After looking through your list of posts now, I have to admit that you provide a great deal of research into the early Church to provide your support, quoting several Church Elders from as early as the 2nd Century. The one thing that I didn't see, however, was one shred of evidence from you which shows your position being supported by Scripture. The vast majority of your posts, although detailed and well researched, are either entirely or almost entirely void of Scriptural support for your arguments, instead leaning on Church tradition and Church Fathers and Elders.

I'm sorry, but no matter what I think of those Fathers and Elders, they don't hold the same weight as Scripture does. They may have studied at the feet of the Apostles, but they are not the Apostles and their words are not guaranteed to be either infallible or even remotely correct. Now, if their teachings match up with Scripture, then yes we can accept it, but if they don't then I don't care if they learned from John or James or who, they're still wrong.

So I ask you, what support from Scripture do you submit that your theory of Amillennialsim is correct and the doctrine of a literal, Millennial reign of Christ on Earth is not correct?

WOW! You're a REALLY fast reader! The Scriptural support I provided at my links in #30 above (including the subject of Amillennialism) is exhaustive, and would take most people the better part of a year to get through it all.

Most of the questions you could come up with here about "Scriptural support", are already dealt with at those links, so I would point you back to a "careful reading" of them.

Oh, and here's another little tid-bit you might find "interesting". Or not. :)
