Assessment comments

This article makes almost no sense at all. It reads like abbreviated lecture notes from a graduate level course in Eschatology.
- Could we get some complete sentences, maybe even a vague overview of what's being discussed?
-
- Insertions of phrases such as 'biblically inerrant' about particular groups of Christians indicates a measure of bias by the original author.
-
-
- Biblical Inerrancy refers to a stance on the trustworthiness of the scripture. It is a precise definition within the theological community.
-
- Actually, the article does make sense, at least to me, as a 3rd year seminary student. It seems generally accurate, and the use of the phrase "biblically inerrant" does not necessarilly suggest author bias, as it is how most of those denominations so described would describe themselves.
-
- Well, as a 3rd year seminary student you're probably not the target demographic for the article, as you're already probably quite familiar with the material. I, on the other hand, am not familiar with the material and I just agree that the article is poorly written. I don't have any problem with the content or POV, just the presentation. The first two comments are valid.
-
- I also agree that people holding to the stated theological positions within the article would certainly describe themselves as indicated by the article, and while I would see potential problems with the use of the phrase 'biblically inerrant,' I see no problem with the use of this phrase in this article.

Also, Thank you for pointing out the possibility of bias in this article. Keep up the work hunting down true bias. It is definitely appreciated. Meng.benjamin 17:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merger, etc
I think this is a good article. It's meant to be a reference - the Christian eschatology article is very thorough as it is. I'm going to remove the "cleanup" and "merger" tags; it's pretty well laid-out as-is, and the main article is certainly too large already to merge.

[edit] Biblical theological view
The Biblical theological view as exemplified in works such as Graeme Goldsworthy's Gospel and Revelation and believed by groups such as the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. It is similar to the Covenantal system but different in a few key ways, and so I've added an additional section. I'm not a theologian, so my use of language may be inprecise - I'll just write what I've been taught and read. Happy for help. Journeyman 03:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
in dispensational premillenialism the rapture is called "secret" is this the most popular view?
- Post-tribulation rapture proponents refer to the pre-tribulation rapture as the "secret rapture." I have never heard the term used by a pre-trib proponent. It should be noted that both these views are premillennial, only differing on the timing of the rapture.
- On another note, I think this article should be expanded and merged with Christian eschatology. Kristamaranatha (talk) 06:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
