Re: Progressive Dispensationalism

I believe Paul’s admonition to “work out your own salvation” forces us to journey on the search for Christ and the truth. This describes my early contacts with brothers in the church in Cleveland. ...

Re: Progressive Dispensationalism

All systems of theology fail us. Obviously there are both dispensations and covenants in scripture which are true, and which will be fulfilled. Personally, I do not embrace “systems” but rather the...

Re: Progressive Dispensationalism

Specifically Jesus said He did not know “the day nor the hour.”

But once Daniel’s 70th week begins, we CAN know the month and year of His return to earth.

Re: Prophecy - The End Times

I once read an article that discussed 3 Temple sites that were being actively debated, each with “overwhelming” archeological evidence.

With the current state of anti-semitism, and the lack of...

Re: Looking for a Particular Ministry Publication

Re: Looking for a Particular Ministry Publication

Dispensationalism is a valuable tool in Bible interpretation. I don’t dismiss is merely because Darby popularized it. Granted it, like any other interpretation, can be taken to extremes. Many...

Re: Looking for a Particular Ministry Publication

This interpretation of “Nicolaitans” is just as speculative as the one in the Recovery, I.e. the so-called “clergy-laity system.”

Re: Looking for a Particular Ministry Publication

Hudson Taylor was close to many Open Brethren like George Muller of Bristol. I have noted elsewhere that many early Brethren leaders unknowingly? divided over their denominational backgrounds. The...

Re: Looking for a Particular Ministry Publication

That was about the time RK and Co decided to “burn bridges” with the Midwest LC’s. Those Blendeds at LSM really should not let RK play with matches.

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

Totally agree, with the exception of the original Apostles.

I have found it interestingly informative to read the contemporaries of these “renowned” teachers, such as JNDarby, who was so...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

Both the histories of Israel and the Church are filled with leaders who were "workers of lawlessness." That's just a fact. Yes, indeed, there will soon be a "Man of Sin," but there will be many,...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

A multitude of unrelated verses does not define truth. Going back to the earlier comment, when the Lord said “I never knew you,” we must understand this as “I never approved of your word.” ...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

I disagree with this conclusion. Is not Jesus Christ our Creator? If Jesus never knew them, it means they were never even born or conceived in the first place. If Jesus never knew us, then we have...

Re: Prophecy - The End Times

Obviously if you heed the many false prophecies of the end time like the Millerite SDA (1844), the Mayans (2012), or the Arabs (2022), it’s kind of like those predicted by Climate Prophets like Al...

Israel is being told to "turn the other cheek" towards Iran since US moneys paid for those drones.

Re: To the Hebrews

Actually, I never read a scholar coming to my conclusion about Hebrews. All I have read limited the authorship to a lone individual, and that’s why there was no agreement.

Concerning the...

Re: To the Hebrews

Re: From the Frying Pan...into...Another Frying Pan

The article connects the extremes of Wesleyan Methodist holiness perfection with Darby Grant Exclusive...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

John wrote, not to the Jews as say the book of Hebrews, but to the nations, the Gentiles. Early church history (e.g. Schaff) actually speaks of Rome being Babylon and the return (resurrection?) of...

Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

I thought the Book of Ezekiel was filled with Millennial prophecies along with all those concerning the restored Davidic rule of the Christ.

Recently while chatting with a Christian who avoided...

Re: The Law of Christ

Thanks DMW,

As a rule, when making a case for the truths of scripture, we should always consult multiple translations and word-studies.

Re: From the Frying Pan...into...Another Frying Pan

Re: The Law of Christ

Thank you, DMW

This is exactly how I also read the NT - a constant battle between stubborn, hard-hearted, unbelieving Jews jealous for the LAW with its many ordinances vs. the truth of the Gospel...
