A. A. Hodge (1823-1886), Presbyterian, Outlines of Theology: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/aahodge/OutlinesofTheology-AAHodge.pdf What is the Scriptural doctrine concerning the millennium? 1st. The Scriptures, both of the Old and New Testament, clearly reveal that the gospel is...

From James Petigru Boyce (1827–1888) served as a Southern Baptist pastor, theologian, author, seminary professor, and founder and first president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. http://www.reformedreader.org/rbb/boyce/aos/toc.htmhttp://www.reformedreader.org/rbb/boyce/aos/toc.htm...

You seem to defend dispensational doctrine at times, and then switch to historic premillennial beliefs. What is your understanding of prophecy? John Gill to me represents historic premillennialism, and here are his comments on key passages. Do you agree with Gill and if not where do you...

If the Jews had not rejected the Messiah's kingdom and had not crucified the Lord of glory, there would be no death of the Savior. Supposedly the literalist's kingdom prophesied in the OT would then have been set up. So who would have paid for sins and redeemed men? Ezekiel 40-48 in literal...

Dispensationalists depict the millennium like an Old Covenant Israel, including sacrifices, but supposedly accepting Jesus as their Messiah. They seem to think this is the kingdom that would have been set up in the 1st century if the Jews had not rejected Jesus and his kingdom and God had to...

Does the gospel of Jesus Christ have power to change the world? I'll quote a passage from The Heritage Foundation - https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/report/tocqueville-christianity-and-american-democracy "Modern democratic freedom, Tocqueville argues, developed as a result of...

A dispensationalist has no right whatsoever to compare his distortion of historic pre-millennialist belief to that found in history prior to the 1800s! Dispensationalism arrived in the 19th century, NOT previously. Too many weird, man-made teachings have been added to historic pre-mil beliefs...

You can go back through early church history and pick statements out of context and prove anything in the world. I've already learned you cannot trust anything dispensationalist claim. For those interested, Lous berkhof has a great section on the views on the millennium. I'm quoting just a...

I'm writing to expand on this earlier post/reply about the word "church". It may be good to expand the post I'm relying to in order to catch the connection. 1828 Webster's entry of "church" gives 9 uses or definitions for "church" one of which is: "6. The worshipers of Jehovah or the true God...

NO! I am not talking about his tweets. His repeated uses of full words of B.S. and F..... It is so low-class and unbefitting a leader. I'm being more and more turned off by so many Trump endorsed Republicans. It surely is low class and crude to use the sexual slang BDE (had to go to...

As I'm post-mil, not a-mil, I'll just give a link to a historical look at that. Because of the similarity in some ways between a-mil and post-mil, both may claim many of the quotes listed: https://postmillennialworldview.com/2019/05/03/preterism-in-history/ It is the writings of the apostles...

Dispensationalism is an autonomous approach to Scripture, the true "private interpretation". Directed at ALL dispensationalists, not anyone in particular, concerning Acts 1:6-8: 7 Baptist - Charles Haddon Spurgeon "They had not got rid of their old ideas concerning a kingdom visible among...

I do not see a physical deliverance in that passage. You put in bold text about the enemy and I do not find what you seem to imply. The enemy I find different in the NT - "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels." (Matt...

You are correct, I should not have placed "heaven" in that answer.

Not "private interpretation" at all. It seems you are the one insisting upon literal when the book is so symbolic in language. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel...

The apostles often misunderstood things, so I pay more attention to what was said or NOT said by Jesus Christ. There is no prophecy in the NT about the kingdom being restored to Israel. It was clearly stated to be taken away, but nothing about it being restored to Israel. You must read that...

Is Dispensationalism the increase of knowledge in the traditional translation of Daniel 12:4, at the time of the end? When it is pointed out to a modernist prophecy believer that his system is a radically new idea that can't be supported in Scripture or church history, you'll sometimes hear a...

I'm not Lutheran but I like to get input from different Study Bibles. I have very conservative study Bibles, very liberal ones, RCC, the study Bible of the Orthodox Church as well and the Oxford Study Bibles and MacArthur. As to Lutherans, I do like the An American Translation by William F...

I take this as speaking of glory, heaven, the eternal home of God's people from both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. So, you have the Old Covenant children of God represented by the tribes of Israel, and the New Covenant children represented by the apostles. Since "church" is not truly...

Who spiritualizes, makes symbolic or interprets as a figure of speech in the following passages? I agree with Dispensationalists that Daniel 9, Matthew 24 & Revelation refer to the same time period. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the...
