelation). Like baptism this is a hermeneutics issue, but still VERY discernible.

In reply to:
[color:"blue"]It is funny you mention that, because I agree 100%. When I first started studying eschatology, I did it on my own. When I heard about POSTmillenialism, I believe it to be a hideous heresy, because that is what the liberal churches teach. Essentially, my view of POSTmillenialism was that it was essentially the social gospel, and how on earth could anybody believe that liberal junk?

P.S. I am not Post Mil!
