Basic teachings of Mid Acts Dispensational right division – Jesus, in his earthly ministry, ministered to the circumcision. (Rom 15:8, see here) – The mystery of Christ was first revealed to Paul (Col 1:25-26, 1 Tim 1:16, and here) – Prophecy and mystery are different (Acts 3:19-21 vs Rom 16:25)...

Several NT quotes come from Is 53 of course, but not a few are from the surrounding chapters that show us how the apostles were taught to read it. Is 54's first few should be known from Gal 4 as part of the resolution to the new people called Israel--those who are of faith. But even if you've...

This seems to have some sense to it. Yet there are plenty of instances where 1, this doesn't matter (you would 'minister' to those where you lived regardless) and 2, where He indicated his message was (eventually) for all people. (You don't provide atonement for sin one way for one race of...

NYT column this week by Kristof shows he is one of the few in the media who get it. He reviewed black evangelical sociologist George Yancey's work and realized that American media and education institutions are the most censorious, biased, discriminating channels in the world. To him, "liberal...

Readers of Schaeffer will be interested to review the 1st half of this regarding the role of Descartes. Descartes was one scientist and thinker who Schaeffer would call an optimistic Enlightenment person, not realizing he was eroding the only basis that would provide optimism. He had a direct...

With 'departure' (as in re-materialization) out of the question, 'apostasia' becomes more interesting if we consider that it sometimes has to do with real estate and/or divorce (BDF Lexicon). Look at them from both directions. There is no clear indication from the passage as to who is doing...

Found in the thread on I Tim 6 and MAD: (It has taken about 2 years to find this after asking Danoh, for one, to do so). Basic teachings of Mid Acts Dispensational right division – Jesus, in his earthly ministry, ministered to the circumcision. (Rom 15:8, see here) – The mystery of Christ was...

Other than the particular topic (the use of bathrooms) what is the difference between our federal policy using a subjective basis for gender identity and the Nazi doctrine that 'it is our reality that Jews are not human'? Political correctness is the stupidity that is left over after...

He may not understand why modern people use the technology they do, but he has returned to say that he's the answer to Europe's problems. This time the problems are national debts and of course floods of immigrants. When he does find those who react against socialism and the immigrants, he's...

Jeremiah does sound like the land is attached to the new covenant in 23-33. But that is only if THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is limited to just Israel. Isaiah's vision is worldwide. "It is too small a thing for (my Servant) to restore Israel; I will make him a light for the nations." This is...

I challenge you all to read FOOTHOLD and still be dispensationalist. It is not a 'theology.' It is a biographical journey of a 'child soldier' taught to hate Israel among other things. It is written in utter practicality, given the increasing rate and breadth of Islamic attacks. See my...

What was the difference Lenin had with Marxism that he didn't want to admit? Alternate: what is the difference between Marxism and communism? (same answer)

This age is the time of God's favor and the day of salvation that was promised. We can add a bit of 1st century detail to that by saying there was a way to avoid the conflagration with Rome (and God's final judgement on Israel through that) by being a 'minister of reconciliation' with Paul...

There are two aspects to salvation that matter in this life. (The third is glorification in the next life). They are: 1, God's work for us in Christ in history 2, God's work in us through the Spirit now #1 is justification. It is not about changes in our lives, but it is the cause of that...

While teaching on Amos 3:4, the teacher decided he needed to make prophecy really real. So he said that 3:4 was actually about the number of tanks that tried to pour into Israel in 1973. That's what "sledges with iron teeth" are. Then he said that 1973 was the largest assembly of tanks ever...

This expression in Rom 11, say the D'ists, is certainly the trump. Surely God means to restore a theocratic kingdom to Israel and Christ enthroned in Jerusalem for that. But what paragraph is it in and what is said with finality in that paragraph? Rom 9-11 is about the question of why so...

When this National Geographic piece narrated by Morgan Freeman left the Abrahamic religions, it said that they were essentially occupied with the apocalypse or day of judgement. He moved on to those which were cyclical by starting with the Mayans. On closer examination, he might have noticed...
