Brother, having been in Scofield dispensationalism when young, I began to see something very serious. It is about "pride". As a dispensationalist, when I visited another church, my first inclination was to check to see what Study Bible they used. If the congregation wasn't using the Scofield...

Since the disciples so often had misunderstood Jesus, we cannot read the disciples' mind on what they meant by "the end of the world/age". They possibly considered that the destruction of the temple would be the end of time, world or age. The same Greek word had been used previously in Matthew...

I notice you evaded the challenge and proceeded to duck the issue. You class me with "amil/preterists", which I am NOT, and claim I am making this about a salvation issue. You are making a false statement about what I wrote. I did not mention "salvation", but I referred to Jude 1:3, "the...

A CHALLENGE FOR THE DISPENSATIONALISTS "Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints." (Jude 1:3, ASV) I cannot find in...

You are the one needing to get things right. The "world" under discussion in Matthew in Strong's is: "G165 αἰών aion (ai-ōn') n." It is not cosmos. I was not discussing John 3:16. The argument about "the end of the world" holds true whether it is translated "age" or "world" - and the enemy...

Are Dispensationalists Judaizers? I do believe they come close to that. Read the article in the Jewish Magazine: http://www.jewishmag.com/157mag/israel_returns_to_promised_land/israel_returns_to_promised_land.htm The last paragraph of that article reads: "The Twelve Israelite Tribes will...

What the NT "world" meant in Matt. 24:14 and in Rom 1:8 are both referring to the then known world. Rom. 1:8 even reads "whole world", the total. That is the Roman Empire to the people at that time. Col. 1:23 reads "preached to every creature which is under heaven", so that has to be the...

The latter days, or last days? Read about when this took place, according to Scripture, not silly footnotes in a study Bible. "And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven... But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to...

I do not find it so important to be premil, amil or postmil. I just wish to be ready on that day. But I do care when I see false prophets twisting Scripture to support their already held, man-made conception of eschatology. So, I offer the following on Matthew 24. "And as he sat upon the...

Paul speaking of books: "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments." (2Tim 4:13, KJV)

John Gill, the 18th century Baptist was premillennial, but NOT a dispensationalist, which heresy did not exist then. Here is part of what he wrote about the millennium - "This glorious and visible kingdom of Christ, will not take place till after the resurrection of the just, and the renovation...

On Romans 11 - But if some of the branches(Physical Jews) were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot(Elect Gentiles), were grafted in their place to share the richness/rich root (Jesus the Christ) of the olive tree(God's people), do not boast over the branches(Physical Jews). If you do boast...

Trump has always used foul language but it had become increasingly worse. If he continues using variations of the "f" word in rallies, I'll vote one of the other parties, but not Democrat. I actually believe the USA is already lost. It is evidenced clearly by so many things, but one major...

Dispensationalists can invent the term "replacement theology" but Gal. 6:16 in context is quite clear. If any descriptive phrase could be invented, it would be "Israel continued", which is the body of Christ, the church, the New Covenant congregation. I have no idea where you got the idea that...

"Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In...

I watched Donald Trump in his rally in Wisconsin tonight and it seems he toned down the foul language. Hopefully he has gotten the message and this was not just a temporary caution in his language.

You are right, the word "everlasting" means what it says, which is determined by the context. From the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament on the Hebrew word olam - 1631a עוֹלָם (‘ôlām) forever, ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual, old, ancient, world, etc. (RSV similar in general...

The actions of Govenor DeSantis as executive of Florida are more and more impressing me very positively. While I've voted for Trump twice and will a third time if he is the nominee against a Democrat in 2024, I'm beginning to hope Trump changes his mind about running in 2024. I am so turned...

I appreciate the kind words I've read in reply to my OP. For serious Bible study, not everyone uses a computer software Bible, but there are great aids online. The following are some online links that students of the Bible will find helpful. I'm not 'KJV only', but it is a version that I...

It was over 50 years ago I became disillusioned about what I'd been taught about the Bible, the Christian faith, etc. I lost confidence in preachers, teachers and 'study Bibles'. After prayer and serious thought, I chose an approach that began at the basics. I knew of the verse "To the law and...
