Written Debate Challenge – The Reformed Sage
A formal written debate was issued to the Reformed Sage on April 20, @ 7:02PM to discuss concerns he has with dispensational theology.
The Reformed Sage has presently declined this offer being too busy to engage, but this will remain on the website as a standing offer. Here is the challenge: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedSage/posts/1557137484742666?notif_id=1650498460316085¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif
Update 2023-10-05 – The Reformed Sage has blocked me, so no challenge will come about.
‘Israel’ According to Paul
Featured Blog: Selwin Christian
It is often said that if you want to understand a clear distinction in Israel and Church terminology Pauline letters are a wonderful insight, particularly Romans. When I first came across the Covenantal idea of Church and Israel, I was bewildered by the fact that this idea would affect not just new testament reading, but Old testament reading. And I came about reading Romans 11, and that was the final knell to my struggle in understanding this issue. I do not know how any scholar would come to the conclusion that the Church is equal to Israel after reading this chapter. Let me go through short and small interpretive insights that help us to understand this ever-debated issue. Grammatical structure is so clear in this chapter that there is no other way to understand this chapter differently. I will not be going into big commentary since this topic is huge to deal with in the blog. I am considering few linch-pin clauses to latch onto,

I have finally compiled a list of theological books that I would recommend from a variety of sources. Granted, the list needs more work and their are a ton of authors that are missing, but I hope this serves as a baseline to help others study more theological concepts in depth and to look to the best other positions have to offer.

Why In The World Are You Debating RA Fuentes?
Featured Blog – Justin Pierce
Recently, a debate was sparked between Andrew Rappaport of Striving for Eternity and RA Fuentes over whether Calvinism is Useless and Dangerous. My good friend Justin Pierce has asked me to share his write-up of the situation and I hope it will be informative.
Has Covenant Theology Been Left-Behind?
If you’re a Covenant Theologian reading this, I am asking you to stop for a moment and consider what I am about to say. I am not doing this to cause division but to challenge you in love. The article title is a play on what most Dispensationalists are mocked for (i.e. the Left Behind series). I want to throw this back in your court, if you are a Covenantalist, consider if perhaps you are being left behind in the theological discourse.

As more and more Theonomic Postmillennialists keep popping up on social media, I thought it would be a good time to write about the difference between the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ. As a Dispensationalist I believe the difference is incredibly important. If, it can be demonstrated that these are different entities and that the Law of Moses as a package was fulfilled in Christ then it must necessarily be said that the Church cannot be governed in any way by the Law of Moses or Mosaic Covenant. I believe that the Church is still governed by Law, but not the Mosaic Law. I believe the Law of Christ is the governing factor for the Church.

If you’re a Dispensationalist, like me, then I am sure you’re beginning to become all too familiar with common misconceptions/myths leveled against our theology. It seems nowadays that all I do on social media is correct misconceptions about our position.
In this blog article I will attempt to once and for all correct several misconceptions that the opposition makes about our theology.
The Day of the Lord – An Exegetical Analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17
Here is my exegetical analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 which will demonstrate the validity of the Dispensational/Premillennial perspective articulated by Paul.
UPDATE: Please see my revised exegetical analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17, which I go more into depth in some areas, and update (vs.3) to what I believe is a more biblically grounded position. My prayer is that this will be a blessing to you.
