Online! | | Re: Millennial Madness | | Brother,
Though we appreciate saints posting resources from time to time, we
encourage most of the links to be messages found on SermonIndex.net
for discussion.
Also towards amillennialism and the belief that most events in Matthew
24 occoured in AD 70 is something we do not want promoted on
sermonIndex. It is fine that these things have been discussed but we
do not want the forums to be a place where a theology is promoted over
and over again.
SermonIndex.net holds to the traditional view of pre-millilism and
that events in Matthew 24 are still to occour, etc
Q. Is there a statement of faith for the website?
Answer. Being undenominational, we seek to minister to all who love
our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity (Eph. 6:24), and to love all who
love Him (John 15:12; 1 John 4:20-21). By this shall all men know that
ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:35). We
hold to the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired word
of God. We believe in the New Birth, and that Salvation is a free gift
of God through Jesus Christ to all who will repent, and believe the
Gospel (Mark 1:15; John 3:16). We believe in the virgin birth of
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke
1:26-35; Luke 2:1-7; John 1:14; John 3:16; Acts 13:16-41; 1 John
4:1-15). We believe in the deity of God the Father, the deity of
Jesus, the Son of God, and the deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe
that, while we were yet sinners, Jesus Christ shed His precious Blood
on the cross, and died, that we might have life, and have it more
abundantly (Rom. 5:8; John 10:10). We believe that Jesus rose again
from the dead (1 Thess. 4:14; Luke 24:1-8; Acts 10:34-41; Luke
24:33-46). We believe that Jesus, some days after His resurrection
from the dead, ascended to God in heaven (Acts1:1-10; Eph. 1:15-23).
We believe in the personal return of Jesus with power and great glory
(Luke 21:27), and that His return is an event for saved people to look
forward to with great expectation and with constant watchfulness and
prayer (Luke 21:34-36; 1 John 3:2-3). We believe that this same Jesus,
which was taken up from the apostles into heaven, shall so come in
like manner as they saw Him go into heaven (Acts 1:1-11). We believe
it is the privilege and duty of every Christian--to be filled with the
Holy Spirit, and to live a holy life, and to be always ready for the
return of Jesus, and that, in the meantime, each Christian should
Occupy (keep busy in His will, and in His service) till the Lord's
return (John 7:37-39; Acts 1:8; Eph. 5:18; Matt. 24:44; Luke 19:13;
Titus 2:11-15; 1 Peter 1:13-19).

The emphasis of the documentary ( Millennial Madness) from YouTube that I posted, has everything to do with the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is very informative, in the sense that it gives a history of, and an overview, of the past thousand years or so. It doesn't promote an eschatological view, but rather points to the responsibility of christians to preach the Gospel.
If you'd watch it you'd agree that it is very appropriate for SI and all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Please reconsider!

Online! | | Re: | | Brother,
I disagree after watching it, the overtone is Preterism. This is a clear instruction that we do not want saints posting materials from other ministries over and over again on the forums especially on a specific doctrinal subject such as Preterism which SermonIndex does not hold to.
I tried to email you privately beforehand but your email does not work on your profile.

| | Re: millennial madness | | The problem with the premillennial interpretation of the Bible prophecies according to this article (posted on SI) is that it dims our understanding of and identity in the kingdom of God as Christians (my summary) making us think that the prophecies teachings and descriptions of the Kingdom of God in the Bible refer to a future kingdom. Therefore this is not an empty theological hair splitting but vital truth for our strength, faith and identity.
https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=22428
If anyone reads the article and finds my summary inaccurate please correct me as it is possible that I read through certain "glasses". May the truth prevail.
God bless you all,
Zsuzsanna

| | Re: | | Oh dear, the can of worms is opened. Charles Alexander did not live to see the inception of the state of Israel. I doubt he would have changed his view anyway.
He gives much ammunition to the later coined replacement theology and amillenialism.
God has no covenant with the church. We, the church entered by faith into the covenant He has with Israel.
Ro 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. |

| | Re: | | "We quote from the Prophetic News of January 1969"
In the article he quotes an article from 1969. The establishment of the state of Israel was in 1948. So he lived to see it. |

Jeremiah 31:33 - But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Here is the NT explanation of Jeremiah 31:33 Here it is clearly stated that the Jeremiah was speaking about an other covenant with those who believe in Christ many of which are Jews (these are the remnant of the house of Israel)
Hebrews 10:9-16
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

| | Re: | | Hi Szusanna,
you are right, I thought he was somebody else. But that only makes it more evident that he does not understand the significance of Israel as a nation on earth. |

| | Re: covenant in My blood and Passover | |
Someone has said,
"God has no covenant with the church. We, the church entered by faith into the covenant He has with Israel."
But the testimony of Scripture equates the two and makes them one, there is no distinction.
Verse 28 states plainly and clearly that His blood of the covenant was poured out for many. As many as received Him, both Jew and Gentile. Glory be to His Name!
Mathew 26:17 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
