    Particular or General Redemption Part 1

    The question that must be asked is "For whom did Christ die?" The Limited Atonement advocate would advance the notion that it is only the elect, while the Unlimited Atonement proponent would posit that it is for all mankind. Being a staunch adherent to Unlimited Atonement I must declare that...

    Israel and the Church

    In contrast to Classic Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology has always maintained the essential continuity of Israel and the church. The elect of all the ages are seen as one people, with one Savior, one destiny. This continuity can be shown by examining a few Old Testament prophesies...

    Israel and the Church Part 1

    Israel and The Church Is the Church a totally separate entity from Israel? Or is the Church a continuation of Israel by which the Church has replaced Israel due to her disobedience? Or is there something in between that would resolve the issue? There are several eschatological paradigms...

    The Trumpet of the Second Coming

    Holden, Let's look at the verses you quoted in support of your theory: Colossians 3:4 "....we will appear with Him in glory." This delineates nothing concerning "the saints" coming with Christ upon His Second Advent. It speaks of our appearance with Him and sharing in His glory when He...

    Israel and The Church Part 1 & 2

    David, I know many Covenant theologian adherents and they all would say that Israel has been replaced by the Church. And to some degree they are right. Israel as a "chosen" people of God i.e. a "corporate" group has been replaced by the Church. And when you say Jews you must specify what...
