The Old Covenant Law Paul referred to as a “pedagogue” (παιδαγωγὸς) that leads to Christ. What an important word – yet difficult to precisely translate. The first part of the word is “child”. And that is what the Old Covenant era was, Israel’s childhood. And the New Covenant was, to borrow a...

Yes, Abraham, was the father of His chosen people. He is also the "father of many nations". We are grafted into these promises. If you are Christian then you are also one of His chosen people.

Your two sentences contradict each other. Have you not read in Ephesians that the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles has been taken down?

After the final and supreme sacrifice of the Son there was no longer any validity in further sacrifices or, for that matter, any other obligation under the Old Covenant. Yes, many Jews continued observing rites, feasts and sacrifices of the Old Covenant, but mostly from ignorance or obstinence...

This passage is a problem for teachers of Covenant Eschatology (CE), seeing that the Feast days are a part of the Law. So are all the jots and tittles. This would mean that all Jews were obligated to obey all of it. Yet that would mean that grace was unavailable. Because Law and Grace are...

"Threatened"? You make it sound like our response is just emotional. Cheap shot. Believe me, I know from personal interactions that there are probably many fellow Preterists that have not been to the Cross. And it shows by their teaching. I write much in Preterist groups trying to clean this...

The Old Covenant was indeed fading away, but centuries before Gospel times. And how did the Old Covenant fade away? It faded in glory with every prophetical announcement and typological foreshadowing of the coming New Covenant. An incremental Ichabod. 4. The Old Covenant – including the Feasts...

It is true that the practicing of the Old Covenant Law continued for four more decades after the Cross. But from that time onward it was only a lethal witness, “the letter that kills“, 2 Cor. 3:6, against those who insisted on continuing in it. It had no validity or merit in the eyes of God...

In these next few articles the focus will not be strictly on the Feasts but on the foundations that show why they were no longer necessary in those four post-Calvary decades...

This is a detailed look at the Lev. 23 Feasts, specifically their relation to the New Covenant. As part of this study it is helpful to also consider the connected topics of the respective priesthoods, Old and New Covenant, and the limitations of the one and superiority of the other...

I hardly know where to begin. What I wrote was not a hatchet job. In fact, I just skimmed the surface. If you are really okay with the teaching of Hugh Ross then either you do not know your Bible or - and I really prefer this - you do not know what Ross's teachings really are. Do you see no...

I think you are missing my point. I am not denying them as holy convocations. All I am saying is that we should not refer to some of these as "feasts" if the Bible does not. The Bible refers to only three feasts, not seven.

I can't see how we can call holy convocations as feast days, especially given the description of these convocations and feasts. I used to believe that there were seven Levitical feasts, but could only find three mentioned as such. A quick search will reveal only the three mentioned above...

In ascertaining Biblical doctrine we ought to go from solid truth to peripheral possibilities. Our emphases ought to match the emphases of the New Covenant, not the Old. Also, the greater light of the New Testament should be applied to the Old, not the other way around...

It is tragic if any of his converts if they have seen God in the stars but have never been to the Cross. The Cross is what humbles us because it is the foolishness of the message that kills us. The Cross shows the extremes that God endured to rescue us from sin. “I am the Way and the Truth and...
