Fallout from Bad Eschatology
Episode Description:
Shawn McCraney discusses the concept of fulfilled eschatology, proposing that Jesus has already returned, the age of fulfillment has begun, and believers now live in an era of spiritual freedom and direct relationship with God without the confines of traditional religion. He emphasizes that Christians should no longer engage in battles against societal ills, as Jesus has achieved victory, promoting peace and love to transform hearts in this spiritually liberated New Covenant.
Christian liberty involves externally living the life God has gifted, without fear or bondage imposed by institutions rich in bad eschatology, which use fear to manipulate conformity and judgment. Embracing true Christian liberty means trusting God’s spirit within, living with faith and love, free from fear or institutional demands, and recognizing that the liberty to live one's life is already secured through Christ’s accomplished work.
Sound eschatology encourages Christians to value and responsibly care for all of God's creation, as it teaches that the world will not end and should be cherished rather than neglected. Emphasizing living with integrity, freedom, productivity, and humility, Christians are called to love God and others fully while making the most of their lives in alignment with His plan.
