Jesus and the Second Coming of Sarah Palin

According to the Gawker , Sarah Palin believes that she is going to see Jesus in her lifetime I just skeptical about the idea that Sara Palin is going to see Jesus in her lifetime. Yes, the gospels do preach that God could back at anytime but in my opinion, the odd are remote. If God exists, than God knows the exact time and hour when he will come back

However, I believe she believes in dispensationalism which is the idea that there is seven distinct ages in the history of salvation. One of the biggest tenants is that man has enter the “last days” with the reestablishment of Isreal. Proper dispensationalists do not put any specific date or time when Christ comes back but believe that he will return after a seven year period is completed.

Personally, I do not think it is biblically correct but that is just my humble opinion of this theology. I also do not consider her view to be crazy because it is within the mainstream of Christian theology.

People outside of Christian circles might label her as “crazy”. The conception of people with dispensationalism as crazy is because they use their view of Christian endtimes to make specific foreign and domestic policy positions. If the people who believed in dispensationalism did not use the theology as basis for making foreign policy decisions, than the general society will not show the level of contempt for people who hold these theology.

It is important for progressive Dems to critique the basis of the subject people’s foreign policy vie but not the person’s view of theology. We should tolerance to anybody from conservative Islams to conservative Christians. People have the right of freedom of religion and the right to express the religious views. However, there is a point when religious doctrine intereferes with a person’s ability to rational and logical opinions about foreign and domestic policy.

In conclusion, we should not criticize Ms. Palin’s religious beliefs and the expression of her religious belief. When the religious doctrine of Ms. Palin’s view interferes with her judgement to make rational and logical views of foreign and domestic policy, than it is job of media and progressives to properly critique those views.
