Puritan Board Professor
In the absence of the blogs of old where one could collect links to significant threads, I'd like to post here for reference some previous eschatology threads (I'll be doing the same for Baptism and misc material, and textual material). I'll give a link to here in my signature.
End Time, Revelation, Babylon, Pharmakeia etc URLs
End Time, Revelation, Babylon, Pharmakeia etc URLs
These are a collection of such threads and/or posts (at PuritanBoard) to date, as well pharmakeia studies published at Scribd. In the PB threads of others I have usually linked to my first post therein, and from there one can then go back to the beginning of the discussion if desired.
As one can see, some of these are earlier explorations on themes in Revelation – works in progress. I continue working on the topic of Babylon, and what the implications of that are for us in the 21st century. I will update this list as needed.
Thoughts on similarities between the premillennial and amillennial views [November 2016]
This ruffled some feathers.
Theonomy and Drugs [March 2016]
I'm starting this where I first entered the discussion, at post #18 (one can go back to see the start). It's amazing how folks can wax knowledgeable on the topic of psychedelic drugs and yet not know what they are talking about. It would be laughable were it not reflective of such great danger to the saints, for when these things are allowed in the temple of God they are brought into communion with the Spirit of Christ. Imagine, allowing the demonic such access!
Why is scripture silent on... ...drugs? [2014]
This is an unusual thread (I start posting in #7). Toward the end a gentleman opposes me with a secular – worldly – knowledge of the topic in question used medicinally but ignorant of its spiritual affect in the soul. Because it is effective as an analgesic (which I acknowledge) he says it should be given to Christians to relieve pain, discounting the terrible spiritual danger this involves them in; he thinks worldly counsel trumps spiritual understanding. The admins closed the thread before I could finish responding. Later I was told not to write on this topic anymore as the admins and mods do not agree with my view. This bodes ill for the church, but I will honor their position, and simply publish elsewhere.
