[rochellecaffee]

Thank you, Steve. I do listen from time to time to The Narrow Path. God bless you. You presented your views with great clarity and thorough and very reasonable considerations for all. ✝️❤️⚔️🙏

As I said in response to another of your videos, nineteen years ago the Lord began to open my eyes to things I had learned wrongly and to show me the truth through the study of his word. So when I began to share what I was learning about Israel, I was immediately viciously attacked and called a heretic and that I should be put to death and/or I was accused of teaching "replacement theology." Never had heard that term before, so I had to look it up. Seems that the majority of American Christians are against what they term "replacement theology" even if you are showing them from the Scriptures, in context, what Jesus and his NT apostles taught. So I get little support and I either get ignored or I get attacked or fought against and regarded as a heretic. But the Lord continues to encourage me to keep speaking the truth on this issue, for far too many people professing faith in Jesus Christ are giving their undivided loyalty, adherence, devotion, and support to the physical nation of Israel almost as though the nation itself is a god to be worshipped. And they believe whatever the news says and whatever the official narrative states and whatever they were taught regardless of what the Scriptures teach, in full context. And it is heartbreaking.

Dispensationalism is just a new way of taking a marker and crossing out the things you don't like in the Bible.
"All that bad stuff is now for those people over there. Not us here."

Steve, you are very patient and charitable with these men. I especially appreciated your response to Hibbs' statement about the word "Israel" appearing over 2000 times in scripture. I nearly pulled my hair. I think that the way that these men argue their position by simply making unsupported assertions is childish and manipulative. In addition, I think it demonstrates that they are confident that the vast majority of their audience doesn't really know how to read and study the Bible. I think you are spot on that this approach appeals to people who are simplistic in how they want to interpret the Bible.

On a final note, I was encouraged to hear you say that dispensationalists are the ones who are actually guilty of teaching a replacement theology. I reached the same conclusion some time ago while studying Paul's olive tree analogy and statements about the promises to Abraham being fulfilled in Christ. Thank you, and keep up the good work

Thank you so much for your gracious attitude explaining details of complex views within eschatological frameworks. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Search the scriptures.

Hello! Praise JAH! Psalm 68:4 KJV and his name alone is the most high Psalm 83:18 KJV

1:08:31 The use of mockery as a way to counter difficult arguments reminds me of a quote by Thomas Sowell regarding Cosmic Justice:

“As Joseph Schumpeter once said, “the fist thing a man will do for his ideals is lie, the next thing he’ll do is character assassination”. Those people who disagree with those with the vision of cosmic justice must be stopped in their view by all means necessary. And that of course includes character assassination. “

If a Jewish person gets saved in America. Is he supposed to now go to Israel or has he come into the body of Christ

[mysticmouse]

Not all descended from Israel are Israel

In recent teachings on rapture and antichrist, Jack Hibbs stated he was went from pretrib, then posttrib, then back to pretrib, but never explained what convinced him to flip-flop beyond stating that he knows because he's been on both sides.

[edeancozzens]

These men lost credibility with me when they mocked Stephen Sizer and Dr. Gary Burge. I've met both men, read their fine books, and heard them speak. Both are fine men and good scholars and their books are excellent.

This is how I come to really believe that Jesus is truly the Savior of the world, but for years I read scriptures that cannot lead one to believe he can possibly save the whole world, but eventually I have found scriptures that claim just that.

[aaddebruijn]

Early or later date of Revelation is irrelevant i think.
Prophecy is a genre of writing that can be used after the fact, this is no problem in Scripture, the Scriptures write about what was, is and will be in one prophecy.
So f.e. Rev. 21 writes not only about what will be but also about what was and is. The city of God is, and there is no temple in it because God and the Lamb are the temple.
The socalled third temple is God and the Lamb, and they are Now living in the believers hart through the Spirit.
Chronology is made absolute in their view and obscures the relevant meaning and spritual comfort that it can be for the believer.

Historic Christianity is important and interesting, but the Patristics did not always get it right. Biblical Christianity and Theology is the foundation. In other words, saying that historically such and such has been believed does not make it so. Also, non-Preterist does not mean dispensational. That is an over simplification that focuses on labels.

