    Dispensationalists: Why is This Version of Israel THE One of Prophecy?

    You should re-read what I wrote. I never said that we were in the same camp. I'm saying that one of your dispie friends was doing what you accuse us of doing -- interpreting the OT based on NT revelation. I.e. he was talking about a delay of the last heptad in Daniel 9. But that is only...

    I didn't say he was moving toward Amillism... but I did agree that he is moving toward Covenant Premillism. OR proved that in the post above. Game set match.

    Have you read much of Bock on the issue??? I'd say the assessment you quoted was spot on.

    Dispensationalists: Why is This Version of Israel THE One of Prophecy?

    You have it backwards my friend. I was pointing out a dispo doing what you accuse us of. Plus, I interpret the NT based on the OT. I see the NT as continuing and fulfilling and finishing the redemptive story of the OT. Jesus' ministry finds an obvious continuity w/ Israel's mission and the...

    Dispensationalists: Why is This Version of Israel THE One of Prophecy?

    First, I think the gospel accounts (especially John) point out that the resurrection of Jesus is the beginning of the new creation. Regeneration corresponds to that. So in a way not understood in the OT (when is a prophecy ever understood properly then?), the fulfillment of Eze. finds its...

    So according to your standards, there is not one non-dispo that can legitimately or altruistically have anything of substance against dispyism. Really? I fall into #1 except I have not misrepresented dispyism at all. I showed places where Scofield and other dispos both claim and have to...

    Hit a nerve... calm down. No need for such a negative attitude. And I did point out a reference where Scofield refers to multiple resurrections for the righteous, and noted a deficiency in his view that you failed to address. This is not to mention that your modern academic dispo will...

    covenantal or dispensational

    It seems Scofield held a view that not many of the revised Dispos believe. However, his note at 1 Cor. 15:52 does indicate that even in the resurrection of the righteous, the "1" resurrection is actually split up at the rapture and then for the trib martyrs at the end of the trib. One thing he...

    BTW... are you referring to the old or new scofield notes?

    So pray tell when do you and Scofield believe the resurrection of the righteous to take place considering you do believe in a rapture, tribulation, and mil kingdom???

    covenantal or dispensational

    So you don't believe in a resurrection at the rapture, then at the 2nd coming, then at the end of the millennial kingdom??? That would be the idea of numerous resurrections.

    Dont forget two peoples of God... w/ some two new covenants... this could go on for a while :D

    Historical theology or Biblical theology?

    I was thinking the same thing... that and a misunderstanding of the discipline of biblical theology. Not to mention that this person is more focused on interpreting the event rather than the text. A (the?) prominent question should be, "What did John mean for his context or audience to...

    Rate theological libraries

    I've heard nothing but good things about DTS's library. As far as conservative evangelical seminary schools go, it probably has one of the best (from what I keep hearing; even from my SEBTS profs).

    Rate theological libraries

    So I have experience with 3 libraries. Piedmont International University, Liberty University, and SEBTS. SEBTS by far is the best, although their stairwell has a funny smell and the carpet needs to be replaced. But they have a good collection and selection. They 99% of the time have what I...

    Seeking help from M Div graduates and experienced pastors

    Can you not role those credits right into the MDiv??? Get the MA and move right into the MDiv. Why not get both?

    Kingdom of Heaven vs. Kingdom of God

    Minor disputation or nuance: The Kingdom of God/heaven is best understood as a rule rather than a realm. So the terms (however we translate whether "kingdom" or "reign" or "rulership") refer to the same thing more so than the same place. Also, I think the emphasis of the kingdom of heaven...

    Kingdom of Heaven vs. Kingdom of God

    They are the same thing: They were used interchangeably between various Gospel accounts. I.e. one account records Jesus saying the K of God, Matthew recorded K of Heaven (maybe a Hebraism). They were used interchangeably within Matthew 19:23-24 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I...

    Online Seminaries

    I think you make a great point so long as it is implemented. If online education was coupled with a dual mentorship program with a local pastor of the student, that would greatly increase the education. My best education was my first 3 years in the ministry. If this was done (and enforced)...
