Reading is FUNdamental. But not everyone can do it.

In my mind the whole argument comes down to how one treats the actual words of the Bible in general and the covenants promised to the Sons of Abraham in particular. It cannot be denied that Jesus spoke of the New Covenant in the upper room. What those outside of dispensationalism want to...

Camping predicted that the end would come in September 1994. He published a book on that topic. In Sept 1994 I was taking an evening class at PCB (Philadelphia College of Bible). This is a dispensational school. No one there gave him any credence. On the drive home (evening of 9/6/94) I tuned...

Futurist...because the details of Scripture matter. The New Covenant that Jesus referred to in the Upper Room is a covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Jacob--Jeremiah ch 31. This has not happened yet. Ezekiel ch 34-36 speaks of a time when Israel and Judah will be one in the...

Since your are not all that interested, I'm not interested.

I am truly sorry that you are confused on theses matters.

You left out the part where you state that once upon a time you were a dispie but then you got yourself some academic chops and discovered that all of the cool PhDs are covenant Amils.

The question that one needs to answer is not is Covenant Theology the best or is Dispensationalism correct or whatever. The question is what does the Bible teach? You are not going to get the answer to that question on a chit-chat forum. Sorry if that offends. Our blessed Lord told us to go...

To me this all comes down to either taking the words of the Bible seriously or taking the words of Augustine/Calvin seriously. The real pity here is we all have concordances on our shelves and dictionaries and Bibles galore but we settle our theological curiosity from various sources outside of...

Jesus tells his followers in Matt ch 24 (in particular beginning at vs 15) that regarding the details of the end times we should pay particular attention to Daniel, in particular Daniel ch 9. Those that look with anticipation to His coming should make it their business to understand what Daniel...

Yes kenneth558 I'm a Baptist and I really love being lectured by scary smart non-Baptists!

I was going to put your name in for a tuition free seminary ride but I in all honesty you know more about the Bible and dispensationalism than the professors! My advice would be for you to stop giving it away for nothing, rather put your teachings in manuscript form. I'm certain that Zondervan...

Thank you for one of the better defenses of dispensationalism that I have read on this forum in a long time. You have masterfully laid the groundwork to argue that there is no Biblical support for the covenants of works, grace and redemption. Not to mention you have shown a commitment to...

I'm curious to know if it would be considered bad form or otherwise inappropriate for dispensationalists here to go to the covenant theology sub-forum and point out all of the flaws, of which there are many, in that system?

This might work if, and this is a big if, but if the details of Biblical prophecy did not matter. They do however matter to me so call me what ever names makes you happy but Daniel ch 7, the 10 horns, then another horn (the man of sin), plucking three of the horns, this is all future. If it...

It is very obvious that Phil W believes that we are saved by works.

In response to the question is the persons in Matthew 7:23 are they saved, Phil W states: I would personally like for you to prove this.

The question Phil W is, and I know that it will be very difficult for you to see this but here is the question: Is the man in Matthew 7:23 being asked to leave and march himself right straight to hell or is there something else here? And I'm not talking about purgatory or another similar place...

What we do is we study the Bible and take what the Bible teaches us and thus form our faith and theology. The Bible in many passages teaches clearly that "by grace are we saved through faith....not by works so that no man can boast". The Bible doesn't say anywhere that we must, has you say "turn...

Every single false religion that man has invented has a works requirement. However the Holy Bible teaches in many passages that we cannot purchase our salvation by works of any kind. The challenge therefore is to find an explanation for those passages that talk about works by the believer. Can...
