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 […]
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.

Debate: Marvin Rosenthal (Prewrath) vs Dave Hunt (Pre-trib)
I am going to briefly comment on this radio debate between Marvin Rosenthal and Dave Hunt. I would have preferred this to be a formal radio debate with rebuttals and cross-examination and the moderator enforcing time limits. Instead it was a back and forth debate. But you take what you can when you have an […]
Responding to Joe Bell of Calvary Chapel Lafayette, and a Challenge to Defend his Position in a Public Debate
Joe Bell replied to me writing an egregious ignorant email about the prewrath position. I will respond to it point by point here. He writes: With all due respect brother, you mean the church needs to be taught a death theology that you propagate because very few believers will make it through the first three […]
