For what it's worth - I am a retired Army Chaplain, currently working on a doctorate in religious studies, and teaching classes for adults, college (US Air Force Academy, formerly West Point), and high school (homeschool enrichment classes in a Biblical Worldview). I was ordained in 1979 - and have taught and preached all over the world. Your concerns about my "spiritual maturity" are unfounded.

What concerns me is an apparent attitude of spiritual elitism. Your comments that you will provide access to your web site when you think I am ready to handle it is ludicrous.

As far as I am concerned, if you are unwilling to enter into dialogue with someone else in ministry, just forget it.

The self proclaimed prophets with special knowledge which can be accessed only by secret passwords always scare me.

To which I say: impressive. We might even be around the same age and I am an veteran as well (USAF).

Since Sorensen does not seem interested in a dialogue here, although I don't think he's totally off track, what are your eschatological views?

I have talked at length with my Pastor, who incidentally favors a post-Trib position about my mid-Trib, or more correctly put, pre-Wrath Rapture position. He has said I have made some impressive arguments for my position. I even presented (with his concurrence) a two-part presentation to my church last year in lieu of regular services to explain the mid-Trib position.

I am interested in any views you might have on those things I have written on here in this thread as well as your own position and interpretation of Scripture.

LiteKeeper, You say, that my referring to your lack of spiritual maturity, "is Ludicrous" and "Unfounded".
Have you forgotten, that I merely replied to a "Gentleman"
who ,without knowing my "Person" or "Biblical Premise", promises to "prove me all wet and wrong"? with out even knowing anything of what I have written ? And you think you do not come across as being "arrogant"? and ,now accuse me of elitism, for pointing out your arrogance?
Please, Give me a BREAK !!!!!

Not that I intended to talk about myself, or to sound
"boastful",but only for your "edification". I am a missionary, in ministry since 1963,I speak more than half dozen Languages, other than English. That's all YOU need to know, for now
