The Truth in True Crime - Part 1 - What is the Secret to Human Flourishing?
OK. Let's get this straight. Covenant Theology does NOT claim that "everything is fulfilled in the church" or that "everything changed over to the church." We say that the church is simply true Israel (it has existed since Gen 3:15 inaugurated the covenant of grace) and that the fulfillment is and always has been an eschatological fulfillment in the New Heavens and New Earth.
Great video; I believe you are right in how you read God's Word. The only thing I may change is when you use the word "literal"; many opposed to Dispensationalism will twist it out of the context you set it in and use it as a weapon by saying silly things such as, by "literal" you mean that "Scripture must always be read in its most literal sense." Of course, you go out of your way to say this is not what you mean by this, but does it really matter to those who will not listen to what you are saying or watch the full video before they make comments? I would use the phrase "serious reading" instead of "literal reading"; it will be harder for those who desire to attack to twist that word, and hopefully, it will force them to engage with what you said rather than what they wanted you to say.
I'll have to watch this in it's entirety later, but it strikes me unintentionally dishonest in places. For example, claiming it is NOT an interpretive framework to be applied to scripture then putting forth to presuppositions: Namely that scripture must always be read in it's most literal sense (take a look at how Jesus and the Apostles interpret prophecy, or better yet how Marks interpretation of the young woman/virgin prophecy differs from the Hebrew text, relying instead on the Greek translation), and that the Church and Faithful Israel are separate entities (something Paul explicitly rebukes). Certainly there where some early Christians that where pre-millenial (although I find some of the claims that Iraneaus was to be a bit hyperbolic). But modern day dispensationalism and historic premillenialism are two different things. Of interesting note, if you DO choose to lean on Iraneaus as an early dispensationalist, you should note that he did not think the founding of the nation state Israel would signal the end times, instead he believed the eschaton would be ushered in around 7030 AD: "For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded." - Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, Chapter 28 The chief concern of iraneaus seemed to be asserting that the resurrected faithful will reign bodily with Christ, over and against the claims of gnosticism. While we're at it quoting Ireneaus as reliable though, how about this quote? "It is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church [Rome], on account of its preeminent authority" - Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 3, Chapter 3. Like I said. I'll need to watch this in it's entirety. Appreciate the goodwill dialogue though. I've seen you on some of the ant-dispensational podcasts before. God Bless!
You should watch the video in its entirety later. Sadly, this is what many people do: assume first, then make comments, and possibly, at some point, listen to the other side to see what the other side has to say on the matter they disagree with.
@@williambillycraig1057 I think I watched enough to make the comment I made. None of it was done with the intent of "debunking" or rebuking. Merely providing context. I think the argument that "a variety of eschatological views existed in the ante-nicene period, even among people widely regarded as Church fathers (ie not heretics)" is a much easier case to defend than "dispensationalism existed in the ante-nicene period." I should note that I've seen this speaker as a guest on other podcasts and generally find him to be a very irenic and charitable debater. I've heard many of the points he's making in this video before. I have no ill will towards him, even if I disagree with his findings. That's why I specified "unintentionally" dishonest.
Thanks so much for this approach, especially your new take for a 'Definition' at the beginning.
Its a human invented heresy
Try listening to the presentation and then tell me if I said anything that is heretical. Heresy is a very strong claim and should not be thrown around in a cavalier manner. I believe that this presentation silences both parts of your claim: 1. That is an invention, and 2. It is heresy.
Bill, it's shameful and wrong to use such an extreme word, reserved for actual heretics, upon brothers who hold a literal way of understanding God's Word that: - affirms the deity of Christ - affirms that there is only one way of salvation, through faith - affirms the Word of God as inerrant. It is not human invented, it simply says: Take Scripture as it present s itself, the narrative of God's plan, rather than imposing allegorical man made Church creeds from the 1600's to shift it's meaning. Be well.
It's a God-inspired truth.
Chiliasm was condemned as "in error" but was not deemed "heretical" in other words: Montanists (the chief chiliasts at the time, and probably the closest to dispensationalists in a few ways*) where anathematized, but not chiliasts, *Note: I said in a few ways, because while the montanist eschatology mirrors dispensationalism more closely than say historic premillenialism, the other views of montanists differed quite substantially. Montanus believed that he himself was the comforter which Jesus had promised to send, they also had a much stronger pentecostal/charismatic leaning than most dispensationalists today have.
I'm not a dispensationalist, but I think it's fair to say that: 1) Responding vaguely and not addressing any particular claims is uncharitable. 2) It's important to not overstate your case and claim that anything you disagree with is heresy. If you're a Protestant, what is your basis for saying one interpretation is heretical and another isn't. If you're not a Protestant, you should not be forbidding that which the Church has not forbidden. It's better to hold your tongue and investigate a matter to make sure you stick as closely as possible to what your traditions actual stance is (be that presbyterian, catholic, reformed baptists etc), in detail.
I’m actually listening to podcast at this moment. Thank you for this teaching!
