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...

The Scriptures are clear that salvation was by grace through faith in the OT. The best of men do not have pure righteousness. If Paul said it, even if he were the only one, he is inspired by the Holy Spirit so he knows. "Abram put his faith in the Lord, who reckoned it to him as...

There is no Scripture I know that suggests such a thing as the Jews returning to the promised land. The come into the body of Christ, the New Covenant congregation of God.

If I ever wrote that the physical Jews were "cast off forever", I surely erred and mistyped. My belief is, they are cast off the promised land forever and ever. They had the entire land promised to them, they became so wicked that God did what he told them he would do, he cast them out of the...

Covenants, Dispensations and the Rapture The phrases "covenant of works", "covenant of grace" or "covenant of redemption" are not in the Bible, they are theological constructions. We do have the "Old Covenant" and "New Covenant" clearly stated in the Bible, the exact wording. The word...

If you are talking about a generation that are hundreds of years distant, you use the word "that" as in the KJV - "Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways." (Heb 3:10, KJV)

When it comes to the seriousness of God's word, I do not "assume", or at least I strive not to "assume". I stick to: "Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that...

"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Matt 24:34, KJV) "Truly I tell you: the present generation will live to see it all." (Matt 24:34, REB) "I tell you in solemn truth that the present generation will certainly not pass away without all...

Give us the Scripture where you find such as that. If you are thinking Romans 11, there is no such promise of returning to the land there.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal 3:28-29, KJV) Israel lost the promise of land by disobedience.

No, it does not say "the Day of the Lord", it says "the Lord's Day" and it is the only occurrence in all of Scripture of that phrase. The similar phrase "the Lord's supper" also occurs only once in the entire Bible. It is where the death of Christ is honored. In like manner it makes more...

Recently I found what is to my mind, the best understanding of this passage: "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)...

Dispensationalism is Destroyed by the Literal Hermeneutic I left dispensationalism when I began to see the dispensationalist teachings clearly contradicted by the Scriptures. I must only give the references for those interested to read for themselves. Is Israel still awaiting possession of...
