I completely disagree.

For example, I grew up in church, went my entire life until a few years ago.

And I studied HARDCORE when it came to eschatology. I could literally write books. I have a very firm grasp of every position held, from the Tim Layhaye brand of pre-trib rapture, to mid and post trib rapture, to preterism, the list goes on.

After studying my entire life, and finding major faults and contradictions with most versions of eschatology, I started to study historical spiritual symbolism.

Then everything clicked into place. Suddenly, all the symbolism unlocked the spiritual truths, vs the literal insanity that is preached at the pulpit.

So, that said, I dont believe in the bible in the traditional sense. I believe it in a spiritually significant sense.

But.... because I went through the gamut of study, I fully understand the current insanity as it is attributed to the bible. And I also understand WHY it is happening this way, despite my personal beliefs. I wont get into WHY, because I dont want to offend frens here, as this is a sensitive topic.

Actually, there are TWO potential WHYS. And one is benign, and the other is not.

So, I am really hoping "Timeline A" is the actual reason why this is happening the way it is, and not "Timeline B" so to speak.
