Show me the spiritual condition of your companions, and I will tell you what your spiritual condition will be three to five years (or months) from now.
Andrew, once again, delivers on the promise to provide theologically deep, exegetically accurate, canonically broad, historically faithful, and culturally relevant material. This distinction between soteriology and gospel is essential to understand if we are ever to overcome the dualisms and reductionism(s) that currently plague the self-inflicted impotency of the church; this is especially damaging when we consider the failure of the “church scattered” Monday through Saturday. Moreover, discovering or re-discovering a biblically robust, wholistic understanding (i.e., “as far as the curse is found”), and leavening application of the ‘gospel’ to all of life cannot be—should not be—intimidated by the false charges and caricatures of triumphalism or over-realized eschatology. Which is what typically happens when men like Andrew speak or write from a cosmic perspective. In fact, this distinction aids us in overcoming what should be obvious to any Christian living in this hour: the church, knowingly or unknowingly, by reducing the gospel to personal salvation has succumbed to a under-realized, eschatology of Christ’s redeeming work. This understanding of the gospel broadens the scope of ‘church work,’ corrects our hermeneutical myopia, and intensifies our doxological expressions. May Christ Jesus increase Andrew’s tribe! So grateful for this man’s tireless labor in prayer, study, and writing. DD
Except WTS/Talbot's star pupil said you can find new things in the Bible no one else ever has. https://youtu.be/1huTEVaosSo Kind of invalidates all this effort against "heresies".
Brilliant exposition, well done. I have been profoundly pondering this very issue (of woke equality v biblical equality) for as long as 'the beast' (of modern perceived values concerning propriety, equality et al., raised its ugly head from the depths of unrighteousness to 'come out of the sea' (of modernism/wokism) 'to walk on holy lands' (ie to propagate, promulgate, perpetrate immorality), but I have lacked the literary & academic skills and knowledge to lay down words as well as a learned scholar would. so thank you for doing it for me.
call it fate or the spirit of truth working wonders in this modern perverse day and age but something preternatural fired my sense of percipience and I penned the following self quote just two days ago, namely:
.."inequality and decency go hand in hand, just look to the ancient of days, but equality can only survive with indecency by its side, just look to the ways of modern (woke-ridden) mankind today."
Mr. Sandlin, first, it wasn't an insurrection. It was a riot at the capitol. Second, we both know the elections were not fair. We both have read the Twitter Files, and we both have seen the FBI along with media squelching votes. Third, this started in 2015. Now, whether one likes Trump or not, those are the facts and they are actually undeniable. Even you and your friends have to admit such. If not, then you are no Burkians. So, since this IS the case, it means we have exactly what was stated by not only Trump, but just about anyone sane. Unrepresentative government. You say your a history buff and a Constitutionalist how and why was this country formed? What does the Preamble state? I'm not advocating it, but I am asking you what it says.
Mr. Sandlin, you speak in your video of "apostate Israel". Clearly the people to whom you refer were not, and are not, Israel. The land of Israel underwent great change from the time of the Assyrian capture and the Babylonian capture. The land was not vacant. Many peoples moved in. Many of the forbidden tribes arose such as Canaan, Moab, Ammon, Hittites, Gibeonites (with whom Israel made treaty to their detriment), and others who Israel did not wipe out when they came in to possess the land of Canaan. This is why John Hyrcanus tried to unite Judea by falsely proclaiming that all who lived in Judea (ca. 150 B.C.) were now Jews. Not all Israelites returned after the Assyrian capture. The same for the Babylonian capture who were the "elites" of their day in Jerusalem. And many remained in Babylon. The Israelites of the Assyrian capture escaped to the NW through the door of hope in the valley of Achor and then fulfilled the prophecy of becoming a multitude of nations such as Scythians, Scandinavians, Saxons (a contraction of Isaac sons) and Germanic peoples. The word German means "genuine" to Romans. Only the House of Israel were cast off and therefore needed redemption, meaning to "buy back".
Before His Crucifixion, Christ said, "My sheep hear my voice." The obvious conclusion is that those who did NOT hear His Voice, were NOT His sheep. Today we have false Israel. 90% of "Jews" today are Ashkenazim. These are people from Khazaria (known as Khazakstan today) who around 850 AD came to Judaism to avoid the crush between the Christian Byzantine empire to the west and Islam to the east. These people are of Turko-Mongol descent. King Bulan of Khazaria sent emissaries to both empires and learned that each paid homage to the OT patriarchs and so by decree, Kharzaria became Jewish. They allied themselves to the Babylonian Jews still in Babylon who were there for 1,000 years. Today we have the actual bible of modern-day Jewry, the Babylonian Talmud. Too many Christians throughout history have been fooled that the Babylonian Jews are from the Israelites. This is a fact that they categorically DENY in the 1st article of the 1980 World Jewish Almanac and the Jewish World Encyclopedia. I suggest you also read the 13th Tribe by Arthur Koestler for further verification. Another excellent reference on the Talmud is The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today by Elizabeth Dilling.
BTW the word "gentile" has one meaning "nation" and can only be correctly understood from context. It does NOT mean non-Israelite except from context. Many times it was correctly translated nation(s) in the NT and not transliterated. You cannot understand the Bible today without correctly identifying the players!
P Andrew Sandlin’s articles are not inspirational.
A quasi intellectual script which drives down Christian marriage ‘It’s a creation all institution , not a Christian Institution.
Mr Sandlin , the readers thirst for the clear Christian message. Your writings seem to diminish Christian marriage by cotradicting the traditional teaching.
Marriage is between one man and one woman ! How clear is that ? All else is sin. How clear is this ?
