A Day Is As A Thousand Years 2 Peter 3:8

A Day Is As A Thousand Years

A Day Is As A Thousand Years A common objection to Christ's return in 70 AD is that "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day." This text from 2 Peter 3:8 is quoted with confidence by those who feel that have the complete refutation of the Preterist view in this one text. However, as the saying goes, that which proves too much proves nothing. Why? It's because there are several problems with how the futurist misuses this text. First, it is used to contradict Peter. Secondly, it is used to contradict Moses. Thirdly, it ...

End of the Law Romans 7

August 31st, 2014 | Eschatology | No Comment  
Romans 7 Video Study Romans 7 and Dying to the Law Did the Law of Moses die in 30AD? Was all prophecy fulfilled at that time? Is it impossible for two laws to co-exist? Was there a lawful way to be free from the Law? What does Paul mean when he says, for I through the law am dead to the law? How could he be dead through that which no longer existed. His conversion was years after Pentecost, at which time the Law is asserted to be dead. So, why would Paul (who excelled in Judaism beyond many of his contemporaries, Gal. ...

Power of Prophecy What is the power of prophecy? One of the best ways I can illustrate the answer to that question as an introduction is to tell you about my own personal story.

This greatly disturbed me as I surely was seeking God at the time and wanted to know that I had done the right thing by obeying the Bible. I was in despair, and certainly void of the skills I have developed in research, the many resources I have ...

Israel’s Hope – The Body of Christ

March 24th, 2011 | Eschatology | 2 Comments  
The Body of Christ - The Hope of Israel It is claimed by some that the body of Christ, i.e. the church of Christ was not prophesied in the Old Covenant. They believe that the body of Christ is an accident, a temporary stop-gap measure as a result of the Jesus' failure to establish the kingdom of God. This view ignores a fundamental premise of scripture. Paul's preaching consisted of no other things than those which Moses and the Prophets said would come (Acts 26:22-23). But, Paul preached the body of Christ. Those who claim the church is an accident cannot ...

Jacob and Esau and the Seed of Abraham

November 16th, 2010 | Eschatology | No Comment  
The Seed of Abraham Part Two God further clarified that the fleshly descendants of Abraham were not the seed of Abraham by choosing Jacob over Esau through whom the promise would be fulfilled? If all the fleshly descendants of Abraham were entitled to the promise God could not have chosen Jacob and rejected Esau. Yet, the text says of the twins, (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), it ...
