If they drifted off into that loss of memory in faith they take Christ with them. They have eternal security through that faith they no longer remember.

It's difficult to explain, but in the Covenant Lawsuit theory the judgments taking place in Rev. are seen as court proceedings. It's the indictment of broken covenants against God rather than the way we see a continuation of events in order in real time.

The time as in continuation in chronological order is not recognized. The events that take place are judgments as in a court of law waged against Israel.

Yes, it is a definite continuation.

Yes, dispensationalism recognizes the GWTJ. But it doesn't recognize it by broken covenants as Covenant Theology. Dispensations follows the 7 dispensations in history according to how God dealt with Israel and the Gentiles in different ways. During the GT God is dealing with the Gentile...

But it's view through the lens of Covenant Theology.

When the mouth no longer sounds like a Christian anymore the believer still believes but is in the state of backsliding. Salvation is not lost, this is when you're going to get a spanking from your Father, as the Scripture warns us. The loss of salvation is an act of no longer believing in...

Yes, I agree! Our minds are in totally different places, comunication is virtually imposible for us.

The whole concept of his theory is that of a courtroom trial. There is no time taking place in revelation as we see it, it's all the action of the court through God, the prophets and broken covenants. It's all a legal act rather than a timeline. It's a completely different concept of the...

Another thing I was thinking about last night on the way Dr. Tomlinson presented a trial as in a court atmosphere, and these things already have taken place, I have heard the Preterists use this theory to support their case in what is called the covenant lawsuit theory. I can't remember if...

Nope, my friend, we will disagree all the way through this. I've never heard of Dr. Tomlinson until I read the OP, but he's not the only one who teaches this. I've heard it many times in the past, it's the covenant lawsuit theory based on the absolute sovereignty of God. This is the approach...

It's getting interesting in the Middle East, some reports are saying up to 3000 from the 82nd combat battalion are being sent. It's going to get serious if they turn those boys loose, they don't play games.

The dead giveaway is the courtroom model of interpretation. That is the Reformed approach to Revelation.

So then I was correct the first time, you're addressing the Reformed. It's impossible for this to be anything other than Reformed conclusion.

That's not an explanation of how that relationship works. How can 3 distinct persons be One God? It can't be explained.

What I would explain in the dispensational view is is that Revelation is the fulfillment of the OT prophesies. It's a sister volume to Daniel and the visions and dreams of Daniel are the same as John discusses in more detail. The vision and dreams of Daniel concern the Daniel's people, the...

There are so many views on this it's unreal, but I can see some see some common ground in his view with dispensations. What John is seeing taking place in heaven is in the spiritual realm, it's a view into the spirit world before it takes place on earth with the overlaps that I think you refer...

While recognizing the authorship of the New Testament Scripture, the Jews don't believe they need a Saviour. They don't recognize being saved or the born-again experience as we Christians do. They believe they are God's elect by being born under covenant with their father Abraham and keeping the...

Now canadyjd you may or may not be interested in the approach to Revelation from the dispensation veiw. You may be just addressing the fellow Reformed. But if you want the dispensation view of Revelation, mainly it's approach to Revelation, I can explain that for you.

This is the Reformed approach to Revelation and I would think Dr. Tomlinson is a Calvinist by definition. The view is a different hermeneutics and does not recognize the separation of Israel and the Church. So the dispensations will totally disagree with this approach. But if you're...
