Well, I'm a bible believer - but I don't keep tabs on where my hardhat is. Never will either. I think it depends on which bible believers you hang out with.

Can you name anytime in history since the day Jesus and Paul introduced the dogma of the Last days where those who called themselves Christians didn't believe that they were the ones who were suppose to get the fullfillment of the last days dogma?
I think the catholic church has officialy repudiated millenialism since at least a few hundred yrs. I'm not totally sure, but i think augustine was against it as well. He was 4th century. For the most part, if i remember right, the church believes the coming of the kingdom is through a gradual converting of the world. Maybe someone more knowledgable on rc can confirm or deny this.

the Catholic Encyclopedia;
[quote] The kingdom of god means, then, the ruling of God in our hearts; it means those principles which separate us off from the kingdom of the world and the devil; it means the benign sway of grace; it means the Church as that Divine institution whereby we may make sure of attaining the spirit of Christ and so win that ultimate kingdom of God Where He reigns without end in "the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God" (Apoc., xxi, 2).
