I recently heard one Christian speaker refer to the 'Bruised and Bleeding Pharisees.' Here's what he meant. They thought (this is fiction) that when Jesus said you are in adultery with a woman if you look on her to lust, that they better put on eye or face coverings to prevent this. The...

The most expected place to find this is Hebrews 11-13. We know this from all the MAD experts who are quite sure Hebrews is, well, for Hebrews. But we find in the letter that they are being warned harshly that their land will be burnt in that generation for not believing the Gospel, and then...

The resurrection of Christ was his reward 'for the travail of his soul' (Is. 53). He was enthroned on high because his work would justify many sinners from what they had done. He was made Lord and Christ, Acts 2. He was the fulfillment of all that was promised to Israel, generating a mission...

In John 13-17 there are three places where you could swoop in, grab a sound-byte and be off in to a fantasy world of prosperity gospel or something. One is 14:14. 'you may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.' By swooping in, most people will miss the 'in my name' part and tell...

You obviously don't like learning about the historic doctrines, so go on the offensive and start threads that favor what you like from your more recent guys. Just remember, it's an open arena and all questions are on the table.

Today's criticism of old IP is that he's not specific. Well, for 1.5 years (please note the nearest 10th of a year) I have posted that no NT passage on the 2nd coming has Judaic or Judean (land) detail to it. The list is: Rom 2, 8, I Cor 15, Acts 17, Heb 9, 2 Tim 2, I Jn 2, Col 3, 2 Peter 3...

How are people interested in science and origins doing reading on catastrophic plate tectonics? Any good new stuff out this year from Baumgartner etc.?

Pardon my overlooking Is 10:22,23 (Rom 9:27) as much as I have. Here are the basic declarations: 1, it does not matter how large Israel becomes 2, only the remnant that has faith will be saved 3, the judgement of God on it (possibly the whole earth) is coming relatively soon (even for Isaiah's...

A future restoration of a state/theocracy/worship system of Israel is said to be the clinching proof that God's promises are true. Otherwise God lies. This problem was already dealt with in Rom 3:3 and 9:6. God is faithful or constant, and that can be shown negatively: he DOES judge when his...

The generation from Christ to the destruction of Jerusalem (DofJ) was decisive. The end of an age was at hand--that of the role of Judaism, determined by God. But there would be an attempt to fight back against this determination. That was the zealot rebellion, which believed there would be...

Were you in a group or by yourself?

Print and tape near your screen: 2P2P two peoples, two programs. The essence of D'ism D'ism Dispensationalism--a view of the bible that fractures its unity of Jew and Gentile in the Gospel DofJ the destruction of Jerusalem event of 66-72 AD Eph2A-3B the best passage on resolving any...

The babes who nursed at the crucifixion would grow to be adults and live through the horror of the destruction of Jerusalem, which was the exact same theme expressed through out the book, especially in 13, 19, 21. The only thing MAD can do with this, is the fracturing that they always do with...

Did you know the Gospels, 2 Cor 3-5 and Hebrews are all pre-chopped and that you are barred from entry? You can't have what they offer? Ask the MAD guys who need to get out, get air, have a beer, and "do the work of an evangelist" so they stop screwing up the Bible with overthought...

That was a quote from RD on Sep.7. But he hasn't quite got the idea, since MAD's mental illness is 2P2P. Acts 1 repeats the frequent Messianic mission objective: 'you are my witnesses.' Not just to Israel and not just about Israel issues. It was to get a message of forgiveness and...

STP wrote: I am not under the new covenant or new testament, so I do not have a new testament faith. I have been saying this for months. MAD is reversion back to Judaism, which places the law as an institution and community-base in place of the Promised Gospel. It does not have NT faith.

Show where a future restoration of Israel in its land is the answer that soothes a hostile interaction between Christian and Judaism. It never happens because it is not what the apostles believed.

"Catastrophic geological structures around the world completely overwhelm any concept of uniformitarianism." So what do skeptics do? They fuss and howl about being unable to find Noah's ark. This reminds me of what D'ists do about the DofJ. You have not only a massive event in antiquity...

Only a 2G2P2P D'ist would pee on Holford's victory against Payne by showing the bone-crushing force of God's wrath predicted by Christ in that generation. And did I mention it was a victory? It caused many in England to ignore Payne's total trashing of the Bible in 1805, so thoroughly, that...

...and he did. The Lord who was to sit at God's right hand was already being called Lord and is now enthroned. It is David's own words who are most often used to underwrite this, in early Acts, in Hebrews, and in Acts 13. The land and temple promised completed their purposes in David's...
