![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20091208.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) In the Preterist view, God has canceled every covenant with Israel. There is no future or significance for the Jewish people or Israel as a nation. There is no fulfillment of the Davidic covenant. There is no reign of Messiah from a throne in Jerusalem. All of God’s promises to Isra [...]

What dispensationalists think preterists believe usually is not true. There are several misconceptions about preterism that are commonly spread by dispensational scholars. Gary tackles the subject to give you a better understanding of how preterism is supported by Bible prophecy. [...]

![“ArtIm:](“http://assets.americanvision.org/mediafiles/artim-20091207.jpg" ““ArtIm:”) “My primary problem with the Preterist view,” Robert Heidler, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary writes, “is that it is a blatant example of replacement theology.” If you want to end a debate over eschatology when you can’t make a cogent biblical case for your position, just [...]

Gary counters more dispensationalism with Bible-based facts. The New Testament lays out a “soon” judgement of Israel, and how it was fulfilled was through the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Dr. Heidler interprets Preterism as replacement theology, but as Gary explains, there’s not a replacement at all. [...]

Gary uses scholarly biblical hermeneutics to make an honest interpretation of Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy supports more fulfillment of Revelation than not. The fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 must be explained by dispensational scholars to validate futurist apocalyptic prophecy. [...]

Gary debates the dispensational views of Bible prophecy. Dispensational scholars have said the burden of proof is on the preterists, but as Gary demonstrates, it’s quite the other way around. [...]

Gary reviews a recent article by Dan Wallace about how Dallas Seminary graduate students are rejected by secular doctoral programs because the school is dispensational. [...]

Christian prophetic prognosticators aren’t the only ones who have an addiction to predicting the future and getting it wrong. Scienists have a similar addiction. This is why it is hazardous to trust the latest scare tactics over global warming, especially since laws will be implemented to make our lives miserable. Consider the predictions that were made about oil: “In 1914, the Bureau [...]

In anticipation of the hype and hysteria of the Ma [...]

The British government is in the process of deChristianizing this once Christian nation. While they are doing this, they are opening the door to Muslim extremists in the name of religious tolerance. By capitulating to the homosexual lobby and undermining the Christian foundation of England, in time Islam will gain the ascendancy and will wipe out the infidels. And when I say “wipe out,&rdquo [...]

You know some people will fall for this. The following is from Post Rapture Pet Care: “Do you wonder what is going to happen to your pets when Jesus descends from Heaven to re-unite the Church with the Father taking all Christians - dead and alive - up to Heaven? Will your pets be left behind with no-one to care for them? “Have no fear! We at Post Rapture Pet Care are confirmed atheist [...]

“What do you say in response to all of the people saying that you are secretly a friend to hyperpreterists?” – Question submitted by Aduro in The Christian Worldview Forum I am a very visible friend to a number of hyperpreterists. There is nothing secret about it. I am also friends with dispensationalists. I count Tim LaHaye, Thomas Ice, and Mark Hitchcock as friends, although I can’t get th [...]

In 1982 I wrote my first book: God and Government: A Biblical and Historical Study. It begins with the operating premise that government is not synonymous with politics. Slef-government under God is the basis of social change. When people change, everything they put their mind and hands to will change. Have you noticed in the past few weeks how irrelevant our politicians have become? Democrats and [...]

Chip Freundt was the son of Rev. Albert H. Freundt, Jr. (1932-2001). Rev. Freundt was a professor at Reformed Theological Seminary when I was a student there. During my time at RTS, I got to know one of his sons, Chip. Chip was physically frail, but this did not stop him from going on with life in a determined way. Over the years I would get emails from him that would update me on some shared inte [...]

A window of opportunity exists in our nation since families are being pressured by circumstances seemingly beyond their control to follow ominous historical patterns set before us in the atheistic regimes of Marx and Hitler. Education, for the most part, is centralized and controlled by civil government, at both the state and national levels with its Department of Education. Women are entering the [...]
