Com’on all theological smarties, read Romans 11. Paul flatlines all this theological palaver! For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? STOP THE NONSENSE AND STRIVE TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT! Romans 8:9.

Love this. Very good counsel. Thanks brother.

Why always ESV? And sorry, I still hold on to the blessed hope.

Imprecatory Psalms 💪

The video is a quick explanation of the two views but doesn't cover it all. Covenant Theology believes all was fulfilled in Christ and their is only the remaining event of his second coming which will end time and the world and people will go be judged. Dispensationalist in varying degrees believe in a " Rapture" of the Church from being taken out of this world which will begin a period known as " The Tribulation", a seven year period of time. At the end of the seven years Christ will return to earth to establish an earthly Kingdom with himself as King that he will reign over for a thousand years. At the end of the thousand years time will end and people will go to their judgement. There are a variety of interpretation as to how these events occur in Dispensationalism but all follow the general outline. The theory of a Church Rapture didn't even begin until the middle eighteen hundreds. It doesn't come down to us through antiquity. Special versions of the Bible were created to back these claims.

Thanks! What are some lament hymns you recommend? Thank you!

There’s absolutely 0 “theology” You can put above the word of the God. 1 john 2:2 SPECIFICALLY says the WHOLE world. No theology is above GOD’s word.

Amen ❤

This seems rather biased, although that might come from the editing!

Thank you Lord Jesus for your servant !

Don’t you understand Ligon Duncan has ushered in CRT into the Reformed?

I have purchased several versions of the Septuagint because I am realizing that the Masoretic text Bibles have missed the Greek quotations in the New Testament.

Amen, very well explained, Thank you.

This "but they don't have ongoing application" is the very flaw that nations, including an increasing amount of churches, are being more lawless. And the love of many growing cold. With the integration of God's Laws, Torah, in our society, I reckon that we'll be in a more joyful state. Certainly not as many pastors with "moral failures", I say this to our shame.

#WinningNotWinsome

Western Christians are confused because they think that Abraham's children were only the 12 tribes of Israel... even though the agreement was made when Isaac and Ishmael were born. So it is stated that children who are dominated by God will have a sign, namely that their descendants will dominate the region from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Praise the lord

Excellent lecture, thank you! This is very important material that needs to get out there because there is so much false teaching on this issue! From Charismatic "Deliverance Ministry" to Roman Catholic Exorcism to Michael Heiser to Nephilim, mermaids, fairies, and bigfoot-the church needs the biblically based clarity that Dr. Evans brings here! FYI to increase your click rate a more accurate video title and description would help a lot.

Both systems are forms of Judaizing and clearly false.

Preaching Christ means speaking Truth. "Winsome- ness" is a front for cowardice.

Dispensationalism is judeo supremacy

American Xians have faced nothing yet.

Great video. I made the mistake of saying this was something I wanted to look into but didn't know where to begin. A condescending church elder mocked me like some juvenile delinquent, ignoring the obvious spiritual question and seeking the righteous way to proceed. Seeking counsel is weakness to many within the church. May God's grace prevail.

Christ is truly God, and there are no degrees of deity / divinity. God is eternal, cannot ave an origine outside Himself and cannot die. The whole Bible withesses for Christ’s Godship. Take, for example, Exodus 3:2, 4, 14, or Isaiah 9:6; Rom 9:5; Tit 2:13; John 1:1; 20:28; Heb 1:8-10; 2:Pt 1:1. The New Testament authors, as well as Jesus and His apostles used the title SON OF GOD as an equivalent to CHRIST (THE ANNOINTED KING), according to Psalm 2:6-7, where the annointed King (Son of David/Messiah) is adopted by God, throgh that statement: ”Thou are My Son, TODAY (not before ages!) I have begotten Thee”. The sonship of Christ is nowhere described in the Bible as a biological relationship to God, but only as a deep spiritual relationship. Gabriel told Mary that her son will be CALLED / NAMED the Son of God / of Most High (Luke 1:35), not as if He were physically.the Son of God. Jews, Samaritans and even demons used this title (Mk 14:61; Lk 4:41; Jon 11:27), to mean nothing more than Messiah. In no case could these people imagine a physical birth of Messiah from God, as a God born of God, because the Old Testament, the only existing Bible at that time, had nothing to say about a physical/metaphysical birth of Messiah from God. The literalistic-speculative reading of the Bible is often a real curse. Anti-Trinitarian believers trust too much in thieir own reasoning, thinking that Trinitarian must be either stupid or malevolent / apostates. They want to simplify the truth about God, but they end up amputating the truth, since there is nothing like God, to be reasonably compared. Let God be God, as paradoxical as He is in His Oneness, in His Threeness and in His functional Trinity.

Okay, let's say the heart of what Mike said is true. Now what? To that end I ask you this: Is being informed of the truth, and prepared to speak it, something you're responsible for, or something God works in you?

Every Bible should have a warning that advises that reading this book may be injurious to your health!

You are partially right.

I think it's time for us to ask what can Charles Martel, John III Sobieski, Vlad Tepes and Alexander Nevsky teach us about how to deal with globalists, WEF, UN, EU, WHO, Soros, and other savages.

