I have received requests from people who would love to see a debate take place between myself and pretribulational teacher and author Dr. Mark Hitchcock. Recently, Eschatos Ministries invited Dr. Hitchcock for a Prewrath vs. Pretrib debate on the question whether the Antichrist will arrive before the rapture. He has declined. He cited that he […]

A Helpful Book Review of Antichrist Before the Day of the Lord
I want to thank Nick Norelli for taking the time to write a review of my book. http://rdtwot.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/antichrist-before-the-day-of-the-lord-what-every-christian-needs-to-know-about-the-return-of-christ/ Check out other reviews he has written at his website.

The Noah Movie is Blasphemy…

In this movie he creates God (actually a non-God) into his own atheist-pagan image, leaving the word “God” out of the movie and […]
What Does the “Gap Theory” and Pretribulationism Have in Common?
I want to illustrate the inconsistent hermeneutic of many pretribulationists. Pretribulationists often pride themselves on having a consistent, sound, and valid hermeneutic; that is, interpreting Scripture in its “natural, normal, customary sense” (which begs the question, because everyone wants to claim this high-road hermeneutic, as if it is that simple).
