STEPHEN WHITSETT, M.Div. Th.M. Ph.D., is a Professor at Southern Region LIFE Bible College. I have not been able to find anything about this college. It does not matter because going to college and having academic credentials carry little weight with me. He wrote some comments about my response to Jason Bradfield on mellō. (see my articles on Americanvision.org) Whitsett is a published author. He [...]

I received the following from a listener to one of my podcasts: I started to listen to the podcasts of Mr. DeMar. In the one regarding will the 3rd Temple be rebuilt, he states there is nothing in the New Testament mentioning one will be rebuilt. That, I believe, is not true. He mentions Daniel’s 70 weeks, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 11:1. He then states, “To me this is very clear that a 3rd [...]

What’s going on between Israel and Iran has the Evangelical world in a flutter. Jack Hibbs is asking, “Could This Be Next?” Because of his prophetic views, he states, “Thi [...]

You knew it was going to happen. Like clockwork, the prophecy pundits are finding Bible prophecy being fulfilled “right before our eyes.” I expect the usual suspects like John Hagee, Joel Richardson, Joel Rosenberg, and many more who are going to rev up the prophecy market. This is from John “Blood Moon” Hagee in 2024: Prophetically we are on the verge of the Gog-Magog War that Ezekiel described i [...]

Once liberals define a word or give meaning to a political verbal weapon like hate speech, they own it. Abortion is about being “pro-choice” not pro-abortion, that is, kil [...]

Ken Gentry keeps changing his views about preterism. That’s OK because we all make changes. I believe his charges are designed to avoid having to deal with challenges to t [...]

The results of a 35-year study about health are in. If you want to remain healthy, you need to “follow five simple rules—eat well, work out, drink less, keep [your] weight down and never smoke.” It took 35 years to figure this out? We’ve always known that lifestyle, diet, exercise and not smoking enhance health. I wonder how much money was spent on this study over a 35-year period. Where was DOGE [...]

Keying Teslas and firebombing Tesla dealerships because you disagree with certain governmental actions is not legitimate resistance, especially since these actions are levelled against private property. Under what circumstances and conditions is it morally viable to resist a civil government? Dr. Gary North sets up a possible scenario. It is 1942. The Nazis who control your nation militarily have [...]

There has been considerable debate over the best way to interpret the three-days and three-nights language of Matthew 12:40, either as three 24-hour days of exactly 72 hours or parts of three days and three nights. Because you can’t get three full days if the count begins on Friday, some interpreters have argued for a two-Sabbath approach and a crucifixion on Wednesday and a resurrection on Saturd [...]

The debate over eschatology continues, although there are some who argue there is no debate except on some minor points. We’re told the fundamentals have been settled even when there is still so much disagreement about the millennium, five different rapture positions, whether there is something called “the rapture of the church,” Jesus coming for His saints and Jesus coming with His saints, whethe [...]

As a boy, I was fascinated with inventors and their inventions. Not just in the invention but the process. How did they do it? Why didn’t they give up after so many failures? Edison’s attempt to find the right filament for his incandescent light was exhausting. He reportedly said, “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not w [...]

Sam Frost used to be a full preterist. He published articles and books defending the full preterist worldview while he was at Whitefield Theological Seminary under the tutelage of Ken Talbot. In his book Misplaced Hope, Frost wrote that he owed Ken “large thanks. Although he may not be in agreement with my conclusions [about Sam’s views about preterism], he nonetheless has inspired my undertaking [...]

In my opinion, in the battle over eschatology, creeds and confessions are heavily weighted toward dogmatism because eschatology has been a landmine of interpretive confusion. Let’s nail down some non-negotiable “I believes” and let combatants fight about the non-essentials in the never-ending Prophecy Wars. It’s become even more so with the advent of dispensational premillennialism. For many dispe [...]
