    ECT All the NT Davidic references are fulfilled in Christ's mission

    This proposition shows in all the places it comes up. Let's take Mt 22. There is no 2nd sense here or trick question. He has told them what the Christ is and it is the Gospel. That person, completing the Gospel, is David's son. There is no delayed or other theocracy in Judea sense. The...

    ECT A sort of good news for Israel within the Gospel

    The following statement should make the NT background and history cohere properly (instead of ignoring it) and should satisfy some people's need for 'another' gospel. There is only one Gospel, but it was introduced in the early 1st century when the rebellion predicted by dan 9 was already...

    Satanic church in Seattle area may get after school usage

    Equal time they say, but the explanations about what would be accomplished by this are embarrassing folly. 1, This alternative version of "Bible clubs" is needed, they say, to teach logic and rationality. I hope the school administrators are listening; they might want to go ask the Satanists...

    ECT Shall we use the NT interp of the OT or MAD/D'ism's?

    That's what all of the D'ist debate is about. It's about mere men trying to 'make sense' of the Bible and putting their theories above it, especially if a passage is about the very topic! (Gal 3, Rom 4, 2 Cor 3-5, Heb 8-10) Or about a key term/expression like 'the righteousness of God.'

    ECT MAD fails on the gift and age of the Spirit

    The prophets pretty much uniformly said that when Messiah comes, the Spirit of God would be active on earth--"poured out on all flesh." Not only did this contrast to isolated or incidental cases from the OT, it was also placed on a condition: that the person would have had the righteousness of...

    ECT Was Christ "Doing Prophecy" in Mt 24?

    No, he was speaking protectively about his followers and how he was going to get them through the worst chapter of Israel. AND IT WORKED! That is the inexplicable thing about D'ist people!!! Here we are today and we are here because of something that almost didn't work!!! They nearly did not get...

    ECT The thing MAD can't grasp about the plot of the NT

    It is not that God decided to change programs from a theocratic Israel to the mission of the Gospel during Christ's ministry. He always was going to the nations, but he wanted as many in Israel to help as possible. Thus Pentecost, Acts 15 and 26 show the mission to be the direction of the...

    ECT ...to which the Law and the Prophets testify, Rom 3.

    I hope those who see nothing in the OT about the Gospel of Christ's righteousness will absorb this line. It's all there. Law and Prophets. Not just exilic and post-exilic prophets.

    Deluge vs Uniformitarian "Building"

    I followed Baumgartner a lot when writing DELUGE OF SUSPICIONS which is at Amazon. I heard him again recently, and the global deluge position is stronger than ever. Chew on this one: the granite finish of Ayers Rock are 'sharp and irregular' rather than polished, which means it was recent...

    PC Dictatorship begins

    U of Houston, July 2016. A student is told she must stop certain posts, suffer academic setbacks and attend 'sensitivity retraining.' The horrible things she did was heard the news about the Dallas police deaths and injuries and wrote that "All lives matter." btw, where do universities get...

    ECT MAD interp flaw

    I find that MAD simply does not acknowledge the classic Reformation interp principle of using the Letters to make final determination of what the historic accounts meant. MAD seems to spend its time in the gospels and Acts trying to find different stages of an evolving gospel, instead of taking...

    Totalitarian infrastructure at U of Houston

    BLM is a dictatorial organization funded by George Soros who helped the Nazi movement liquidate thousands of people in Hungary in WW2. Obama could have stopped the fraud of Hands Up... but of course did not. And has now paid terrorists $400M to free hostages. The method of "treatment" of the...

    Two obtuse candidates, but the Left seeks to subsume the US Constitution

    It is the Left that has closed minds and patrols campuses with its PC thought police. And we know Hilary is their guy with all the propped up crises funded by Soros, so what is the question? The "open letter" by the Gulf vet to the Kahns (at Fox news) puts the attention back on being a...

    ECT Evangelistic saturation?

    With the capability of mass media and the possibility that at least one person in most families has been in contact with the true Gospel, is it time for believers to approach the whole thing in a completely different way which reflects those two things: to simply ask people what they think the...

    ECT Other tricky nuance translations

    Recently the MAD folks have made quite a bit out of 'the gospel to the circumcision' and 'the gospel of the kingdom'. Basic Greek grammar would have straightened this out. Here is another which often comes up: Gal 2: the life I live, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and...

    ECT Is Warning about Socialism a Necessity in Our Communication to the World?

    I think it was Dr. Schaeffer who quoted Luther on necessary communication: "If we fail to speak about the one area which the devil is attacking at the moment, then it does not matter if we say all the other things about the Gospel if we fail on that." While some pastors spend too much time...

    CBC Canada radio mimics US Leftist position on race and police

    Apparently, the way to redouble effort on unfair police is to have the same articles written (from a source script?) on national radio of Canada. Yesterday, the article was on 'tendency to do racial profiling' in the US. The Left does not seem to know or deal with acts of crime. They only...
