I sympathize with you. I am in a similar position as an amillennialist. A few members of my own church have called me a liberal, "John Shelby Spong," a Catholic (as if that were so bad), an Episcopalian (liberal implication), dangerous, and someone who hinders missionary work (?).

Another thing that concerns me about the 1,000 years view held by some groups: I'm not sure why God would bother with measuring time in increments of 1,000 years; that seems more like an earthly construction to me. The number 1000 is only important or symbolic if one's culture uses the number 10 as a base mathematically, right? Is measuring time important to God? It would seem that an eternal being like God would know the best time, and it wouldn't be something we could measure. Curious...

Is the "dispensational" belief the one that is held by the Mormon church, or is it another group or groups?
I've talked to Christians and asked them what the heck The Book of Revelation is all about and specific parts and most of them have said to not take things literally.
If that was the case then why is it in there if you're not to take it literally and no one even understands it!?!

HI..excellent question! It all depends on what you mean by "literally". There is some confusion on that word....we do take much of it "literally"..but obviously it has lots of images and figures of speech. The wisdom is to know which is which....Pastor Lassman

to me it kinda gets on my nerves to hear someone talk about isreal and how they are the specieal chosen people of god. wait a minute does that mean they have a better shot of salvation than i do. makes me feel like they are better than i am. I agree with you pastor, I have jesus christ so what makes isreal so special. we as christians should love every nation not just isreal.

HI..thanks for your comment...you're right..Israel was important for bringing the savior into the world..not because of the land...the Savior of the whole world is a Jew and yet some are more concerned about a piece of land...Pastor Lassman
