John Lightfoot (1602-1675) served on the Committee of the Westminster Confession (1643-1644). He is considered one of the more brilliant and original Reformed thinkers and Exegetes of his time. Certainly his work on the Talmud was a forerunner for what is now common in historical, exegetical studies (Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud [...]
by Gary DeMar It’s good to see that someone agrees with me that Gog in Ezekiel 38 and 39 is not Russia: “Gog is not a present or future leader from Russia,” writes Joel Richardson author of The Islamic Antichrist . “Russia is not spoken of in biblical prophecy. Despite all of the hype and [...]
What does a Hyper Preterist do with Deuteronmy 32:35, “To be My vengeance and recompense, At the time that their foot falters. Yea, their day of disaster is near, And destiny rushes upon them.” The “day of disaster is near (enggus, Greek), and rushes upon them.” Now, every pret knows the context of Dt. 32: [...]
One of the highlights for me in the recent McDurmon/Preston debate was when Joel opened up his affirmation of a future physical resurrection with an argument from Exodus 3; which is where Jesus
While waiting for my trailer to get loaded at the plant, I decided to do some Googling. I was curious to see if there were any more theologians who argue for the necessity of physical resurrection in order to inherit the covenantal promise of land; as I have argued in Resurrection or Immorality of the [...]
A year ago this month, i posted an article entitled Resurrection or Immortality of the Soul? In it, i expressed how baffled i was that Jesus would appeal to Exodus 3 as a proof text for resurrection of
Listen to our High Priest, Yeshua: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the [...]
Sam shared a link to our recent podcast on a hyperpreterist facebook page, and here is one of the replies: I listen to the pod cast,i wonder if Sam or Jason has created a anti 101 times statement list,where you refute ANY of the 101 times statements,and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt ANY of [...]
Pluralism” as defined by Merriam-Webster’s means, “a theory that there are more than one or more than two kinds of ultimate reality”. D. A. Carson in his award winning book “The Gagging of God” points out the impact of “pluralism” when it comes to the interpretation of Scripture. Commenting on the conclusions of a “pluralist” when it comes to interpreting text Dr. Carson explains, “Culler intend
I still do a daily check at Full Preterist websites, and on Facebook (where, perhaps, most are now frequently popping up). One of the things that I have noticed, however, is that there is increasing hostility for the institutionalized church. Having left Hyper Preterism, and becoming a member of a local church, I can say that [...]
That activity notifier in the upper right-hand corner of Facebook can be a blessing and a curse. haha. I don’t randomly visit “Full Preterist” pages on FB anymore and so the only way i know if a battle involving my name is going on (which seems to be common nowadays) is if a friend comments [...]
While I was at work the other night, a thought came to my mind. I have been struggling with how stupid Eve and Adam were to fall for such an obvious contradiction to what God had said. “Don’t eat of this tree. You will surely die.” The serpent comes along and says, “you won’t die.” And [...]
I understand Mr. Michael Bennett is attempting to, in a serious manner, get some questions answered. We will attempt to provide answers to Mr. Bennett’s questions though I believe the answers have already been provided. Mr. Bennett asks, - Was Jesus sub-human for 3 days? No, Christ Jesus was a dead human for three days, (1 [...]
Samuel Frost and the Westminster Confession By Dr. Kenneth Gary Talbot I have known Samuel Frost for over 10 years. We are friends and we do disagree on many theological issues. I am Reformed and he is not. I am covenantal and he is not. However, we are agreed on Apologetics. I was a student [...]
Recently, Sharon Nichols, a former Hyper Preterist, brought up the issue of the “Great Commission”. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you [...]
