So atty. basing it on that premise, when does the inclination change?
Basing it on which premise?
"Good" as premised on man's concept, or "good" as premised on the bible's concept?
=========================================
What you said already falls in "always being ready". E.g. I say Shoko Asahara STUDIED Revelations too much instead of just being ready. comparable to Manalo of INC, 4th Watch, The Adventist I heard even have a graph of the events (please confirm)
Events are outlined in Revelation. So it's easy to make an outline of events based on the sequence of events stated in Revelation.
"Always being ready" without understanding the sequence of events in revelation is not good enough. What if someone claims to be the returned Christ. Do you believe him or not? Even if you're ready, you still wouldn't be sure if the guy really is the Christ if you don't understand Revelation.
But if you understand Revelation, it's easy to tell whether or not one who claims to be the returned Christ is telling the truth.
Shoko Asahara did not "study Revelation too much" because Christian scripture is not his primary basis. Aum Shinrikyo is a mixture of yoga, Hinduism, Christianity, and Nostradamus.
and it also falls under no one really knows when so if a guy like Shoko "says/predicted" when then he's simply lying.
Asahara did not give a date for the end of the world.
You seemed to only tackled the first one but I have a 3 point framework regarding Eschatology applied in my Christian Walk.
Regarding the theological side of things, I have already forgotten my stance regarding Eschatology I remember being a believer of Pre-Wrath Rapture Tribulation thingie though but it doesn't matter to me now.
Revelation is easy to understand. Instead of simplifying it, youre making it more incomprehensible.
My beliefs are based on the bible, not on the ramblings of theologians. That's why I do not use terms that are not found in the bible, such as "3 point framework" or "Pre-Wrath Rapture Tribulation."
Therefore, I do not use the word "rapture." In Greek, it's "arpagisometha" (ἁρπαγησόμεθα); in English, it's "caught up" or "taken away." Those are the biblical terms, not "rapture."
"Pre-Wrath Rapture"? It just gets worse and worse when you stray farther and farther away from the bible.
That's not biblical, that's Robert Van Kampen. That's not scripture, that's 1990s fundamentalist Christian eschatology.
The basic rule in studying the bible is that scripture interprets itself. Verses are explained by other verses. They are not explained by unbiblical opinions of theologians or strict fundamentalist Christians like Van Kampen.