Very encouraging and uplifting message.

Any belief system that supercedes the individual rights of honest, peaceful people is wrong; and all for the same reasons.

I'll look into this book but it sounds like it's going to be major cope.

I could not agree more. We pray for the church in America. However, something troubles me about Americans discussing persecution and hostility towards their faith. It feels as though they are watering down the real persecution and hostility that Christians face in many parts of the world. Perhaps if Americans could visit those places and see what it’s like to live as a Christian there, they would appreciate living in the United States even more and recognize how far removed persecution is from reaching America.

There is a huge difference from saying the bible (the word of God) is the final authority and the sole authority. Pompous people like this stuffed shirt twist the gospel message into a works based life in which somebody never knows whether he has eternal assurance of salvation.

The problem is that covenant theologians dont recognize a 3rd way. God has a purpose for 2 peoples, national Israel and the believing Gentile. However Israelites can still only be eternally saved by believing in their saviour messiah. Paul is clear...one day all national Israel will be saved and mourn for him whom they pierced. The land covenants will also be fulfilled. Christ will reign for a 1000 years. Acts 1 makes it clear Christ will return to Jerusalem. Psalm 2 re-iterates this theme. The problem with covenant theology is they leave unfulfilled old testament prophecy...well...unfulfilled. Spiritualising these prophecies is not faith in God's promises to national Israel, rather it explains away old testament prophecies.

Hey guys, I haven't read a review, or done anything than watch the intro. Because this topic, alongside academia, I feel is very important, I'll say with the most heartfelt way I can, massive congratulations, it sounds well researched, thoughtfully written, and meticulously assembled. I'll add this in case either author is in the comments: the gap I cannot seem to close (personally) is that critical theories and then ideologies, only can arrise in light of modernity. And so this seems to limit them, which they often do themselves with the exception of perhaps Marx and a few others, to arguing against the dominant systems of producing and living out knowledge, or denying they exist at all, or create conflict or dissonance through the varying dominant philosophical and ideological ideas. What is fascinating, as you were talking about apologetics, is being raised Catholic, we always had a deep interest in the way religion was lived/worked/believed, and through those good works there wasn't always an outright mission, but in ways and perhaps large ways these speak against modernity and they speak into disenfranchisement, and even the lack of contemporary society all together. It's just always difficult, using a measuring stick to get to truth, and so it's not helpful in my opinion to see that multiple systems or ways of thought are making progress, it's not like some realism, magic espresso maker that has a qualitative or quantitative way of getting to truth. It's also, not irrelevant. I'm a political theorists (undergrad) by training, and something we'd say, is we see contemporary political theories building societies, we see them struggling and succeeding, but the end result, is usually some pendulum of institutionalism which ends up resolving a core philosophical challenge, or even the introduction of new ways of doing things. And if we're somehow constructing, a truth, or whatever truth can be, when you have this seed which is planted, and you're deciding what empirical research is worthwhile, how it's contextualized, it's difficult for me to drill critical theories into the same level, or type of fundamental sciences, that we see associated with rationalism or whatever else is appropriate to say here.

He also pours out dreams and visions. I have had two open visions myself and have heard Him speak out loud twice on two separate occasions.

CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other. Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race. All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical. The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination. All the rest is academic. My answer is no.

Fulness of times(s). Look it up

Amen thank you Ligon! The prophetic literalistic interpretation is such an issue in many evangelical circles. It is just a faulty hermeneutic but I can’t seem to convince my friends.

You are so wrong! How do you post something like this without knowing the truth? Scripture clearly points out the Jesus descended first and that his soul would not be abandoned in Hell. Death on the cross was not enough the sins had to be atoned for through fire, Jesus was the last sacrificial lamb! Jesus did set the captives in Paradise free to Heaven with Him. Those in torment stayed in torment. How is it that I a lay person knows more than someone who supposedly is an expert? All you have to do is read and study and you will also come to know the truth!!!

I wonder why we get so uncomfortable thinking about the Son taking on cognitive limitations even though, as God, he's omniscient, but we don't get so bothered about the Son taking on physical limitations even though, as God, he's omnipresent. Anybody got any thoughts?

RTS is WOKE. 40:09

Marxism is partly true???? 39:49

Common grace is heresy. 38:38

Non-Pauline doctrines would have been heretical in Pauline cults, and Pauline doctrine would have been heretical in non-Pauline cults. There may well have been a diversity of Christ cults despite lack of tolerance within eac one.

Dr. Waters with the wisdom!

If Jesus Christ defended into hell, I do believe he came out victorious. Jesus bore the sins of the world on the cross right? I would think Jesus used hell as a dumping ground so to speak for the sins of the world before accending to the Father.

Such a great perspective on such a challenging topic. Yes, when we pray prayers of help and intervention, can we do it without cursing our enemies? There in lies the challenge. / Curious?!! Do we ever see Jesus cursing His enemies in the NT.? I'm not trying to get in a war of words... but honestly want to know. Blessings all. Leann.

Theonomy = what you're trying to do. Postmil = what you think will happen. He tried to link Theonomy to postmil (I assume) to increase detractors. If so that was an unfair hit job regardless of what you think about Theonomy.
