Future National Israel
Blaising and Bock write, For [Bruce] Waltke, the issue centers on the land. But is his criterion for “proof” too narrow, demanding as he does an explicit New Testament affirmation of Israel’s inheritance in the land in order for Old Testament promises to be taken in their historical sense? Is land the central issue Waltke […]
On Misrepresenting Dispensationalism
Craig A. Blaising tells the following story, Recently, one of my students wrote a paper on current issues in dispensationalism. At the beginning he quoted a prominent pastor who identified dispensationalism as that dangerous heresy of date-setting. The student, of course, dismissed this charge as simply uninformed.

My 3 Year Old Refuted Psychological Pretrib Imminency!
I told my 3 year old son that he had to wait until Christmas day to open up his presents. In other words, it was not an imminent event but rather a delayed intervening period. Was his response “diminished hope” as pretibbers would have you believe if there was an intervening period before the rapture? […]
A Reply to David James Who Thinks It Is Possible that a TRUE Believer Can Take the Mark of the Beast and REMAIN Saved
It is worse than I thought. David James’s pretribulationism is incredibly incoherent and the man cannot be reasoned with in just normal discourse.
