Nephilim: What to Consider

Interesting Alert sent out tonight from the Be Alert blog of Moriel Ministries -”Nephilim: What to Consider”
A few years ago myself and a few others got into a discussion at a board on the subject of the Nephilim: like one of those never-ending topics it went on for 12-13 pages if I recall. At the [...]

Jesus, the True Temple

Interesting teaching at Riddleblog; Jesus, the True Temple
Its no secret to people who know me that I wrestle with the teachings about a coming re-built temple during a 7 year tribulation.
*****
When Jesus declared of himself, “I tell you, something greater than the temple is here,” (Matthew 12:6) and when he told a Samaritan woman [...]

Advanced Eschatology

A recommendation and link can be found at Orange Mailman’s blog: Advanced Eschatology.
Brian Simmons at Advanced Eschatology is currently putting out a very nice series entitled “Reformed Chiliasm”.  He just posted number 18.  Each post is quite lengthy but well worth it.  He quotes profusely from the church fathers which is a welcome sight for [...]

The Children of Palestine and Israel are Cannon Fodder

If you’re like me, you’re interested in what the world, secular and Christian, thinks about the Church in the United States. I actually subscribe to a few news feeds, just to get an idea of how we’re perceived. In earlier posts I’ve expressed my disdain at the fact that the world (and even many of [...]

The Threat of Christian Zionism, Politics, and John Hagee (2)

continued from part (1)
What Are the Potential Results of Christian Zionism?
In light of what has previously been said, it should be apparent that Christian Zionism has the potential to shape the beliefs and practices of its adherents in a great many arenas. Some of these will now be designated more clearly:

The Threat of Christian Zionism, Politics, and John Hagee (1)

A couple weeks back I posted the link to this in “The-Ologys”, but after re-reading it tonight decided to post it in (2) parts on the front page: I believe its an important article and message.
From Monergism: The Threat of Christian Zionism by Nathan Pitchford
*****
If the phenomenal success of the bestselling Left Behind series indicates [...]

Brian McLaren to speak at World Future Society

Just a thought, but do these people who claim to be Christians ever really read the bible?
McLaren says that there needs to be a “rethinking” about eschatology, eradicating the belief about a Second Coming of Christ that is “characterized by violence, killing, domination, and eternal torture” (p. 144). He proposes an alternative Jesus of a [...]

The “Abomilation of Decimation”

I loved this, and hope Orange doesn’t mind me posting it all here:
From OrangeMailman’s blog:

No, the title is not a typo. Kathy Hall (aka Overcomer) has a cute post that you can read about here. But looking past the cuteness in interacting with her granddaughter about the end times, she brings [...]

The Dark Side of Jealousy

Good article at Herescope, The Dark Side of Jealousy
Hope I’m wrong, but, I’m looking for the day to come when these so-called ‘Prophets’ who espouse the false doctrine of Dominionism join ranks with these other false teachers of Eschatology, who believe they are to ‘help’ the Lord along, in the fulfilling of Prophecy. Lord help [...]

Spiritual Authority: The Word and the Testimony

by A.W. Tozer, 1950
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies … 2 Pet. 2:1
Whatever it may be in our Christian experience that originates outside of Scriptures should, for that very reason, be suspect [...]

Analyzing Scofield

This is a very interesting little booklet. I had been doing a search on something not at all related, when coming across it: Gospel Truth; Analyzing Scofield. I refer to it as a ‘booklet’ because its all on one page. There is another post I put up on the Scofield Bible some months ago, but [...]

Does the Church Replace Israel?

Well I finally kicked the headache studying Theology seems to bring about after awhile: I love the studies but need to take breaks after a period, if for no other reasons then eye-strain and information ‘over-load’. Anyway, so I’ve been digging back into reading a few essays plus some studying on-line this week, always with [...]

Dr. Kim Riddlebarger on Eschatology

Posted in the ‘The Ologys’ are links to a (2) part interview with Kim Riddlebarger which I found interesting. Today I came across another interview in (3) parts, at The A-Team Blog: Part one, Part two:
I want to post part (3) because he answers a few questions I’ve had on [...]

Paul Washer Sermon Jam 3 - The Reality of Judgment

Paul Washer talking about judgment and that it will take place and we will all be tried & held accountable for every word, thought & deed. Its a somber message, but one we need to keep in mind.

PreWrath Spouse Support Group

  Orangemailman gets the prize for one of the funniest posts I’ve read in a while.
PreWrath Spouse Support Group.
Is your spouse spending too much time reading prophecy books? Do you try to get their attention only to be told, “I’m busy debunking Tim LaHaye right now.” If you have unsuccessfully tried to wrestle your husband [...]

The Bible and End Times

After one of our friends here commented on the fact that they knew very little on any other form of eschatology except for dispensationalism, I thought to post a few articles/teachings once in awhile on not only other forms of eschatological beliefs, but also a few articles which compare one or more to  others.
Understand, its [...]

Preface to the book: Left Behind Answered Verse By Verse

This is the preface to ‘Left Behind — Answered Verse by Verse,’ written by David A. Reed.
From apologeticsindex:
Shortly after putting faith in Jesus Christ, I began attending evangelical Christian churches — Baptist and Congregationalist — and that is where I first heard an exposition of the ‘left behind’ teaching.
Of course, the blockbuster novel by [...]

Left Behind — Answered Verse by Verse

From apologeticsindex.
‘Left Behind‘ — a series of books billed as ‘evangelical Christian fiction’ written by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye — has been a huge publishing success. With the final book published in April, 2007, sales have reportedly totaled 65 million copies.
The series, which started in 1995 with the first novel, includes 16 titles in [...]

Versions of Dispensationalism

Good, informative article from Life In Christ blog, Versions of Dispensationalism
By the questions I’ve received on the topic of dispensationalism, a lot of believers do not either know or understand that there is more then one version of this teaching today…This small article breaks the different versions down, at least how the author  perceives them, [...]
