So there are problems with the doctrine.

There are problems with all eschatological
positions. Since one’s eschatological views are not salvific, I haven’t discussed eschatology much for years. As long as one believes that Christ will return I see no reason to engage in a knockdown-dragout fight over details none of us really knows. God will handle things as He has planned, not based on what we think of various symbols.

There are problems with this doctrine because man has created the doctrine by interpreting the scripture in a certain fashion.
I mean it is quite a glaring example, dont you think so?

I also dont have any personal problem with people believing this or not. There are problems with the premillennial doctrine too, like what is happening with married couples having children during the millennial reign of Christ on this earth who then turn out to be enemies of Christ.

We will however find out someday as we will experience knowing fully the truth. Because for now we see through a glass darkly, but when Christ returns, it will be face to face.

I really don’t think about eschatology much anymore. I’m pretty well satisfied with Hendriksen’s method of interpreting Revelation and just leave it at that.

Your remark is WAY off the mark. Example: I am opposed to fornication but I don't want to make it illegal. Not wanting to making it illegal does not mean I ignore it. What are you suggesting? That unless one wants to make fornication illegal that one is ignoring it? Do you want to make fornication illegal or are you ignoring it, too?

Is this your reply to the issue of prostitution? Is that what you want legalized? What about child trafficking? What about narcotics? What about state lotteries? What about Coke, Nike, and Heinz and others using overseas child labor?

No wonder you are a minority if you want to legalize prostitution.

Where do you stand on slavery? Do you want slavery abolished?

You answer my question about fornication first. To use your own reasoning, as I previously asked, do you want to criminalize it or do you ignore it? Since we both agree that fornication is sinful.

You brought that up, as you know, and I merely asked you if you meant prostitution by that. How can I answer when you haven't defined the term?
