The Jesuit Origins of Futurism

“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.” (Matthew 12:28–29)

 

I think worship should be limited to what is set forth in scripture. Think of Nadab and Elihu offering strange fire and the consequences. God seeks worship in Spirit and in truth. I've yet to hear truth in contemporary Christian worship. Not saying it does not exists, just that I've yet to hear it.

 

Yes, and this results in the New Heavens and Earth, not some carnal physical millennium of earthly delight.

 

But they were all Amillennial. Not one mentioned the Jewish idea of a millennium fostered by Premillinnialists.

 

I don't feel comfortable going beyond scripture in worship.

 

What if you force a literal interpretation on a passage not meant to be read that way, just because you can take it literally?

If Jesus says the kingdom is spiritual, and you make Revelation 20 literal. you not only took away from the book. you added to it.

 

I don't go beyond scripture worshiping God. And shun churches that do.

 

John doesn't contradict Jesus who said the kingdom is spiritual.

 

But it is not. You are adding to Revelation if you make the kingdom physical after Jesus defined it as spiritual.

 

I think a simpler type of worship is more biblical.
