From “Justification by Faith and Eschatology”
Robert Brinsmead
Editor, PRESENT TRUTH, Sep. 1974




“The resurrection of Jesus from the dead was declared to be the fulfillment of what God had promised to Abraham, Israel and David.” P5

“Christ was not only the means of God’s fulfilling His word to Israel; He was the means of Israel’s fulfilling her contract to God.” P6

“Christ is the Mediator of the covenant. Through Him and in Him Israel fulfilled all her promises to God. All this was completed by Christ’s death on the Cross. Also, through Him and in Him God fulfilled all His promises to Israel. All this was accomplished in Christ’s resurrection from the dead.” P6

“That which God gave to Israel in the Law and under the Law—tabernacle, Canaan, Jerusalem, kings, etc.—was the old covenant, and at best it could only point to something better.” P8

“The Church is…an eschatological community, a people who not only are destined to inherit the consummated Kingdom but also have already experienced the powers and blessings of that Kingdom through the coming of the Holy Spirit in history.”—G.E. Ladd, p10

“The ordinary man in church thinks far more about his going than about Christ’s coming.” P18

“E.B. Elliott presented a thorough, documented history of the rise of futurism and preterism from (counter-Reformation) Jesuit sources.” P31

“A Judaizing corruption of the Gospel has lead to a Judaizing concept of prophecy and eschatology.” P36

“The Seed of Abraham is Jesus Christ. It includes all who are in Christ and excludes all outside of Christ.” P41

“Abraham was justified by faith and every Gentile who is justified by faith becomes a son of Abraham.” P41

“Crass literalness is in keeping with the method of interpretation used by the Pharisees.” P42

The NT references to the new Israel:
I Pet.2; Mt.21; Rev.1; Rev. 4; Rev. 5; Eph.1, 2; John 1; 2 Cor. 6; James 1, 4; Eph.5; 2 Cor. 11 (the bride theme)

He was excommunicated for the Gospel in the early 70s. It should be detailed in a book called THE SHAKING OF ADVENTISM by G. Paxton, Pres., Queensland Bible Institute

He was still a member of the Seventh Day Adventists church when he wrote the article of his which you quoted, no?

Do you find that you disagree with all those points by him that IP posted above; or just with some of them?

I have always found that where a person departs from sound study principles, they will tend to end up at a view that differs from Scripture only in those areas.

In contrast, those areas where they have followed sound principles in their study of (either knowingly, by accident, or in their parroting of someone who was sound in said area), their conclusions in those areas will tend to be the same as that of anyone else who has followed sound study principles as to those areas.

Another interesting thing I have noticed over the years is that someone who is wrong on a thing they think is for and or about them in Scripture, as do the Adventists in those areas they are off-base in, will tend to end up knowing more about those areas, then someone who does not think those passages are for them, simply because they spend more time in those areas, then those who know those areas and their passages are not for them.

So - do you find that you disagree with all those points by Brinsmead that IP posted above; or just with some of them?
