End Times

[RadicallyTransformedMom]

Could we discuss the official position of the Methodist/Nazarene/Wesleyan churches on end times and the book of Revelation? Are they they the same or different? It is my understanding that The UMC position is Amillenialist like the Roman Catholic church is. Is this correct?

I am not Methodist my sister, but from what I have studied Methodists are Amillenial.

I do wish I understood the historical reasons for this though.

I hope I was helpful in some way.

It might be hard to have such a discussion regarding the UM "position", as the denomination as a whole actually has not official "postion" or set interpretation of either Revelation or the whole concept of eschatology, other than a belief that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead.

For myself, when I bother to think about such things (which isn't that often), I tend to be a pre-millenialist and find that most of my parishoners are as well.

I can't speak for Free Methodists, Nazarene, or Wesleyan churches.

I'm panmillenial. (It will all pan out in the end) I know that sounds silly, but it's an accurate discription of where I'm at on this.

I'm much the same. I figure what is supposed to happen will happen when it is supposed to happen. I don't know when or exactly how, so I trust God to get me through it -- whenever and whatever it is.

I think that pretty well states how we are SUPPOSED to be.

1Th 5:1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you.
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

:) I can't claim the term. I actually saw someone else using it here months ago.

^_^ I love that! And it also perfectly describes my viewpoint too.
