Should we teach our eschatology to our children?

So many varying opinions...many believe they have it figured out, yet the majority cannot completely scripturally prove what they believe.

So do we teach our interpretation of eschatology as opinion...or as THE TRUTH... or as non salvational but "this is how I see it...?

Should we teach it to our children at all?

Should we teach them all the different views? ... Then how we see things?

Where's "the line" on how far we go teaching eschatology to our young adult children?

Yes, very much so.

My daughters and the young people in the church of more confident because of it. No chicken little syndrome for them.

I agree with this approach. Teach your children as children. When they become of age, then encourage to seek to be truly convinced of the truths they have accepted and have grown to love.

Cool, they are taught by preterist parents that Jesus will come to kill them all because there is not such thing as a catching away(rapture).

What is the method used by Jesus to kill the children etc. to be resurrected?

...And here we go with the dishonest element of the forum again.

This is not about partial preterism, it is about full preterists that do not believe in the resurrection of the living saints.

These teachers are alive and well.

But you accused them of saying they believe their children will be killed. And that's simply not true, Sean. they do not teach that at all.

Full preterist parent....." And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.....now princess, if Jesus returns tonight he will kill you to resurrect you, so dont worry, good night, Jesus loves you".

So if verse 13 is referring to the dead, then verses 14-17 are referring to “The Resurrection”. I think most, if not all of you, will agree with that statement. So let’s examine how and when this resurrection of the dead is to occur.
