Three "R"s

The historically agreed upon views of the Church from the beginning concerning eschatology (Last Things) can be represented by the three "R"s:  return, resurrection, and restoration.

The “return” is the physical second coming of Christ; historically, the Church has held to a literal, physical return of Christ to the earth as judge and king.

The “resurrection” is the physical resurrection of the body of all who have died; the righteous will be resurrected to eternal life and the unrighteous will be resurrected to eternal judgment.

The “restoration” is the future restoration of all creation; there will be a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells, no longer under the corruption due to the original sin of Adam.

Of course, there have been dissenters down through the centuries, and even to this day, but they are outside the historically held views of the Christianity.

Of course, within and related to these three views, there are a lot of details Christians can disagree about, but they are the historically held views.

Jesus will return to the earth literally and physically, the dead shall be raised to physical life, and the creation will be delivered from corruption and restored.

If you reject these things, you are not only rejecting what Scripture teaches, but what the Church has historically held down through the centuries.
