MISTAKEN DISMISSALS OF POSTMILLENNIALISM (1)

Christian influence isn’t in decline because of a failed eschatological system.
It must be observed that postmillennialism lost favor (and today remains held in disfavor) with conservative theologians for manifestly unorthodox and insufficient reasons. Extra-biblical reasoning, as well as lazy or poor scholarship, has intruded itself into Christian discussions of eschatology. I will highlight four misguided grounds often used for rejecting this hope-filled eschatology. In this article I will focus on: Newspaper Exegesis.
Christianity is in decline because those claiming to be adherents are not adherents but observers in mind only. They won’t declare the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15), rebuking the workers of iniquity for their sin (1 Timothy 5:20), because modern Christians are pseudadelphos – fakes and phonies (Revelation 2:2), theoretical Christians doing the work of Christ nowhere but in the vanity of their deluded heads. Instead of being doers of the word, they are hearers only deceiving themselves (James 1:22), endlessly filling their heads with knowledge they are the disciples of the high-back leather chair (2 Timothy 3:7), their feet are hideously grotesque (Romans 10:15), wicked slothful one talent servants (Matthew 25:26-30) one and all who won’t teach all nations to observe (DO) all that Christ commands (Matthew 28:18-20).
The New Religion are a bunch of losers in retreat because they have latched onto a theory of eschatology from which to derive a lazy and apathetic good for nothing wait for the rapture lifestyle. At the same time, they accumulate comfort and ease in this world instead of building up treasure in Heaven, proving they have a heart problem (Matthew 6:19-21). Of course the gentleman at the linked article is much too polite to put the problem this way, but I’m not.
Note: The cited verses here are not meant to prove or support an eschatology system, but are given for instruction and reproof.
