Yeah, I know what ya mean, but I still think that agreement on the basics covers a multitude of sins. I also have a problem with their optimism. How dare they be so optimistic while I'm miserable all day long?!?
Pan-millennialism? I don't think it provides serious competition for Finalism. For a start, it doesn't convey content to me, and what it does convey can be misleading - ie that we believe all types of millennial theories. Plainly not the case.
I was unable to read some/most of the recent posts, and since there still seems to be some mileage in this thread, I'll be starting a new thread with a similar heading.
So if you have anything else to add, plse continue on the new thread, and I'll 'see' ya all there.
