I was talking to my buddy yesterday in West Virginia, we served together 4 years active duty in the 82nd and in the same company. His son is now a captain in the 82nd and he told me he is in the deployment.

Gen. Keane said that Russia is helping Iran with drone technology, and couldn't talk about what will be done on that. Right now he said the US fighter pilots were taking down the drones.

I like Gen. Jack Keane's take on anything military. He's the chairman of the institute for the study of war. He said if they keep at it as is it will take 3 more weeks and Iran is completely done, unless they surrender before then. Ground troops won't be necessary if their new leadership will...

That's a tough way to lay it out with 2 types of believes. There are some good arguments for both sides. If it's true faith in Christ it only takes a faith the size of a grain of mustard seed. Some will have a stronger faith than others and some will produce fruit 30, 60, and 90, but they are...

Ok, I can do that. Dispensationalism is not that difficult to understand once you understand the main focus is on a literal interpretation of the Scripture, even through Revelation with it's many symbols. It's starts getting tough to understand with all the results of the literal translation as...

Yes, through speaking with Preterists years ago is how I learned of the Covenant Lawsuit theory.

It would help me to know if this framework you are presenting is in the Preterist view? That way I will know where we're going.

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.
