Hey Iconoclast. Here's what I found: Chafer couldn't have said it better: "There was, however, a real sense in which the kingdom of God was to be, as it is now, in the hearts of individual believers; but the direct statement of Christ is to the effect that the kingdom was then, in the Person...

What is being said in Romans 15, which you quoted, is that Christ will reign over the Gentiles in the millennium. These Gentiles (spoken of in Romans 15:9-12) shouldn't be confused with the predominantly Gentile Church. There are three persons in humanity in the program of God: the Gentiles...

Yes, and I hope to persuade you to come back to the dark side, mwahaha :). There is a good reason that I hold to my view. It concerns the Abrahamic, Palestinian and Davidic covenants. Maybe you'll reply to my next section below. :) Would you accept the position that the Abrahamic, Palestinian...

Hello again Iconoclast :) If you mean to say that Matt. 24:14 provides more incentive for the postmillennialist than to the premillennialist to go out into the world and preach that Christ has risen, then I would say that the premillennial position holds no more or less than the...

I just read something from Lewis Chafer on the same passage. Let me see if I can find it. Why would you say that? Again, lemme find that Lewis Chafer content. :-P Can you give examples? I am dispensational, and I see that the Church and Israel are distinct, but I would say that...

I think that sowing the seed is different than watering it (1 Cor. 3:6-8), and I think it's o.k. for women to sow the seed, but not to water it (at least for men, cf. Titus 2:4). 1 Corinthians 3 ESV 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who...

What about Mary? :). Matt. 28 ESV, bold emphasis mine 5But the angel said to the women [Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome, cf. Mark 16:1-7], “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the...

And I mean to distinguish the two wives.

Galatians 6:16 only tells us that Paul wants "peace and mercy" upon the Israel of God.

Iconoclast, It's quite the book. What I feel whenever I read it is that I should have a Bible beside me to check and see if what he is saying can be lined up with all the scriptures. It's that kind of a book. (By the way, just curious; did you read the whole book)? If it's not too much to...

Oh dear :p Take yer time. I'll give you a hint though: Jesus was sent to Israel (Mt. 15:24; Rom. 15:8). Would Luke 12:36 be speaking to Israel and not the Church then? The Trinity already has a wife (Jer. 3:14; Isa. 54:5). The Church is the bride that the Father arranges for His Son (Mt...

What's your take on Psalm 45? Specifically verses 13-14? Also, Luke 12:35-36? Psalm 45 ESV 13​​​​​​​​All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. ​​​ 14​​​​​​​​In many-colored robes she is led to the king, ​​​​​​​with her virgin companions following behind her...

Hello Iconoclast :) I think that we were/are both kind of saying the same thing. I guess my question was or is more so, where does Scripture ever say that Jesus is the true Israel. To say that Jesus is the true Israel implies that there is a false Israel (which I guess is not implausible...

Hey James, speaking of that passage...what do you see the freedom of the captives prophecy in Isaiah 61:1-2 to be referring to? (I thought I'd ask some advice or input from a fellow dispensationalist :p)

Amen Yeshua. :)

The day of the LORD is the day of the LORD's judgment. There has been judgments of the LORD in the past (but has there ever been "the day of the LORD" in the past?). The thing that makes this future day of the LORD so special, is that The Father will give judgment unto the Son (John 5:22...

To answer the question of why Peter chose this section of Joel and said that it was fulfilled, one needs to look no further than verse 4, which tells us that the servants of God were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2 ESV 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in...

Joel says that in the next verse: "Even on the male and female servants ​​​​​​​in those days I will pour out my Spirit​" (Joel 2:29, ESV). Joel distinguishes between all flesh and the servants of God, else he would've just left out the "all flesh" part. Wouldn't "all flesh" mean "all flesh"...

Hey thisnumbersdisconnected. Just so there's no confusion, are you dispensational, pre-mill, pre-trib? It sounds like you are from your other post.

Iconoclast and convicted1, do you believe that the Spirit was poured out on "all flesh"? It sort of sounds like Iconoclast does from his post. Do you agree with him convicted1? Joel 2 ESV 28​​​​​​​​ "And it shall come to pass afterward, ​​​​​​​that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh..."
