There is a different heart attitude between desiring justice and accountability vs taking pleasure in someone’s circumstances. The comments against @SlowToWrite are wrong.

Biblical Zionism is root in God’s faithfulness. OT land promises to Israel are eternal (e.g., Gen 15). Israel’s national future is guaranteed by God’s covenant faithfulness The church does not fulfill Israel. Jesus’s return includes Israel’s restoration and Millennial rule.
I think Tucker Carlson just called me (by clear implication) a heretic and one of the people he hates the most. Is that not what was meant by this? I hold to the belief that Israel still has a prophetic future according to Scripture. As I have taught in detail for years.

The land promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob refer to real geography, not merely spiritual blessing. One cannot reinterpret OT covenants solely through later revelation; they stand on their own terms.

The Abrahamic and Davidic covenants are everlasting and unfulfilled in their totality. The church shares in spiritual blessings but does not absorb Israel’s national identity.

It is important to remember that there is no higher authority than Scripture, for it reveals the very mind of God. What Scripture says, God says. The Bible does not have derivative authority, but rather it has inherent authority. As a matter of fact, Scripture has binding 1/

“Your church’s greatest enemy isn’t the government, the culture, Hollywood producers, or the liberal media. Scripture states and history confirms that churches are strengthened under persecution and adversity. 1/

If our churches are to be destroyed, or rendered ineffective and stagnant, that will happen at the hands of her own people… One of my greatest fears for the church I pastor is that we would unwittingly abandon the vital principles that keep us healthy, growing, and strong. 2/

Well-stated @HwsEleutheroi 🔥🔥🔥🔥 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. (Titus 1:9 ESVi)
A few items in response to some general comments over night about the upcoming debate: First, when I read the debate thesis last evening to the congregation at Apologia there was a collective gasp. I mean, they were stunned. Utterly. Which is a good thing. Remember, the thesis is, "Is the Holy Spirit able to sanctify black people as much as white people?" Secondly, a number have said, "Ignore the man." I say to those folks: do you even pastor? This cult is infiltrating our churches. Are you ready to deal with it? To answer the arguments that your young men especially are imbibing from Stone Choir? If not, WHY NOT? This is the day in which we live and in which we have been called to serve. As distasteful as it is, this thesis provided me with the opportunity to get to the heart of the matter. Finally, others have said, "He's excommunicate. Have nothing to do with him." OK, if E.D. Howe had had the opportunity to publicly debate Joseph Smith in 1835, he might have ended the movement that became Mormonism. The NT injunction is against fellowship with the excommunicated one, not refutation of false teachers. Remember, Paul wrote an entire epistle to an entire region of churches (Galatia) in which he refuted the false teachings of the "false brethren" (ψευδαδέλφοι). I am not fellowshipping with Mahler, I am refuting Mahler and warning against his errors. If you think your church is immune, think again. Every person in your congregation with online access and a smartphone is liable to encounter this kind of teaching. Are they ready?

Good morning saints. Here is a new poll question designed to sharpen your understanding of God's word: Is lying ever justified? Is there ever a "good reason" to lie? Does God ever commend anyone for LYING? Please also include biblical support for your answer in the thread below

It is not “flawless victory.” It called changing the subject. The question does not militate against what the Bible actually teaches about the human condition. The “sphere of sovereignty” shuffle from Mr. Davis appears to obfuscate the salient issue raised by @Pastor_Gabe.
