>(BTW, Hilmar, not all Christians accept/believe tribulation, rapture, 1000 year reign interpretations, etc. In fact, I can't think if any Christian group that is monolithic in their doctrinal positions. All have factions, splinters, subdivisions, break-away groups, etc...., so no particular group can claim to speak for all of Christianity.)
Thanks.
Yes, I understand that there is no single issue on which all, or even most, Christians agree. Nor do I expect to be convinced - I have my own firm beliefs. Mainly, I wanted to know what people are talking about.