Intellectual pride clouds your thinking. Remember : 1 man 1 woman , exclusive love for one another.
Fidelity. Procreation if you are blessed with a family.
As usual, like most who claim to understand the Word, ack the understanding the complete separation of Gen 1 adamah and Gen 2 adamah. First off, ancient Hebrew had only two tenses of language: Present and Present Perfect. They had NO past tense. Please illustrate how one can do a flashback using only present tense. It is impossible. Please explain how Gen 1 adamah male and female are created simultaneously and in Gen 2 Adam 1st and then Eve later. You can only do this if they are SEPARATE CREATIONS. Gen 2 says in ver. 5, "for there is no man yet to till the soil. Which is totally different from hunter/gatherer man of Gen 1. The Bible timeline in Gen 5 is still shown in present tense and that is where we get the 6,000 years. When Cain slew Abel, why did YHWH put a mark on his forehead so that no one would kill if his Mom and Dad were the first two people on the face of the earth as so many ignorant, but earnest, preachers have been taught and continue to spread their ignorance? Who did Cain to go off to build cities for if Mom and Dad were the first two people on earth? The concept of marriage (which is a mystery) only came about in Gen 2. Has it been expanded on? Yes! Is that a bad idea? Maybe, but marriage started in front of YHWH God Bone of my flesh of my flesh. Please understand the language of the Pentateuch, it's tenses and then read with and speak with understanding.
Happy anniversary to you both! I cannot tell you how this has comforted and encouraged me. Your anniversary is the anniversary of our son's memorial service and our daughter in love's birthday, so I shall file it away for future reference. May God continue to bless you and Sharon and make you fruitful in ministry.
The eschatology of the New Testament is predominantly preterist, i.e. phrases such as "the end of all things" (1 Peter 4:7) and the "coming of the Lord" (James 5:7) often refer to the final end of the old covenant with the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Even so, "the end" as referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:24-26 prophesies the Lord's "2nd coming" (bodily) for universal judgment and resurrection, which is still in our future (cf. Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ff; etc.).
The invisible “coming” of the Son of Man in wrathful judgment upon that wicked generation in 70 AD is certainly a frequent prophetic reference as an outworking of the signal events of 30 AD; nevertheless “…it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” -1 John 3:2. A few verses earlier John exhorted believers to abide in the Lord with perseverance, so as not to be ashamed before Him at His coming (1 John 2:28). This is a clear reference to the yet to be fulfilled final judgment at the end of time, when everyone must give account personally (cf Romans 14:10-12).
Eschatological views that take prophecies of the New Testament out of their historical context and interpret them as yet to come in our imminent future make for sensational headlines, but just don't make sense exegetically. See Eschatology Between the Extremes: https://churchvictory.wordpress.com/2019/01/10/eschatology-between-the-extremes/" .
Postmillennialism is not just confessional, it is biblical. "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." -Habakkuk 2:14
First you really need to understand who are the Gentiles. The word merely means nations. It was first applied to cast off (divorced) 10 northern houses of Israel. The concept that it refers to ALL nations of the world does NOT encompass the need for redemption. Redemption means to buy back i.e those whom YHWH GOD divorced for1st commandment violation. The nations of the world were never of the original 12 Houses of Israel except those who were cast off, migrated to the North and West from the Valley of Achor as described in Hos 2:15 and then became the Germanic (the word means genuine according to the Romans), Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon (a contraction of Sons of Isaac) who number as the sands of the sea. The 10 Northern Houses are the only ones in need of redemption. This simple truth does not exclude those outside of Israel proselytizing themselves to Israel and Christ. It certainly does not include Ashkenazic Jewry (approx. 90% of modern day Jewry) who were following Babylonian Talmudistic Judaism from Khazaria after approximately 850 A.D. After both the Assyrian and Babylonian captures, the lands of Israel were occupied by those not of Israel including those cast off forever by YHWH such as Ammon, Moab and Edom. Many of those people formed what became Judea and later infiltrated the real tribes of Israel. Why do you think that Christ said, "My sheep hear my voice.". Not all those who were Judeans heard His Voice. Who carried the Word throughout the world? Jews? Jews of the "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9 and 3:9) those who DENY the Christ? No way!!! Check out the 1st article in the 1980 World Jewish Almanac or various articles on who is modern Jewry in the Jewish World Encyclopedia or the book written by jewish author Arthur Koestler called the 13th Tribe. One cannot even attempt to understand eschatology unless one CORRECTLY identifies the players in the texts. Those who carried the Word throughout the world are the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples. The 10 Northern tribes of Israel who make up the multitudes of nations are the ones in need of redemption to YHWH through Christ Jesus. The rest who choose to follow Christ are only in need of salvation.
According to the article resurrecting liberalism, the moral law as it relates to civil legislation is narrow — basically protecting life, liberty, and property. But from where does this limited view of civil government come from ? - not the word of God as i can tell. May i suggest a study of the Reformed confessional standards like the WCF, (prior to the North American revision that is)
Thank you Brother for your work... I'm wondering if you can send me "Resurrecting Liberalism", I want to learn more about classic liberalism from a biblical perspective and how can be join with a postmil eschatology.

I appreciate the thorough theological thrust that consistently is brought to bear to address the issues that concern us. Thank you.

Greetings from México,
Thank you Brother for your work... I'm wondering if you can send me "Resurrecting Liberalism", I want to learn more about classic liberalism from a biblical perspective and how can be join with a postmil eschatology.
I will leave you my e-mail: ing.tonymtz@gmail.com
God Bless you!
