    Dear Mountain Retreat,

Just found your website, and have been reading some of your articles on eschatology.

Several years ago I gave up the dispensationalist/premillenialist postion because it just wasn't working for me, and because I had become familiar with the postmillenial works of David Chilton and Kenneth Gentry. One of the important key issues that they convinced me of was that Christ is reigning now, that His Kingdom has begun. They convinced me that the gospel was not doomed to failure, but that the Sovereign Holy Spirit would accomplish God's will for the Great Commission.

Still, I have struggled with some of the trappings of their positions: total praeterism, Christian Reconstructionism, and a future nondescript millenium where the church will be triumphant, and somehow persecution will fade into virtual nonexistence.

I am still struggling to work through my understanding of eschatology. I have enjoyed the articles on your website. I am not ready yet to embrace Amillenialism, but I look forward to continuing to examine your position in the light of scripture.

Clint Wilkinson, D.M.D.

    Dear Mr. Warren,

I read your article and I think it's awesome! I've not been real clear about Sunday Sabbath, and that has bothered me, but after reading the article it's crystal clear now. It's funny how I have looked at other old testament issues and understood the "shadow" concept, but It never occured to me to apply it to the Sabbath. Thanks again for shedding light on this! And for using scriptures to explain it.

    Mr.Warren,
I enjoyed reading the millennial Reign. This is the first time I have found this explaned like this. This is the way I have been taugh all my life. Just never seen it down in print. Do you have other writings on the other chapters of revelation? I would like to have a whole commentary on revelation and the whole Bible. I am "Baptist". I live close to the town of Cumming, Ga. 90% of the small Baptist Churches in this area share this view of revelation. Our Church was started in 1881.

Yours in Christ

    Tony Warren: I really like the way you write, EXCEPT YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I'm talking about the rapture, I am not going to elaborate, if the BIBLE can't show you then there is no use for me to even try! I actually am mad, and feel sorry for you, and don't understand why you are so blind. Another thing is why you think the church and Israel are the same elite group!! God has two elite groups of people (#1 THE CHURCH) (#2 ISRAEL) oh well what's the use. I just had to give my opinion. I hope you receive your sight back soon. I will pray for you and your eyes.

    Hi,
I just read your article on " The Apocryphal Books" , it is very good. My thought is has anyone written to the current pope and urged him to put an end to this continual debate on these books. My feeling is the pope wants to do something before he dies and this would certainly make a huge difference for those of us who are trying to teach non believers. This is a basic argument used by Mormons as they teach the Bible cannot be trusted. Do I have your permission to submit your article with my own personal letter of appeal? What do you think?
Peace,

    Been looking for a web site with sound biblical teachings on eschatology, and I think I've found one. I come from a methodist background, and a few years ago found the truth in the doctrines of grace of Reformed theology. We all have to do our part to open the eyes of those I left behind. Glad to see you are doing your part.

    In all my years, I had never heard nor read a dissertation on amillenialism. Coming out of atheism, I started in the dispensationalism of a baptist church, and later read (with disapproval) the thoughts of postmillenialism. Basically, I had rejected all thoughts about the millenium and concentrated on "watch" and "occupy" as my escatological position.I want to thank you for your scholarly work and tell you that it makes a great deal more sense than either of the other two.

Subject: Your claim about Jesus's "brothers"

Comments:
    Dear sir,

Who are you to make such a statement. The entire basis of your argument about whether or not Jesus had brothers is based upon your claim:

"And the scriptures use the Greek word [suggenes] or [suggeneia] when referring to kinsman, relatives, or cousins, not [adelphos] Brethren."

Many biblical scholars would take issue with your statement. I see nothing on your site, regardiing how the scriptures intended the word "adelphos" to be used/interpreted, that substantiates your claim.

Thank you for your time,

Dean
