My Positive Interaction with Progressive Dispensationalist Bruce Ware at the Annual ETS Meeting
A few weeks back I attended the annual ETS meeting in San Diego. The first unit I took in was on “The Future of Progressive Dispensationalism.” The session I heard was by Bruce A. Ware entitled, “The Hermeneutics of Progressive Dispensationalism (PD).” Ware is a pretribulational progressive dispensationalist. One of the principles of PD that […]
A Follow Up to My Recent Post ‘The Modern Hebrew-Speaking Jew Fallacy”
This week I posted on the Modern Hebrew-Speaking Jew Fallacy, at least that is what I call it. A reader from Israel chimed in with the following. Hi Alan, Timely post this one. Living out here [Israel] I see this exact same thing quite a bit. While being a Hebrew speaker can give you a […]

Rosenthal got the pretrib definition correct […]

ANOTHER GLARING Inconsistent Pretrib Interpretation on Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy
Pretribulation interpreters reason that the church will not be part of the 70th week of Daniel (i.e. the last seven years) because it was not part of the 69 weeks. I have responded to this fallacious claim several times. But let me give you three reasons below, the third is a new counterexample I am […]
