One of the joys of having eschewed the doctrines and traditions of men is that all of the scholarly insights are likewise interesting but not material...the Spiritual leaning I have is to the 7,000 year calendar for Adamic man - a Jewish teaching, authenticated in Scripture and held by early Christians.

As long as you remember that all these men (and women) had Spiritual leanings, just as one could say that the doctrine of A-G should be eschewed because it is a doctrine of a human.

There is something inherently suspect in any opinion being presented as "spiritual truth" while rejecting everyone else's as a "doctrine of men."

As for the millennium, the Scriptures say "soon" (in speed) and in the liftetime of one generation and individuals who were present whe He was speaking. All that was later on scrambled with various rationalizations because the millennium did not occur "soon."

I choose not to second guess God. It will come in due time, like everything else.

Jeepers, kosta50, I don't want anyone to accept what I have to say as "doctrine." My gift in the Spirit is to encourage, not to lead.

Truly, the entire purpose for my being is to love God absolutely and as a distant second, to love my neighbor unconditionally. I am obsessed with the love of God.

I am pointing to Him for Truth - not to any mortal - and least of all, me.

To God be the glory!

Not so according to the Greek Scholar missionary I knew who’s daily reading was in the Greek.

THIS GENERATION logically as well as contextually can only mean the generation which saw the beginnings of the sequence of prophecied events would live to see the conclusion of the sequence.
