Did Paul Preach the Glory of Christ?

May 14th, 2009 | Eschatology | No Comment  
In the past three kingdom articles, we've demonstrated that not only did Paul preach the kingdom of God as did Christ and John, the Baptizer, but he preached it in the book of Acts. That's not very comforting for the Dispensational view which needs a long delay between announcement of the kingdom by Christ, (Mark. 1:14-15), and fulfillment. So, while they continue to play the guessing game, the rest of us will have to endure the glory of the present kingdom. Glory, oh yes, the glory.  In today's study, we're going to briefly discuss Paul's preaching of the glory of God. ...

Why Did Paul Finish the Kingdom Preaching He Never...

May 12th, 2009 | Eschatology | No Comment  
Did Paul Finish the Kingdom Race? With many people, they have a problem finishing what they start. However, I don’t recall knowing to many people who finish what they don’t start. Why did Paul finish the kingdom preaching he never started? What do I mean? Well, if you have checked out the our most recent posts, you know that we have been tracking Paul’s “kingdom” preaching in Acts. Efforts are underway to undermine the “preaching of the kingdom of God,” by saying that Paul, nor the apostles ever preached the kingdom of God. Did the Apostles Preach the Kingdom of God? In other words, the logic is, if it can be demonstrated by ...

Are Butcherknives the New Hermeneutic of the Gospe...

Daniel I can’t believe what I’m reading! Imagine, Paul did not preach the gospel of the kingdom of God! The book of Acts does not mention the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom? It was only preached from John, the Baptizer until the cross! Reading this is like watching a ghinzu  knife commercial in the hands of a an angry chimpanzee. Are butcher knives the new hermeneutic of the gospel of the kingdom of God? It’s not the first time that we heard someone suggesting that certain parts of the gospel are cut out to appease the whims of those who can’t accept the message as it is. But to argue that ...

One of the most important elements of events is time, i.e. when is that event going to occur. Everything in life is an event in that everything occurs or exists in time. What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of the Church? One of the most important elements of the event, —time. Charting the End Times, a very graphically pleasing book of charts on eschatology authored by Tim Lahaye and Thomas Ice, devotes a chapter on the Rapture. It is there purpose to “chart” the time of the end, i.e. when the last days events will occur. They begin with several points on the events of the ...

Has The Resurrection Hour Come-Daniel 8:17?

December 12th, 2008 | Eschatology | 3 Comments  
Has the Resurrection Hour Come-Daniel 8:17? Perhaps one of the most contested themes in eschatology is the timing of the last resurrection hour. We will address the question today, “has the resurrection hour come?” Because most Christians view the resurrection as physical, meaning corpses rising from literal graves,  they believe it has not yet occurred. However, both the prophets and the apostles addressed the resurrection as a time of awakening from sleep. Using that metaphor, we approach the subject. When I was a young boy, my mother had a time for us to arise. We however, did not always like the time ...
