TetTroll is a major clown. :kookoo:
I have absolutely no respect for "TetTroll."
No, I do know.
There isn't going to be animal sacrifices for sin in the future.
That's because the Lord Jesus Christ made a one time sacrifice for ALL sin for ALL time.
One of the biggest fundamental flaws of Dispensationalism is the claim that animal sacrifices for sin will be required by God in the future.
All sins were paid for at the cross for all time (past, present, and future).
Darby followers don't believe that. Darby followers claim there will be animal sacrifices for sin in the future.
You are anti-Christ when it comes to what was accomplished at the cross.
What is it exactly that you do on TOL?
Answer:
A) You're a Darby Cheerleader for your fellow Darby followers.
B) You insult everyone who isn't a Darby follower.
You claim to be a follower of Paul's gospel.
However, you believe the exact opposite of what Paul taught because you have chosen to be a follower of John Nelson Darby.
Your Dispensationalism claims that there will be sin offerings required from God in the future, as described in the following verse:
(Ezekiel 40:39 KJV) And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
The Apostle Paul taught the exact opposite of what your Dispensationalism teaches.
IOW, you don't follow Paul, you follow Darby.
IOW, you don't follow Paul, you follow Darby.
So let me get this straight. On the one hand, Tet says that I and other MADs deny the one-time death burial and resurrection of Christ for our justification, which anyone who knows anything about what Paul taught would indicate that such a person simply is not saved.
On the other hand, Tet refuses to say that we're not saved, despite what he says we believe.
That about it?

NCT is a form of antinomianism. NCT adherents hold that Our Lord, in some sense, brought a new, better, and higher law, virtually denying Him as the lawgiver on Sinai in the first place, and implying an imperfection in God, since the Psalmist and the very nature of God teaches us that the Law of the Lord is perfect (complete, sufficient, not needing correction, etc.). The reality is that Our Lord came and in the Sermon on The Mount corrected the Pharisaical perversions of the moral law, not abolishing the Decalogue, but reclaiming the right understanding of it. It is a most grievous and consequentially wicked error.
Within NCT folk, there is such an animus toward law. The NCT folks take certain antithetical-sounding statements by Paul, which then constitute their formal principle of theology. In practical terms, NCT adherents will usually be found in conformity (after a fashion) with most of the moral law—the 4th commandment excepted. I think NCT really do want to follow the Lord, but they also want to think of discipleship in terms that leave obedience almost out of sight.
Consider the way NCT person will read Jer.31:34. The Christian doesn't need to "hear" the law, because it is already pre-formed and perfected on the heart. "Obedience" is more a matter of re-accustomization to the re-calibrated internal compass. The disjunct between the way faith and obedience operated in the OT and the way it happens in the NT age is total. In NCT, Christianity is fundamentally a NEW religion. Sigh.
I think NCT is basically dispensationalism that has been significantly purged of some distinctive elements, and reformulated through influences that include historic covenant-theology. NCT has gone further than "progressive" dispensationalism, but I think they are both on a continuum of modification.
The NCT hostility to anything that feels like a legal principle leads to semantic games with regard to the commands of Our Lord or Apostolic imperatives. If you don't like law, then these can't be "laws." Within NCT, they are but guidance to the Spirit within the Christian, or some such. They sound like directions, but really they are more like descriptions of "what Christians do when led by the Spirit." Only the flesh, in reaction to the law, still engages in disobedience--but it's not the new you.
If we covenantalists ask the question, "what does love to God and neighbor look like?" in truth we should end up with a picture of the moral law. Yet NCT resists that definition with all its might. The New Covenant Theology proponent will say, "if you just love Jesus, if you just learn to admire who he is and what he did, then you will naturally be like him in practice without minding any directions. Whatever you do—if it doesn't appear to be opposed to God—must be spiritual." No rules; rules just encourage the flesh. :AMR:

Maybe he needs the second rain, the anointing? Puh-raaaaazzzzze Gaaaaaaawd!!!!Yeah, he's a mess.
Maybe he needs the second rain, the anointing?
Nope. Already fulfilled in Christ.
You think the anointing, rain, is literal? Hmmmph....
Do you think the Preamble to the Constitution is literal?
