If the cap fits, you can wear it, chum.

Correction. I just googled Allis up and observe that he was a colleague of J. Gresham Machen, so I must have seen his name when I read Machen's biography some years ago. But all the Presbyterians I have read or debated with (on the Puritan Board) have been adamant that the covenants are all...

I never heard of Oswald Allis in my life. If he does not believe in the continuity of the covenants (except for the Sinaitic Covenant - Heb 8:13), I would say that he is not a covenant theologian of any sort. Why would I want to read his book? But isn't it great that we agree about something...

First of all, covenantal amillennialists do not believe that God has forsaken the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants. I wrote a long screed on the Abrahamic covenant on this board; perhaps you did not see it. The covenant promises to Abraham were of land, nation and seed. Each of these has both...

Martin Marprelate said: @Jope, Perhaps I may ask you one question. A quick flick through the thread did not show me where you answered this before. If 'Israel' in Romans 9-11 always means physical Jews, how do you interpret Romans 11:26. 'And so all Israel will be saved.' I do, and I'm...

@Jope, Perhaps I may ask you one question. A quick flick through the thread did not show me where you answered this before. If 'Israel' in Romans 9-11 always means physical Jews, how do you interpret Romans 11:26. 'And so all Israel will be saved.' Does it mean all Israelites who ever lived...

John 6:60. 'Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it."' Perhaps your first language is not English? Would it help if I wrote it in French? Or perhaps I should follow your example and repeat myself over and over again. Would...

Your link doesn't appear to work. If you will kindly give me the post number, I will gladly respond.

You have indeed stated these things numerous times. As a newcomer to this thread I have no doubt as to what you believe, but you have not persuaded me that what you believe is correct. I can accept that the Jews and the Gentiles were separate, and that there was enmity between them, but the...

Why would anyone bother to plant a church in New Jersey when it's such hard work and since he can say, "no one, not one soul, is going to hell on account of any act of commission or omission on my part." So don't you dare complain!

Hello Shawn! You're welcome here. If you like the KJV, you use it and be blessed. Many, many people have been saved by it. But you will find that arguments over KJV-onlyism get nowhere and only cause aggravation. Better to discuss the salvation we all share.:)

Indeed, though that doesn't mean that I have to agree with them. Also, some are easier to love than others. But your point is taken. No. I'm not aware of it. I can only speak with knowledge on the churches in Britain, and I know that Hyper-Calvinism destroyed some churches and enfeebled...

Come on, man! Think! If the elect are going to get saved whatever they do and the reprobate are going to be lost whatever they do, why preach? Why have a church? Why witness? Why pray? Why not sin all the more so that grace may abound> I'd rather be a nosey, busybody Fullerite than an...

Why, if it makes no difference? Amos 6:1-8; Esther 4:13-14. Not enough of it, it seems.

FYI, almost all KJV-only people in Britain are Reformed, and therefore Calvinists. I never normally criticize the KJV, but in your case I will make an exception. Some years ago, there were seven churches where I preached occasionally that used the KJV. I never had any objection to using it if...

Of course! :)

Fuller actually said, according to Michael Haykin, that had the situation continued with the Baptists for much longer, they should have become a very dunghill in society. I was not living at that time (though judging by your avatar, perhaps you were), so I cannot judge the truth of what he...

Your link to 'Elder Joe Holder" proves one thing: Holder has (had?) never read anything by Andrew Fuller. All his criticisms of Fuller are quotations from a chap called George Ella. I have met Ella on several occasions, heard him speak twice and had some sharp discussions with him on line...

"A Thousand" in Scripture" Psalm 50:10. 'For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.' There are more than a thousand hills on earth; do the other ones not belong to God? Psalms 90:4. 'For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and...

It is also all too easy to read the interpretations of Don Carson into the text of Scripture and to transfer the authority of Scripture onto him, investing him with a false, even idolatrous, degree of certainty. Proverbs 11:14 applies.
