Historicism (Christianity)
In Christian eschatology, historicism is a method of interpretation of Biblical prophecy, biblical prophecies which associates symbols with historical persons, nations or events. The main primary texts of interest to Christian historicists include apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. It sees the prophecy, prophecies of Daniel as being fulfilled throughout history, extending from the past through the present to the future. It is sometimes called the continuous historical view. Commentators have also applied historicist methods to ancient Jewish history, to the Roman Empire, to Islam, to the History of the papacy, Papacy, to the Modern era, and to the Eschatology, end time. The historicist method starts with Daniel 2 and works progressively through consecutive prophecies of the book—chapters Daniel 7, 7, Daniel 8, 8 and Daniel 11, 11—resulting in a view of Daniel's prophecies very different from preterism and Futurism (Christianity), futu ...

Christian Conditionalism
In Christian theology, conditionalism or conditional immortality is a concept in which the gift of immortality is attached to (conditional upon) belief in Jesus Christ. This concept is based in part upon another biblical argument, that the human soul is naturally mortal, immortality (" eternal life") is therefore granted by God as a gift. This viewpoint stands in contrast to the more popular concept of the "natural immortality" of the soul. Conditionalism is practically synonymous with annihilationism, the belief that the unsaved will be ultimately destroyed. Protestantism The British Evangelical Alliance ''ACUTE'' report states that conditionalism is a "significant minority evangelical view" that has "grown within evangelicalism in recent years". In the 20th century, conditional immortality was considered by certain theologians in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Proponents of conditional immortality ("conditionalists") point to and , where the Tree of Life is mentioned. It is ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adventist Review
The Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) is an Adventist Protestant Christian denomination which is distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the seventh day of the week in the Christian (Gregorian) and the Hebrew calendar, as the Sabbath, its emphasis on the imminent Second Coming (advent) of Jesus Christ, and its annihilationist soteriology. The denomination grew out of the Millerite movement in the United States during the mid-19th century, and it was formally established in 1863. Among its co-founders was Ellen G. White, whose extensive writings are still held in high regard by the church. Much of the theology of the Seventh-day Adventist Church corresponds to common evangelical Christian teachings, such as the Trinity and the infallibility of Scripture. Distinctive eschatological teachings include the unconscious state of the dead and the doctrine of an investigative judgment. The church emphasizes diet and health, including adhering to Jewish dietary law, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adventism
Adventism is a branch of Protestant Christianity that believes in the imminent Second Coming (or the "Second Advent") of Jesus Christ. It originated in the 1830s in the United States during the Second Great Awakening when Baptist preacher William Miller first publicly shared his belief that the Second Coming would occur at some point between 1843 and 1844. His followers became known as Millerites. After Miller's prophecies failed, the Millerite movement split up and was continued by a number of groups that held different doctrines from one another. These groups, stemming from a common Millerite ancestor, collectively became known as the Adventist movement. Although the Adventist churches hold much in common with mainline Christianity, their theologies differ on whether the intermediate state of the dead is unconscious sleep or consciousness, whether the ultimate punishment of the wicked is annihilation or eternal torment, the nature of immortality, whether the wicked are r ...

28 Fundamental Beliefs
The 28 fundamental beliefs are the core beliefs of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Adventists are opposed to the formulation of creeds, so the 28 fundamental beliefs are considered ''descriptors'', not ''prescriptors''; that is, that they describe the official position of the church but are not criteria for membership. These beliefs were originally known as the 27 fundamental beliefs when adopted by the church's General Conference in 1980. An additional belief (number 11) was added in 2005. The ''Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary'' is a significant expression of Adventist theological thought. They may be grouped into the doctrines of God, humanity, salvation, the church, Christian life, and the restoration. History Adventists have historically been reluctant to formalize a creed. In the October 8, 1861 Review and Herald, J. N. Loughborough wrote:The first step of apostasy is to get up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test o ...

Allegorical Interpretation Of The Bible
Allegorical interpretation of the Bible is an interpretive method (exegesis) that assumes that the Bible has various levels of meaning and tends to focus on the spiritual sense, which includes the allegorical sense, the moral (or tropological) sense, and the anagogical sense, as opposed to the literal sense. It is sometimes referred to as the ''quadriga'', a reference to the Roman chariot that was drawn by four horses. In the Middle Ages, allegorical interpretation was used by Bible commentators of Christianity. Four types Scriptural interpretation is sometimes referred to as the ''Quadriga'', a reference to the Roman chariot that was pulled by four horses abreast.
