John R. Rice and the KJV

[JesusFan]

4 point Calvinists, Dispensational and free grace theology

Correct, as I meant 4 point Calvinists, so how can 4 pointers hold to free will grace view then?

Depends on which one of the 5 they do not agree!

Grace, as it is presented to us in the scriptures, especially after the cross of Christ and his resurrection, can be seen with the human eye. Dispensational approach to the scriptures is a godly method to open our eyes so we may see.

Think it always the one of limited vrs unlimited atonement

So would be Covenant Theology

The other thread was closed where this was mentioned.

John R. Rice was not KJV-Only. He did use the old ASV for study, but he always preached from the KJV. Sometimes he would refer to the Greek, Hebrew, or ASV in his writings.

He thought Peter Ruckman was a "nut" (his word), and said as much in his book, I Am a Fundamentalist. (See the chapter, "...And Not a Nut." That's all I have time to post right now. My sister is visiting, and my wife is at my office door to take me home.

In case anyone doubts my authority to write about Rice, I am his grandson, and wrote the definitive biography of him.

Did find also a quote by him regarding the Nasv of the NT, as he commended it not to replace the Kjv, but as a worthwhile addition to use for personal and biblcal studies

God made multiple covenants.

we must be careful

However. from adam until the end of time. Only one covenant has a bearing on ones salvation.

Its the New Covenant that saved sinners in either Old or New Testaments

Being Hebrews 8:8-12, per Jeremiah 31:31-34. 1 John 5:1.

The new covenant is really the covenant of abraham. An eternal covenant

Got it. Thank you. Good research.

 

[John of Japan]

So would be Covenant Theology

Let me see. A theology based not on the covenants directly taught in Scripture, but on two or three (depending on the writer) covenants invented by the theologians with no biblical bases? Not a help to godliness if it doesn't come from Scripture but from the mind of the theologians.

But I'm going to stop here. We are once again straying from the OP.

Could be that the New Covenant is that Covenant enlarged and expanded to include now both Jews and Gentiles in it

 

[JesusFan]

Got it. Thank you. Good research.

based upon that, he would have no doubt praised also the NKJV

But never preached from it.

Yes, as he seemed to be KJVO for preaching

 

[John of Japan]

I never heard it put that way before.

 

[Salty]

Yes, as he seemed to be KJVO for preaching

or was he KJ P (Preference) or T (Tradition)
KJO is more of the opinion is the KJ is the ONLY acceptable (or even perfect) version
