Please post your answers to the following questions here:
1. Eschatomania is a radical preoccupation with studying the end times by making adherence to detailed theological schemes and chart maps the litmus test for orthodoxy. Eschatomaniacs are often sensationalistic and unbalanced. Eschatophobia is a radical fear of the study of end times by people who believe that making any positive or detailed observations concerning the end times is radical, sensational, and unnecessarily divisive. Do you believe that your local church evidences either of these imbalances? Explain. Which tendencies do you lean towards?
2. Eschatomania goes hand in hand with eschatophobia. In other words, you will not have a rise in eschatomania without a rise in eschatophobia. Why do you believe this is the case?
3. Review the arguments for Postmillennialism. Which arguments do you think were the strongest? Why? (note: “none of them” is not a valid answer for our purposes). Which weakness do you think is the most problematic to the position? Why?
4. Review the arguments for Amillennialism. Which arguments do you think were the strongest? Why? (note: “none of them” is not a valid answer for our purposes). Which weakness do you think is the most problematic to the position? Why?
5. Review the arguments for Premillennialism. Which arguments do you think were the strongest? Why? (note: “none of them” is not a valid answer for our purposes). Which weakness do you think is the most problematic to the position? Why?
6. How was your thinking challenged the most by the lesson? Explain.
