That is hilarious.

I think it is a two way street on that church registry. Churches that want to be on there agree w/ Dever. Thus they are reformed. I wonder though if it is a requirement or just a natural result.

;) maybe :D

No need for a literal 1,000 years then. Like the rest of the Apocalypse, that is one picture of victory... the victory of Jesus on the cross over Satan. The entire book is replete w/ figures of victory. I just preached a sermon on victory in Revelation. Satan bound is a picture of defeat...

I appreciate this attitude. That is a good one to be dogmatic on.

This is pretty good for me: 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 1Co 15:24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father...

Am I already on ignore? You've responded to everyone else but me. Makes me sad. :'-( :teardrop:

I'd like to hear a quote as well. That is a bold accusation. Knowing the 9 marks of a healthy church, my guess is that he is saying in the context of solid "biblical theology" (not in the discipline sense but a theology that coheres w/ the Bible) is one of the marks of a healthy church. He...

So you know about 2 temples... but scripture pictures many more before and after Solomon's. You would do well to study them. The temple goes through a metamorphosis (as should your theology I fear).

This is getting more comical. "buster"? I'm curious... how do you make your threat stick in an open forum? Love of the brethren, though... good on ya.

If he didn't correct it, I was gonna! Our last meeting, we had 92% of our membership present! For those who deal w/ quorum, you know that is almost nearly a miraculous sign gift present in the church ;). Great meeting!

Will a dispensationalist please rebuke this interpretation? It would be better if it came from you... who claim to interpret literally... where the "come up hither" was said to an individual... not a community of believers.

Haha... made me laugh. :laugh:

I think you should do a total Scripture study of the temple starting in the Garden, to Mt. Sinaii, the tabernacle, Solomon's temple, God leaving the temple in Ezekiel, 2nd temple, Jesus as the new temple, the church as the temple, and New Jerusalem being a garden/city/temple yet not having a temple.

You are so close to Amilism... just jump in... the water is FINE! Once you get rid of the tribulation, the next and last step is to throw out the millenium. Then you have Jesus returning and eternity. Hmmm... how long will it take considering 7 years have already been removed from your...

Sounds like 2 separate threads.

Yeah... who needs continuity anyways? I always thought it was overrated.

You might check this one out... it kind of hits on multiple issues w/ the Gospel at its core. And Goldsworthy is always good: Gospel-Centered Hermeneutics. Here is his classic Trilogy.

I am empathizing w/ evangelist####. You guys keep saying the same stuff over and over again when you know his intent. Some of you who speak of authorial intent and literal interpretation... shameful. The man is trying to get a discussion going, and it turns into a Pharisaic debate. I haven't...

Completely agree w/ your point on preachers preaching, especially God's design. Just to clarify: "foolishness of preaching" is a misunderstanding of Paul's words in 1 Cor. 1:21. It is not the act that is foolishness but the message behind it. Check out the grammar... and the context... and...
