my views kind of whole-hog have tended to vary more upon theological hinge points exulting the goodness of God's character in our age, it kind of clashes with hot sync beast systematic focuses on prophecy most common.
I can't understand.
What on earth is a "hot sync beast systematic"?
and how does that relate to "focuses on prophecy"?
What is "prophecy most common"?
"Whole hog views"? That generally means taking an entire view, not dividing it up into stuff you agree with and stuff you don't.
What are these "theological hinge points"?
I think God's goodness is a given. We all agree on that no matter what age we are talking about.
God's goodness is not separate from His judgment or His anger or His forgiveness thru acceptance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross in our place. Prophecy is a warning thru scripture, that God's wrath is coming, there is a way of escape, and we had best get saved while we have the chance. He acts providentially thru the whole of history. His goodness and providence are not instead of wrath, they occur because His wrath is coming.
To make Gods actions into 2 separate camps: goodness/providence and prophecy dealing with judgment/wrath is to create a false dichotomy. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Perfect justice, perfect mercy.
God might have buckshotted the eschatological puzzle pieces to wide varying denominations kind of hopeful believers would compare notes rather than make tribes.
First off God doesn't buckshot anything in a hopeful way. He knows the end from the beginning, He has a plan, He has given us what we need in the Bible. Yes He is aware that we will have differences, and He uses those to help us dig deeper into the Word, but denominational boundaries are not a bad thing.
Making "tribes" is a little critical of the differences of opinion between say dispensationalists and reform theology.
In that sense i come to each prophesy view with openness to a degree. Knowing likely most of it will not rank high on what themes a would consider highest. But that each peace is important likely more so than the puzzle it solves.
Again, not sure what you are saying. Being open to learning is good, I get that part.
But what do you mean by "knowing likely most of it will not rank high on what themes a would consider highest"
I get that you mean piece, not peace in the next sentence.
But how do you come to the conclusion that an individual piece of a prophetic puzzle is likely more important than the prophecy itself????? I am presuming by "puzzle it solves" you refer to the prophecy as a whole.
But for being in His spirit in love "being" a living hermeneutic itself kind of thing.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND what you mean by this.
Teren, love ya brother but some days you are pretty obscure and hard to understand what you are saying.
Maybe it's just me being more brain fogged than usual. I really am NOT doing well that way.
Sorry.
