Dispensationalism • Calvinism • Presuppositionalism
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.
Continue reading “Has Covenant Theology Been Left-Behind?”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.

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.
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.
I am so ecstatic that anyone would take 50 minutes of their lives to respond to me about an article that I posted here on this website. So, I am looking forward to responding to Charles Cooper, a Pre-wrath advocate, on his comments of my article, entitled: An Exegetical Analysis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17. If you would like to watch his video critiquing me please click here.

The dating of the book of Revelation is often a point of contention within evangelical Christian circles. When one begins to enter the arena of eschatology (study of end-times) they are often faced with the question surrounding the dating of this book. In my many years of study, I have found the only viable position to stand on, is that of the Domitianic Dating.

Cory Marsh, Associate Professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary is being highlighted on our featured blog today.
Cory has graciously allowed me to share his article titled: “Kingdom Hermeneutic and the Apocalpyse – A Promotion of a Consistent Literal Methodology.” which was posted in the Baptist Bulletin. Cory shared this article in a Facebook group that we both belong to and said the following regarding the article:
“It was nice to see Baptist Bulletin recognize some value in this article I wrote several years ago on the importance of a consistent hermeneutic for the Book of Revelation, and the dispensationalism to which such an approach inevitably leads. They were kind enough to secure the rights and re-publish it at a more accessible level. It’s attached for those who are interested.“
My hope is to help others see the importance, like Cory, of a consistent literal methodology when it comes to interpreting all of Scripture.
Soli Deo Gloria
Abstract: How can the Scriptures stand as the exclusive authority for arriving at a God-given hermeneutic? The Scriptures themselves possess an exclusive hermeneutic that is the only hermeneutic authorized by God for interpreting and preaching the Scriptures themselves—‘the presuppositional hermeneutic.’

My dear brother and fellow Dispensationalist Jim McClarty is being featured today in his article “Is the Church Israel.”
Jim and I connected through a Facebook group called: “Calvinist Dispensationalists, Unite.” Jim and I began crossing paths more and more as we began tackling some of the more modern criticisms of Dispensationalism coming from the likes of Apologia.
Jim is an excellent source and I pray that this article that he has shared with me for your benefit will help you understand what makes Dispensationalism stand alone from other positions. Is the Church Israel? The answer is no!
