ESCHATOLOGICAL PRETERISM VS FUTURISM

There is a whole lot of "iron sharpening iron" (Proverbs 27:17) going on in this debate! Wow!

I suggest you make sure you have a good idea of what each camp teaches and where you lean, if not stand, on each issue, before watching this video, because there is plenty of fodder and fuel being flung across the aisle (figuratively speaking, to complete my alliteration).


I believe each of these men has a heart for Christ and for His people. I also personally believe about 90% of each man's doctrine as portrayed in this debate. I have to give credit to both sides for sharpening all who heard and followed the debate point by point.

I lean preterist. I myself, along with every believer of the Bible, have a long way to go before my theology is perfect.(1 Corinthians 13:12) But we all benefit from hearing both sides of every issue.

"Let every man [and woman] be fully persuaded in his [and her] own mind." (Romans 14:5)

ABOUT FACE

Well, nothing like a change of font face to do a blogger good, eh?

How about that Droid Sans 14-point? Really brings the message of my blog posts out of the realm of two-dimensional flatness, huh! Not really.

Just another cyber-spacial activity to wile the time away and prevent complete boredom meltdown (CBM), as I wait for the inspiration (and email/phone call) to get a new job! Don't worry. I'm looking.

I have been pondering the possibilities of self-employment from the advice given by Gary North, libertarianism's favorite Christian economist. Trading one set of problems for another, looking for the "promised land" of economic freedom and happiness in the same lifetime.

I can dream, can't I? Thanks for visiting.

NEW BLOG SUBTITLE!!!

After years of "perspectives on faith and life," I have decided to update my shifting paradigm "worldview window" blog subtitle to reflect an ever-changing database of current events and Christian growth (hopefully) in my lifetime. Sobering yet encouraging.

I hope this cosmetic, if not thematic, alteration will not detract from my myriad readers (both of you) wanting to visit this blog in the future. Perhaps some gems of truth posted here on Worldview Window will  positively impact your appreciation for the truth, no matter how ugly or unpleasant it may be.

The unspoken, if not understood, goal of blogging is to affect change (or is it "effect"). I try to identify a problem and/or a solution, be it with faith or practice, and put it before my readers for their reflection and contemplation. I try to inject humor or graphics whenever possible to compensate for the "dry bones" of textual content.

My hope is that more people will see things my way... Just kidding!!!

My hope is actually that more people will see what I see, not necessarily the way I see it. I am just a passerby pointing out to another passerby an interesting if not troubling/amusing/edifying bit of reality (such as it is) available to all who have a pulse and an Internet connection.

Belief in God is optional, though extremely preferable in light of eternity.

UNEMPLOYMENT WOES HIT BLOGGER... AGAIN!

Yes, friends. It is time to blog once again. When an unemployable idiot like me loses another job, there are few options left to pretend I have a "skillset" and "giftings" from God. So here I am: blogging my little heart out.

Look! I posted an image on the Internets! I know about rudimentary web design, ya know. I use Blogger to its full potential. Not every Moe, Joe, and Larry knows how to perform such highly-skilled tasks as that. But enough about my abilities, stellar though they are.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking (or not). You're saying, this bozo -- er, I mean, dunce-- is a garden-variety moron! Nobody with two brain cells firing will hire a useless (or is it "useful") idiot like me to do any real, serious work. You know, high paying, high-brow stuff like Walmart or McDonald's. That's for young, upwardly mobile professionals with a mountain of student loan debt.

Wait a minute! I have a mountain (though it be small, thank the Lord), of student loan debt. Maybe I can get a job throwing pizzas or newspapers until a real job opportunity with one of these really successful temp agencies opens up!

Yeah, that's the ticket.
