The very term "dispensation" (Greek oikonomia) means a stewardship. Dispensational scholar Charles Ryrie's definition: "A dispensation is a distinguishable economy in the outworking of God’s purpose” (Dispensationalism, p. 33). So your #1 definition is off, but the #2 and #3 put together are...

I respect any martial artist who has actually competed and put his techniques on the line. Norris did, Lee did not.

There are a few who have tried to resurrect the ninja lifestyle and martial art, but nothing similar on the samurai, except in the bamboo sword fighting sport of Kendo. However, there have been quite a few movies and TV shows with a samurai theme.

I don't know where you are getting this. 1. The Keswick Movement, which you are calling a "higher life" movement, started in 1875 in the English town of Keswick, not America. 2. The speakers at the first yearly meeting were all solid evangelicals. Eventually, great fundamentalists such as Hudson...

I think that was about the insurance company rather than the government, but I agree with you as the statement stands.

This is a good, informative site: AB506 Resources. It covers the issue of one on one times with children. Our policy is that (1) no adult should be alone with a child not a relative, and (2) no adult should be alone in a restroom with a child not a relative. Years ago we had an incident where...

If the law is interfering with the worship services, doctrine, etc. of the church, then it is a violation of the separation of church and state. However, what you described sounds more like a safety issue, and if so the insurance company and the government are proper in requiring this. The...

I took a seminary class from him in 1993 on apologetics. He's a top flight scholar on that, and maybe the leading scholar on the resurrection. He also likes the Shroud of Turin--believes it's real.

Samurai sword versus no sword and no gun? Dead opponent. Samurai with no sword? He would use traditional jujutsu, which could be deadly depending on the particular style of jujutsu. So it depends on how trained the opponent was in his fighting method. Ninja with weapons? Dead opponent...

Except that ideally all missionary translations should be done from the Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek.

That's over-simplifying it.

I don't think so.

The Holiness movement--Wesleyans, etc. Resulted in perfectionism, belief that sickness is always from sin, etc. The Keswick Movement--R. A. Torrey, Hudson Taylor, and many other prominent fundamentalists of the day. Keswick theology is not emotionalism, but a well thought out theology of...

How in the world can a critical text of the NT be "spurious"? Almost every word of it is in the TR. It leaves out words and phrases and sometimes whole verses (and I strongly object to that), but what is left is virtually all what is in the TR. Caveat: I am a Bible translator and do my work from...

What is the URL of your website?

Concerning cult Bibles such as the New World Translation, I don't think Satan has to do a thing about influencing them. I've communicated with JW translators both in the US and Japan. and have rebuked them in both cases as being poor translators. It is fully sufficient to say that translators...

I think you missed my point. I talked about verses in the NKJV that are exactly the same as the KJV. Have those verses ceased to be the Word of God simply because they are in the NKJV? Again, I will not say "That is not what I said" unless you twist my words into a different meaning. For...

Welcome back, Sarge.

In support of what I wrote above, remember "The Translators to the Reader" at the beginning of the 1611 KJV, which said: “We affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as...

Of course.
