    Who was it that Christ purchased with His own blood?

    Let's look at the picture God gave us to understand who Christ purchased with His blood. Was it everyone is the world or was it His bride? Exodus 21:1 ¶ Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh...

    Is John 3:16 speaking of the world globally or Covenantally?

    I believe that the love of God in John 3:16 is shown forth whether "world" is speaking globally or Covenantally. Hebrews 11 tells us that God's Old Covenant people could not receive the promise without us, the New Covenant people of God. They could not be perfect without the shed blood of Christ...

    The Awful Possibility Of Apostasy

    THE COMMAND TO PERSEVERE Whenever someone begins to study the scriptural doctrine of apostasy, it leaves him open to the charge that he denies the doctrine of eternal security. As a Calvinist, I affirm the doctrine of eternal security. That is, a person whom God has chosen before the foundation...

    Assurance of Salvation

    Here is a quote from the website www.faithalone.org on assurance. Assurance of salvation is based on the promise of salvation in God's Word but how can we know that we are not being deceived by the enemy, giving us a false sense of security? Also can one have a false sense of eternal security...

    Are Jews that believe the gospel of grace grafted back into the Olive tree?

    If Jews that believe the gospel of grace are grafted back into the olive tree then why do MAD say that Hebrews and 1 and 2 Peter are written to Jews? Since the Jewish Christians in Hebrews obviously believed on Jesus Christ as their Saviour according to Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do...

    Were God's Covenant people in Christ before Calvary?

    Were God's Covenant people in Christ before Calvary? Here we are during Jesus' ministry on earth. He tells us that he is the vine and the believing Jews are the branches in Him, so God's Covenant people were in Christ before Calvary. If they were in Christ before Calvary and we are in...

    Can someone define the Kingdom gospel using scripture?

    MAD teaches that Paul's gospel is defined by 1Cor 15:1-4 but no one has defined the kingdom gospel. They have just said that Paul didn't preach it but they don't say what it is. I would like for someone to define what the kingdom gospel entails? One person said that it entails the land...

    Where is the land promise and Jesus sitting on David's throne in the kingdom gospel?

    Someone made a comment about Paul never preached the land promise or Jesus sitting on David's throne so he never preached the kingdom gospel. Can someone show me where the land promise is in the kingdom gospel? Where is it preached that Jesus will sit on David's throne in the kingdom...

    Is Barbara Striesand one of God's Chosen People?

    Recently Barbara Striesand cussed out a man in the audience of one of her concerts. She told him to shut the F#*& up. Should one of God's Chosen people be talking like that? Almost nothing has been said about this in the liberal national news and what was said was positive to Babs. Is Barbara...

    When was Christ given dominion and authority over all things?

    Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And...

    Same Name

    Israel and the Church are called the same names by God in the Old and New Testaments. Why is that? The "Church" in the New Testament is given the same names that "Israel" was called in the Old Testament. Here are some examples, we were both called a holy nation, kingdom of priests, chosen...

    Dispensationalism's Prophesies

    1880: Rev. Michael Baxter, editor of the Christian Herald, announces in his book The End of This Age about the End of This Century that 1896 would witness the Rapture of 144 000 devout Christians, and that the world would end in 1901.---(NOTE: This prediction failed to happen.) 1973: Hal...

    Are Marcionism and Acts 2 Dispensationalism closely related?

    I will let you judge for yourself. Marcion attempted to reduce the scriptures. He cut out all the scriptures that did not agree with his belief. Here is what Tertullian said about Marcion. Tertullian too contrasted Marcion's reductionism with what he considered Valentinus's expansion...

    Dispensational Proposition #6 and #7

    6) The church, or body of Christ, consists only of those believers saved between Pentecost and the rapture. 7) The Church, or the body of Christ, therefore does not include OT believers. Let's look at a few scriptures that should help us see that #6 and #7 are false. Romans 11:11-24 I...

    Dispensational Proposition #5

    The church age began at Pentecost and will end at the Pretribulation Rapture. The truthfulness of this proposition, as with the first, depends upon how the term “Church” is defined. Since the church is the body of Christ and since it is impossible for anyone past, present, or future to be...

    Dispensational Proposition #4

    The present church age is a "parenthesis" or intercalation during which God has temporarily suspended His primary purpose with Israel. If there were Old Testament prophecies of the church age as Acts 3:24clearly demonstrates, then it cannot legitimately be argued that this age is a...

    Dispensational Propostion #3

    The church age is a mystery, and thus no Old Testament Prophecies foresaw it. Dispensationalism teaches that the church age was completely unforseen in the Old Testament and that it was not revealed until Jesus came. Though this is the unanimous verdict of traditional dispensationalism...
