Should we teach our eschatology to our children?

JamesGlen · #1 09-23-2017, 07:31 AM

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.

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?

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.

Futurist parent...... "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words....Princess, you will never have to die, but rather, wake up from your bed in heaven if Jesus calls us tonight".

I hope not.

He must snort Tylenol he has been on this forum long enough and still does not know what a full preterist teaches, and believes.

Wow all I can say is wow

I'm puzzled where he gets the idea that we teach our children that they don't die?

You teach children that they cannot die if the jump off a cliff head first into concrete pavement?

I knew of people who taught that if you are truly with the Lord then you will never die physically. Is that what you mean? I teach my young people that those who listen to Jesus' Gospel trusting in Christ will have have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. That is John 5:24, Matthew 25:46, John 3:16-18, John 6:47, John 6:50-51, John 6:58, John 12:44, John 20:31, and 1 John 3:14.
