Thankfully, even the Apostolic Fathers recognized that belief in ‘historic premillennialism’ wasn’t a test of orthodoxy. After all, even Justin Martyr acknowledged that “many who belong to the pure and pious faith, and are true Christians, think otherwise” about historic premillennialism, even in his own time period.
True, but the system ultimately to be ensconced in the Papacy had yet to be systemized. Augustine holds that dubious honor...Augustine several hundred years future from Justin.
Apparently, from what I can gather, it was but elementary ideas of Amill that were around in Justin’s day. Justin not considering it any threat to “pure and pious faith” at that time. Were he transported several hundred years into the future to Augustine’s day, and wrote about it, I think his words would reflect something quite different.
