This Amil version of victory reminds me of the foot ball team who lost according to the score board but whose coach tells you guys are winners in my books because you tried your best... the Amil presents Christ's people as the ones trying their best but losing in the score board the post mill presents the church as the ones doing the stumping... now I ask you which one portrays the Christ as truly victorious in the battle for history, only if you qualify victory to mean "try your best" can we consider the Amil as presenting a victorious Christ of history...
I guess it all goes back to our definition of victory... is Christ the savior of every realm or only the spritual realm. Post mil say every realm including the spiritual and physical the Amil say the spritual realm only.

Tert, can you go back to my post's and show me where I have said that the optimistic Amil view is that we will "try our best"?
You are debating the wrong Amil position and in this case are taring down a strawman, your arguments would work very well with a pessemistic Amil and I would stand with you in that warfront.
