A Response to Brian McLaren’s Pacifist god

Refuting Steve Wohlberg on His Replacement Theology
On his radio program Line of Fire, Michael Brown debated Steve Wohlberg on the meaning of Israel in the New Testament. Does it refer to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or does it refer to a spiritual entity [the church] only? This is one of the best debates I have ever heard […]
Another Reason to Reject Steven Anderson’s Material: He is a Date-Setter
What part of Matthew 24:36 do date-setters not understand? “But as for that day and hour no one knows it—not even the angels in heaven–except the Father alone.” Recently, I posted why everyone should stay far away from Steven Anderson’s material. Here is another good reason. Anderson justifies a date-setting schema saying: “Have I not […]
Randal Rauser Asserts Premillennialism is Pessimistic, Therefore, it is Against Social Justice and the Environment
Premillennialism is often derided for teaching a “pessimistic” eschatology (as if that makes it right or wrong). Opponents claim that premillennialism by virtue of its tenets cannot be concerned with social justice, the environment, even proclaiming the gospel to the ends of the world, blah, blah, blah. This is a cliché that folks like Randal […]
Avoiding Steven Anderson’s Material – A Plea For Discernment
I am not going to mince words in this post. Promoting Anderson’s material exposes your Christian friends to his cultish thinking and behavior—which brings disrepute to the name of Christ (see below for documentation). On prophecy, Steven Anderson in the past has wrongly appropriated the label “prewrath.” He is so far off base to be […]
“Critique of the Pre-Wrath Rapture View” by John Ankerberg
http://www.jashow.org/resources/series-topics/prophecy/critique-of-the-pre-wrath-rapture-view.html John Ankerberg has a video he is selling that you can find in the link above. But it contains no description of the video, such as who is doing the critiquing and what issues were covered. I am assuming it was Ankerberg himself. And I am certainly not going to pay the exorbitant price […]
Matthew 24:37–41 “One Will Be Taken And One Left”
(37) For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (38) For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, (39) and they were unaware until the flood came and […]
A Response to the Preterist Interpretation of “This Generation” in Matthew 24:34
“Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” —Matt 24:34 This is the go-to proof text for preterists. It is the holy grail of preterism. It is the first and last thing that comes out of their mouths when you talk to them about the Olivet […]
A Response to David Cloud’s Misrepresentation of the Prewrath Viewpoint
David Cloud in a Q&A writes: What about the pre-wrath position that says believers will not be raptured until part way through the Tribulation? The “pre-wrath” doctrine says that the Rapture occurs mid-way between Daniel’s 70th Week. It is based on the view that the “church” is to be kept from God’s wrath and the […]
Debate: Marvin Rosenthal (Prewrath) vs Dave Hunt (Pre-trib)
I am going to briefly comment on this radio debate between Marvin Rosenthal and Dave Hunt. I would have preferred this to be a formal radio debate with rebuttals and cross-examination and the moderator enforcing time limits. Instead it was a back and forth debate. But you take what you can when you have an […]
