An Explanation (To Friends And Foes Alike)

This morning Dee Dee Warren published at The Preterist Blog her third article dealing with “Christian unity.” Because this is the third such article she’s written, and because the previous posts have been removed, I thought it good to write an explanation of what is going on, that the Christian community may have the information…

J.C. Ryle- A Literal, Visible Return

“The plain truth of Scripture I believe to be as follows.  When the number of the elect is accomplished, Christ will come again to this world with power and great glory.  He will raise His saints, and gather them to Himself.  He will punish with fearful judgments all who are found His enemies, and reward…

Zechariah 14, Daniel 12, & The Great Tribulation

Ray Comfort’s Orthodox Eschatology

I think the most interesting thing about this article, however, is Comfort’s eschatology, in which he distinctly states that we are to look for a “New Heavens and New Earth.” There is nothing fabulous or novel in…

A “Comforting” Thought

Although the popular teachings of the day are sometimes wrong, one really has to wonder where to draw the lines between utility and futility.