[kellypatton]

How can you watch what is going on in Israel now, and still think that all the promises for Israel belong to the church? God said that Israel is the apple of God's eye. Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who curse Israel will be cursed.

Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?

Who is really teaching “Replacement Theology” ?
(Did God fulfill His promises to the Jewish people at Calvary? Matthew 26:28, John 19:30)

The advocates of modern Dispensational Theology often accuse others of promoting “Replacement Theology”, or some may even say “Antisemitism”. What does the Bible say about their accusations?

1. Who is replacing Christ as the seed of Abraham through which all the families of the Earth would be blessed in Genesis 12:3, with Abraham’s modern descendants? (See Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:8.)

2. Who is replacing the one people of God in John 10:16, with two peoples of God ?

3. Who is replacing the one seed (Christ) in Galatians 3:16, with the many seeds?

4. Who is replacing the children of the promise in Romans 9:8, with the children of the flesh?

5. Who is replacing the faithful “remnant” of Israelites in Romans 11:1-5, with the Baal worshipers?

6. Who is replacing the word "so" in Romans 11:26, with the word "then"?

7. Who is attempting to replace the Church made up of all races of people, with one made up only of Gentiles? Why did Peter address the crowd as “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2:36, when about 3, 000 Israelites accepted Christ on the Day of Pentecost?

8. Based on Hebrews 9:15, the New Covenant cannot be separated from the Messiah’s death. Is the covenant in Daniel 9:27 connected to the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26. Is the covenant with the “many” in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the “many” in Matthew 26:28? If it is, some have replaced the New Covenant in Daniel 9:27 with a future covenant made by an antichrist not found in Daniel chapter 9. (See the 1599 Geneva Bible used by the Pilgrims.)

9. Those promoting the Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology often accuse others of teaching “Replacement Theology”, but are they the masters of it? Are they promoting a form of Dual Covenant Theology based on race? (See “genealogies” in Titus 3:9) Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?

10. Watch the YouTube video “Genesis of Dispensational Theology” to see the origin of this man-made doctrine, which is less than 200 years old. It was brought to the United States about the time of the Civil War by John Nelson Darby. The doctrine was later incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, and then spread through much of the modern Church.

Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas Texas was created in part to promote John Darby’s Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology.
Lewis Sperry Chafer, the first president of Dallas Theological, had the following to say about the difference between Israel and the Church:

“The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism (Dallas, Seminary Press, 1936), p. 107.

Chafer states that, ‘Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne, ’ that is, on earth and distinct from the church who will be in heaven.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer. Systematic Theology. 1975. Vol. IV. pp. 315-323.

John Walvoord, another prominent voice of Dallas Theological stated…

"...it is an article of normative dispensational belief that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants from the Nile to the Euphrates will be literally instituted and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centred on a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. In such a scheme the Church on earth is relegated to the status of a parenthesis.”
John F. Walvoord, The Rapture Question.1979, p. 25

Are there two peoples of God in John 10:16? (See also 1 John 2:22-23, 2 John 1:7-11.)

What is the land promise to the Old Testament Saints in Hebrews 11:15-16?
(See what Joshua said about the Old Covenant land promise in Josh. 21:43.)

Based on 2 Peter 3:10-13, is this earth “eternal”? Will it be replaced by a new earth?

Based on Acts 2:36, and Romans 9:6-8, and Romans 11:1-5, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3, can faithful Israel and the Church be separated into two different groups?

Who is the New Covenant promised to in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is it fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24?

Will modern Orthodox Jews ever be saved outside of the New Covenant Church, if the New Covenant is “everlasting” in Hebrews 13:20? (See also 2 Thess. 1:7-10) If the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant “obsolete” in Hebrews 8:6-13, why would God go back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?

Read the recent book "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism", by Daniel G. Hummel.

Hello friends I have a New video on Bible Prophecy and the End Times. Please consider going to Papa Joe Fortner or Shockwaves of the End Times or The Watchmen Series with Papa Joe. Thank you and God bless you 🙏

Pre-tribers don't believe the whole bible.
2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3 says in plain simple language the day of the LORD and our gathering to him are the same day. No way the gathering happens 7 yrs (70th week) or 3-1/2 years ( tribulation) prior to that day.
My second witness to support my pre- wrath view the parable of wheat and tares . The wheat and tares grow together until the harvest.
