Why I Am...
                September 12, 2008                      Yes, I am taking my (extreme) time in doing this series.  Why?  Because I want to make sure that this series is done in love with humility so that each view is presented accurately and expressed understandably without caricature.

Below are links to four articles of proponents from each view I am covering in this series.  Be forewarned, they are lengthy, but they are worth the effort in order to understand their view.  My thinking is if you can not understand a particular view, and you have questions about the other views (like how can they believe in the Postmil view? or How can the Amil position be legitimate?) then you must understand what those positions really believe before you denounce them.  Why?  Because many of us grew up and are in churches which present only one view (typically the Dispensational) as if it is the only view of Israel, the Church, and End Times.  So, by default we do not understand the other views except in caricature form.

If we're looking for biblical fidelity and searching for truth, it is our duty to understand these views and let Scripture speak for itself.

Without further ado, go check out these articles.  Don't worry, I'll wait....
