I'm a 16-year-old conservative homeschooler with a passion for sports, philosophy, and theology. Eschatologically you could place me closer to the Amillenial position than anything else... I'm a Reformed Presbyterian, so what did you expect? :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everybody! :)

Okay, so for those of you who are still actually stopping by here every, oh, two weeks on average, maybe you'll see this. :) Anyway, I've lately gotten into eschatology and studying the whole end times/millennium stuff. Quite interesting, really... Trying to find out exactly what I mean when I say "I'm an Amillennialist,” or, “I'm a Postmillennialist." At any rate, up till this point, I've been what you might call a nominal Amillennialist even though I had only the very basic knowledge of what that term (or any of the others, for that matter) really meant. Hence the present interest in eschatological issues... :)

Actually, it was Lindsey who really got me into it when she asked what Amillennialists believed since my profile says I lean towards that position. Since I had really no clue what to tell her, and since she said she was leaning towards Pre-millennialism (reading with a more literal interpretation of Revelation/Books of The Apocalypse) and I had no real understanding of what that was either, I, well, yeah... :)

So anyway, I've sort of been writing up a relatively short paper about it, and hope to post it sometime in the near future. :) I'll probably be putting up my next section on "The Law" before that, though, if I can JUST GET THE TIME TO GET IT EDITED! :) Basically, then, I do have plans for this blog even though it probably seems like I completely disappear at times. :)

Finally, out of pure curiosity, where do you all place yourselves eschatologically? Amill., Premill., Postmill., Historic Premill., Futurist...? I'd be interested in hearing a little background and reason for why you believe what you do, too, if any of you feel like spouting a little. :)

Oh yeah, and Lindsey, if you read this, when you said you were leaning towards a Premill. view, were you referring to Historic Premillennialism, or Dispensational Premillennialism (aka, Dispensationalism)?

Have a great day peoples! :)
