Why I Don’t Like Left Behind

Byhenry January 8, 2008

Hat tip to Gentle Wisdom for this quiz on eschatology:

What’s your eschatology?
created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as Amillenialist

Amillenialism believes that the 1000 year reign is not literal but figurative, and that Christ began to reign at his ascension. People take some prophetic scripture far too literally in your view.

Left Behind

Now I know why I don’t like the left behind books! It was also mildly funny to discover that I don’t have an “eschatology” category. I think I’ll leave it that way and just use the tag.
