I've not made one ad homenim remark to you. I'm not backtracking. I"m comparing the route that PDism is taking. With its already/not yet view of the kingdom, same as Covenant Premill, it is getting closer to Amill, which speaks of the already/not yet in terms of here but more to come at the...

Covenant Premill is not inches away from Amill? We'll have to agree to disagree then. B/c I made the transition from Classical Dispie to Amill. I know the incline of the slope. It is also a slippery turrain as well. And people on this thread are only protesting b/c you are not reading their...

Did you read what I posted? I said that it was cousins w/ Covenant or Historic Premillism. PREMILLism! There are so many similar views arrived at by similar arguments that they are nearly identical.

PDism is basically "kissing cousins" w/ Covenantal Premillism. And that is just inches away from full blown amillennialism (once they work out their metanarrative biblical theology). I honestly think there is some who teach at DTS who are PD so they can keep their job. Were it not for that...

Issues: Who is quoting the church fathers (e.g. Eusebius)? Are they considered accurate historians? Are they quoting the church fathers or paraphrasing? Are the church fathers themselves quoting or paraphrasing the text? If they are quoting, are they doing it from memory or are they looking...

Reviewed or collated?

Same tip I have given you in the past: provide an amazon link so we can check it out. This time, you didn't even give the title. You can't review a book when you don't identify what it is!

Your view assumes that this story was original to John's account. Most textual scholars do not. So you are basing a lot of your argument on a questionable passage.

Evan... I don't envy your situation. When spouses are close theologically, but differ on certain issues conflicting w/ where they go to church... that just sucks. My parents are in a similar boat, more over style than doctrine. I wish there was a silver bullet to fix the problem. But prayer...

I find it interesting that the morality of the style often depends on the society or culture around it. For example, those hymns that came straight out of bars or pubs were probably immoral for some. Now, they are beloved and cherished. Same is true for any other style. If we are created...

What is cheaper than free??? If you want, I'll email them to you (assuming I can). Or you can go here: http://www.desiringgod.org/sermons/by-series/romans-the-greatest-letter-ever-written and listen/watch/read them yourself. Or, you can research how to make your own digital version for free...

I get it, but those books have tremendous downfalls pedagogically and as far as NT theology is concerned. Not a fan of them at all.

Just to clarify, the period of time may or may not be long, and it is after 1:1 when creation happened. Second, Moses was acquainted w/ ancient mythic creation accounts which was all about chaos being overcome and order established. That is what Gen. 1:2ff is all about. The "land" was a waste...

I prefer to read his sermons b/c it is so much faster. That is what the desiring God website is all about. I found his Romans series chs. 1-8 epub version online for free. I then copied all of his sermons from 9-16, converted into epub, and put it on my nook. Nearly 2,000 pages of...

Those aren't bad, per se. But they were meant for undergrad OT/NT intros. Kohstenberger and company recently finished their NT intro (seminary level and good). Then they came out with a condensed version. I haven't read it, but I like that idea. Cradle Cross Crown...

For that matter, have her read Piper's sermons.

First, it is an extremely literal reading of Genesis. Moreso than the YEC view. Second, there is no gap. He is just saying that all of creation was done in 1:1. After all, Moses would be entrenched in creation mythology of chaos to order being the theme of creation accounts. Then vv. 2 and...

Thus I said the first person plural "we". Calvie or Armie; Dispie or CTer (or whatever else there is); fundie or lib. And everything in between as well.

This goes both ways, as you well know. Many people here are so dogmatic in their assertions, that they write the opposing view off or dismiss a person's reason as if it were as easy as cutting butter with a hot knife. It happens on both sides. We all need to be careful how we present our views.

I concur. I have bought my wife books... doesn't read them. And they are the genre she likes. She buys me books.... I don't read them, she doesn't know what I will read and what I will only use as reference. When it comes to books, I want to buy it myself or someone I trust.
