The verb for “fulfilled” is sometimes used, in Scripture, as a platform or analogy and does not always refer to prophecy. The ultimate purpose of history is doxological, not redemptive. “If life in the resurrected state has a purpose, goals must exist beyond salvation.” Israel and the church are two distinct and separate peoples of God. Dispensational Theology and Reformed Theology have differences regarding the nature and mission of the church. Historic fruits of dispensationalism....

(Promises) Dispensational theology. Dispensationalism carries the Protestant Reformation one more step: into the area of eschatology. Dispensational theology was the dominating force in the modern missionary movement. The structure of dispensationalism. Dispensationalism emphasizes a literal interpretation of the biblical covenants. Dispensationalism believes the ultimate purpose of history is doxological, not redemptive. Dispensational theology starts with the Old Testament and works forward...

Reformed and dispensational theology. Reformed Theology kept some Roman Catholic practices and elements of Catholic theology. An example of how Reformed Theology attempts to attack premillennialism. The issue is how you think about faith. The effects of Covenant Theology. Covenant theology inductively creates two generic covenants, which are not stated in Scripture, above all the biblical covenants that are stated in Scripture. Reformed Theology has frozen the 16th and 17th century level of...

(Promise - Romans 8:32) The Bible doesn’t view faith as weak knowledge. The reformers advanced some elements of theology and froze some others in place. A point-by-point analysis of the acrostic TULIP. To “set aside one’s beliefs” is to adopt other beliefs. For Calvin, “because one has assurance of salvation, one can walk by faith” (relies on the perseverance of God rather than that of the believer). Questions and answers.

(Promise - Ephesians 3:20) Church history leading up to the reformation. Reformed Theology. The early reformation. Luther and Calvin defined faith as assurance. The second, third, and fourth generation reformers changed Luther and Calvin’s soteriology in response to Roman Catholic counterattacks. Soteriology, not eschatology, was the central battleground of the reformation. Questions and answers.

The heavenly origin of the church. The credentials of Jesus Christ, sitting at the Father’s right hand, cannot be challenged by Satan. David as an analog of Jesus Christ waiting for His kingdom. Christ’s current indirect strategy. Jesus Christ proved out the Church Age procedures available to every believer. Tactical victories in the angelic conflict. The impulse behind human good. Questions and answers.

(Promise - Philippians 4:6-7) Satan’s program and objectives in human history. Reasons for and categories of human suffering. God adjusts national boundaries according to whether people are seeking God or not. Suffering examples from Zechariah and Job. Satan’s operation is to get the creature to agree with him that God is not worthy of praise, worship and trust. Questions and answers.

(Promise - 1 Peter 5:6–10) God never saves apart from judgment. When God judges, He judges man, nature, and angels (as part of nature). Angels are implicated in historic acts. Angelic capabilities. Angels and political leaders. The fall of Satan. The angelic conflict and the resurrected, ascended, and seated Jesus Christ. Questions and answers.

When God judges, He always saves, and when He saves, He always judges. There’s always the threat of judgment in the message of God’s grace. The doctrinal consequences of Christ’s ascension and session. Judgment/salvation. The criteria for God’s perfect discrimination. Imputation has powerful implications. The high purpose for recording history is to document God and man’s behavior. Nature is involved in judgment/salvation as it relates to Christ’s session. Angelic involvement in...

(Promise - Romans 8:28) Reasons for suffering. All Christian suffering has a rational and ethical justification, but that justification may remain at the Creator level (Job). Old Testament passages that New Testament authors used to explain the ascension and session of Christ. Democracy and paganism. Questions and answers.

(Promise - Romans 8:28) Resting in the fact that God has a perfect plan. Old Testament pictures of the ascension and session of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul identified Jesus Christ with YHWH God of the Old Testament. God views the political power structures of history, in a fallen world, as sub-human, animal-like. How the New Testament uses the “Son of Man” imagery. Looking above history. Questions and answers.

Faith rest (Romans 8:28). The pagan mind always attempts to remove personal responsibility before God. The physical ascension of Christ proves that Pentecost was not the second coming of Christ. The ascension and the three heavens. The ascension and session of Jesus Christ.
