It therefore behooves you to figure out WHETHER my postion is correct. Ah, but you haven't been willing to do that yet, have you?)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh shades of a year ago:>)

I have read the threads more or less...some points to both sides...

I tend to agree with Pastor Jerry on this one...this is in the long run not a matter of salvation or living out our walks..BUT it is a trap set to divide and conquer the Calvinists...and uses the best of us (Spurgeon) as a weapon....

Good tactical move....

Good point.

Premil, postmil, or amil, when is Christ coming back?

When the Father gives the nod.

Good enough for me.

This is PRECISELY why I will LOUDLY affirm that Spurgeon was NOT very good in eschatology, and why I point out that he even gave a pleasantly boneheaded endorsement to one of the more evil books ever written on eschatology.

I have a very, very high regard for Spurgeon. But I will deliberately knock him off the pedestal when I think there may be silly Spurgeonolators present.

Spurgeon himself would insist that I do so, of course.

Spurgeon was an "historical Premillenialist." He believed in the mediatorial reign of Christ so we can have fellowship. He was certainly anti-Darby so he opposed dispensationalism - he hated it with a passion. "Darbyites" was his term for them.
