I am not sure if this statement by awareness referenced any of my remarks, but I never meant to question yours nor anyone else’s salvation. I was trying to say that the “1000 years of darkness” idea does not in any way do justice to the teachings of Jesus, as I see them.
Where, for example, is the idea of discipline commensurate with the offense, given in Luke 12:47 and 48? Instead we got presented a vague and arbitrary line (the “overcomer”) with abundant blessings on one side and 1,000 years of weeping and gnashing of teeth on the other. It's crude, and I think it’s an insult to the scriptures. It’s not a high peak, it’s barely a foothill.
