UPDATE: Here is the debate I appreciate Dr. Ice for accepting the invitation to debate. Not many pretrib teachers are willing to engage on this level—come to think of it, he is the only one! I am very pleased with how the debate went. The audio will be posted on this site in […]

Gary DeMar Fails Miserably in His Debate Defending Replacement Theology (aka Supersessionism)
I just listened to the debate between Michael Brown and Gary DeMar on whether the church has replaced Israel. This was one doozy of a lopsided debate. You can download it for free here. Gary DeMar is stuck in 1970 when the The Late, Great Planet Earth was published by Hal Lindsey. I have noticed […]
A Public Invitation to Greg Laurie of Harvest Ministries to Defend His Pretrib Position in a Moderated Debate
Mr. Greg Laurie, you have been doing a series on end-times and you seem very confident that the next event on the calender is the rapture when the church will be swept away from the earth before the Antichrist’s great tribulation. I beg to differ. I think you are dangerously wrong. You have mislead countless […]

Doug Stauffer, All Bluster and No Bite
Pretrib, hyper-dispensationalist Doug Stauffer is out there going on radio shows arguing for his pretrib view with really, really bad arguments. Here is the most recent of his. He is also attacking the prewrath position. He is conveying the following bluster, which can be summarized as follows: Stauffer: I challenge prewrathers to defend your view […]
Calvary Chapel Pastor David Guzik Cancels Plans for the Rapture Debate
Last year, Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara Pastor David Guzik communicated to me his willingness to participate in a public moderated rapture debate: Pre-trib vs. Pre-wrath. Some of you wanted to know what the status of it is. I am sorry to announce that it will not happen. Guzik and I were planning a debate in […]
A Public Debate Challenge for Pretribulationist Dr. Doug Stauffer
Pretrib teacher Dr. Doug Stauffer was recently interviewed on View from the Bunker with host Derek Gilbert. His argumentation was deeply flawed and simply bad. Not to mention that—not surprisingly—he grossly misrepresents the prewrath position. Either Mr. Stauffer has not read primary prewrath literature, is incompetent, or being dishonest. He claims the prewrath position is […]

I responded to the first half of David Reagan’s shallow pretrib “critique” of the prewrath position. I first talked about “the lie.” The Lie is Reagan’s continued falsehood that prewrath teaches the rapture will happen “3/4th” into the “tribulation period.” I […]
Why Dr. David Reagan Refuses to Defend His Pretribulationism Publicly
I have had a standing debate invitation for David Reagan of Lamb & Lion Ministries for several years now. Recently, Reagan wrote a few blog articles critiquing prewrath. They were really bad and shallow. So I issued another challenge to him in the combox of one of his articles. Today, he wrote me via email […]
