Not necessarily. Only many centuries later did "that Prophet" that Moses had so vaguely referred to (the Christ) finally show up. The NT Scriptures repeatedly blame unbelieving Israelites for their having failed to believe on Christ; not once does the NT blame Moses. In short, your above...

Good site for Mid-Acts based studies. Here's one: http://www.midactstruths.com/2019/09/06/the-gifts-of-the-spirit/ 2 Tim. 2:15-18

The following is from part of a description of a book on Trump published way back in 1995: "Barrett's investigation of these deals provides not only a fascinating chronicle of Trump's own suspect business practices, but also a hair-raising account of the workings of power brokers in the heady...

Many Christians have a bad habit of allowing themselves to get so caught up in looking for some sort of a life application lesson in all things Scripture that they completely fail to look into what many accounts in Scripture actually are - literal accounts of things that took place back then...

The Fig Tree is NOT the Nation israel - the Vineyard is... Isaiah 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. The Fig Tree represents...

Nope, that was not the gospel preached in the OT - this was... Deuteronomy 6:24 And the LORD commanded us TO DO all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe TO DO...

The Fig Tree REPRESENTS or SYMBOLIZES the Nation ISRAEL'S RELIGIOUS life. Luke 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three...

Yep again, turns out it does "have to do with Dispensationalism." Might as well have asked "what does 2 Tim. 2:15-18 have to with Dispensationalism?"

Lol, perhaps they'd meant "poof" not "proof."

They start out literal. But then, where they have failed to dig a bit deeper before allowing themselves their conclusip.s. on it, they wind up, say, turning into a figure of speech, for example, that which is literal. They never FULLY broke away from the Reformed that Darby's Dispensationalism...

Lol, I hold to just four Dispensations - Promise, Law, Grace, Kingdom Fulness. So, there. :)

They and their predecessors have been literal but the problem is various of their conclusions are based on having failed to dig a bit deeper before allowing themselves said conclusions. Dispensationalism is about and was recovered via simply unavoidable, finer and finer distinctions between...

The Land Promise is found throughout the NT. Always thought a thread on the Land Promise from a Dispensational perspective would make a great thread. Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God...

As with any school of thought in general, so within Christianity in particular - one is bound to run across different understandings within a same school. As with Reformed and it's various offshoots, Dispensationalism is no different. Most who hold to Dispensationalism hold an Acts 2...

Again, Rom. 11:26's "all Israel" is in light of Rom. 9:6's "...they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:" This is the same model as Romans 11's... 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God...

DP, I hope you are well, these days... A thought... Your stated belief that the Spirit gives a Believer the desire that Paul is speaking of in 1 Tim. 3:1 is just that- your belief. And it's a belief that renders Paul's words in 1 Tim. 3:1 as some sort of a guessing at on Paul's part; a...

Your comment about God's role in said appointments only highlights why this is an issue that has to be studied Dispensationally. Because how one thing or another works may or may not only change from one Dispensation to another, but within a particular Dispensation itself, including God's and...

The above is a Dispensational issue. As such, it has to be studied as such. Meaning, it should be studied throughout the whole of Scripture - how it worked where Israel was concerned; how it worked with Israel within early Acts; as well as how it worked within the early Body, and how that...

Your last paragraph, there, reminds me of the Apostle Paul's attitude to that sort of thing... "...what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified...
