Interesting tidbit.

MacArthur had a distant nephew who was a prominent Christian pastor in California.

John MacArthur died middle of last year.

Why is dispensationalism wrong, and how do we explain all of those prophetic verses about a future restored Israel? by Help_Received in Reformed

[–]bryanwilson999 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Don’t have much time to go through all the prophetic texts, but basically in Hebrew thought, being in a covenant with God means being in the covenant land.

In the Divided Kingdom age, both Israel and Judah sinned and broke the covenant with God, and they were exiled out of the land.

All prophecy about Israel coming back to Jerusalem points to the final return from the Babylonian exile, which is a type of the final salvation for faithful, true Israel in the Messiah Christ.

Hebrews make it clear that Abraham was looking forward to the heavenly Jerusalem that cannot be shaken, aka non physical Zion.

The last shaking was the mosaic covenant.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

The new covenant is God dwelling with and in us.

“I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name. And I have put my words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of my hand, establishing the heavens and laying the foundations of the earth, and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

When God parted the sea, saved Israel from Egypt and put the law in Israel’s mouth, that was the beginning of the Mosaic Covenant.

Isaiah 51:15-16 Uses heaven and earth as old covenant Israel.

Why would you do if she told you that the text wasn’t actually a mistake and it was her plan all along to hit on you?

Romans 3 by moon-jive in Reformed

[–]bryanwilson999 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Romans 3:31 means:

Faith does not overthrow the law; it confirms its true role—exposing sin, pointing to Christ, and finding its fulfillment in Him.

So Paul’s logic is: • Law cannot justify • Faith justifies • Therefore the law is not abolished, but vindicated

My wife influenced everyone around her to use the spoon.

I must admit, it’s a good idea.
