I should add, I only posted about half of this article. I wished to show an important perspective, and thought about some of God's children avoiding churches. I still fear we are just as in the times of the Christ, we still deal with the Pharisees and Sadducees, just under new labels.

By Peridot Gilbert-Reed: Like the Good Samaritan, we’re called to offer a healing balm, not pour salt on their wounds. Pray, believe, and receive—or doubt and do without” was a phrase I often heard in my Christian circle. And although it was not intended to be a harmful adage, it became one...

How I interpret Gal. 6:16 is not based on a theology; be it Covenant, New Covenant or Dispensationalist. I strive to interpret according to the rules of hermeneutics first, and then see how it fits into my theological architecture, as I see the "analogy of faith". My interpretation is as...

I wondered if I am the only one who hates those stupid labels? I don't memorize such nonsense and seldom bother to go look what age group is being mentioned. I did do an AI Search on Brave and the conclusion I received there is: "While opinions on generational labels vary, many critics argue...

Ronald, you are absolutely correct, John Gill is considered to follow Covenant Theology in the classical sense. In my discussion and debates with the Reformed and Presbyterian, there is quite a gap, and in that way it was not in my mind to consider John Gill a Covenant Theologian. For example...

You missed the point, Ronald. John Gill is Premillennial and I am Postmillennial, so some scriptures I do not agree with him on, even though he is my favorite Baptist theologian. My post was meant to demonstrate that the Dispensationalists who try to claim their pre-mil position is...

I'll give a sample of commentary on some verses by John Gill (1697-1771). Gill was a Particular Baptist who held to Historic Premillennial eschatology. This is long before the hairbrained scheme of Dispensational interpretation came about in the latter 1800s. The church has always had the...

It is important to recognize that the word "church" is not a literal translation, it is an ecclesiastical word. and it is upon this ecclesiastical word, that much of dispensationalism exists. God's people in both OT and NT can be referred to as "Israel". The first English Scripture...

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls and security within your towers.'” Psa 122:6-7 NRSVue When this is applied to this day, it refers to the church of Jesus Christ, not the UN created State of Zionist Israel - "Now Hagar is Mount...

They try to frighten us with dire predictions of temperatures in the distant future. What happened to our hurricane prediction so far? https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/5-reasons-behind-the-historic-absence-of-tropical-storms-this-hurricane-season/1688808

If you see something "mean" in what I wrote, I apologize, for that for that was not my intention. But, I do not find "Yeshua" in any English dictionary and my caution flags go up when I see that being used. How does it go, 'a rose by any other name smells as sweet'... Oh, I just see something...

The scriptures that rescued me from dispensationalism I sat under the preaching of dispensationalism for the first 30 years of my life and finally I was brought to see that much of the preaching came out of the footnotes, not the scriptures. If you are brought up on this heresy found in the...

I am an American speaker of English. I use only English in my writings.

How you reply to my post, and then come up with the idea I somehow was writing some like this: "What do you wanna do? Eradicate them..." I do not see how you got that. But I found your reply to much a jumble to even understand you.

I spent the first 30 years of my life in Scofield dispensationalism. One problem that began to appear noticeable to me, was an aversion for the Christian to apply a Psalm to himself for comfort, because it was of course, the Old Testament, Law. Then the extreme distinctions made between the...

In response to the title of the OP, if I were born transgender, what then? Assuming there were no biological issues, I'd hope and pray that my parents or guardian would take me to see an established PH. D. in psychology, and also a well-respected psychiatrist. Possibly a third opinion from an...

EG, a thought: Man was not created "innocent", coming from the hand of the Father who described His creation as good. I am convinced man had to be created "holy", not innocent. He, as created, was fallible not infallible; but he was not in a neutral state of innocence. Paul spoke of the "old...

EG, the way I understand Paul, there are two dispensations in his mind, inspired by the Spirit. There is Pre Law, The Old Covenant of Law, and the New Covenant, the gospel. Now, I believe in a similar way as you, the way God deals with his people over time fall into time periods. So, when I...

Here is more information on these atrocities! Where is our so-called Christian country when our brethren in Nigeria are being slaughtered? https://www.christiantoday.com/article/nearly.17000.christians.killed.in.nigeria.in.last.four.years.report/142110.htm

I too embrace the Active and Passive Obedience of Christ. His life gave us righteousness, His righteousness imputed to the believer. The believer's faith is not his righteousness, Jesus Christ is his righteousness. https://www.monergism.com/topics/justification/activepassive-obedience-christ