Why do not we say the words about God- not words of God. The Bible was written by the prophets, apostles and disciples. It was not written as if God dictates and the scribes write it as they heard it.
Lovely. Absolutely lovely. God bless you all.
Is there a book or a publication of some sort with a list of the meaningful variances and how they are resolved?
Ok ESAU you know who you are,but some how you don't tell the TRUTH. You know who you worship but don't want to say,let me help you out. You ESAU made a covernant with Samuel the devil on mt Sir to kill his brother Jacob an it stands even until this day. You, ESAU is like your Daddy. Revelation 12:3 3¶And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads... John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.. Esau your mountain is on fire in California 🔥🔥burn baby burn🔥. Its judgment time 💯
Maybe people must rather read the Bible, luckily we dont all believe in it, actually it's people's view and opinion, all the names and importance, but at the end of the day, God is in control and only he knows, so maybe one day we'll all know the truth! No use fighting about it, its your point about it!😊
Tell me more about the archaeological study bible???
Thank you for this teaching and God bless you Sir!
Thank you for your kind words of appreciation.

Making fun of someone for charts is like criticizing an architect for drawings,a draftsman for blueprints, electrical engineer for schematics, etc.
Daniel 4:9 he was already the head of the magical practicing priests of Babylon .they practiced pharmakeia with cultic rituals to interpret dreams and he was in charge of all of them ! .most likely already 3rd in charge right ? Also Belshazzar (not belteshazzar ) was the son of nabonidus not Nebuchadnezzar so I’m not sure how this video proves the historical accuracy of the bible .if anything it should do the opposite .please reply
It seems most of the attacks on dispensationalism are just I don't understand it and I don't like it because it doesn't agree with the false teaching I've had.

Primarily, the Edomites are represented as the Jews of today. Not all were destroyed at the "day of the Lord", which was the AD 70 event. There are variants of our word, ALL.
I believe Ehrman said central doctrines are not in jeopardy (although I'm not sure about the games played around the trinity) because the doctrines are theological, NOT historical. He says that we do not have original texts, that there are irreconcilable inconsistencies in the texts - not the inerrant word of God. He leaves ppl to believe what they wish.
Edomites are Europeans and American
Great stuff!
That's fascinating! I'd be very interested to hear (or read) a similar analysis of Matthew's use of Hosea 1:11 in Matthew 2:15. This came up in last Friday's episode of Albert Mohler's podcast (Part II of The Briefing on Friday, December 20, 2024), and I'm not sure what the correct answer would be. To say the least, double fulfillment seems like a convenient tool to make prophetic passages say whatever you want them to say, but I don't know enough to know how to demonstrate Matthew 2:15 isn't an example of it.
Methinks the new testament writers were taught by the Master himself. We should be learning from them how to read the old testament.
@MrChemenger It sounds like you're presupposing that the New Testament writers were describing the double fulfillment of prophecy. Methinks you should provide some evidence of that before jumping to conclusions, especially in the comments of a video demonstrating that to be a false conclusion of a similar passage.
@tlewis3348 oh no you misunderstand. Maybe I was not being clear. I am saying the New Testament writers were taught by Jesus how to read the OT. Messianically !!. Their method is the correct method whatever it is. Example, John's use of Zech 12 vs 10 in his gospel and the Revelation. We need to study the way the NT writers read the OT is all I am saying
@@MrChemenger Yes. I agree to some extent. However, I think it is at least possible that there are places where the writers are able to make applications that we would not be able to make today because they were inspired, and we aren't. I say that to say, even if it could be demonstrated that, in some cases, the writers were not using a strictly grammatical-historical hermeneutic, I don't think that would justify our abandonment of the hermeneutic.
We keep saying women’s role is vital, but I don’t see it. It’s secondary at best and not vital at all. The only sermons about women growing up was to tell me to shut up, cover up, and submit. How is that an important role? It’s not. Women are just property of men and godly women are servile at best.
The Bible was written thousands of years ago by men and for men. Women were just their property.
Thanks to you all for a very thoughtful, comprehensive, and gracious exchange concerning the Mohler interview. Though I reside more in the Covenant camp, I very much appreciate the cogent responses made to the clips and the manner in which you got to the heart of the issue associated with Dispensationalism as a theological system. I"m definitely going to add you to my podcast feed. Thanks again!
(22 December 2024) In an earlier post I noted that many present-day Egyptologists understand mounted horsemen as cavalry was a late adoption by Pharaoh, in the 8th century BC. This being so, suggests that the perishing of Pharaoh's horsemen in the Red Sea is an anachronism, dating the Torah's composition to no earlier than the 8th century BC. Exodus 14:23 , 14:28 KJV: "And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, AND HIS HORSEMEN...the waters returned, and covered the chariots, AND HORSEMEN, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them..." Not many Bible scholars are aware of this 8th century BC anachronism in regards to the Red Sea perishing of Pharaoh's horsemen, so here's a few quotes: p. 402, "Military an Overview...Mobile Troops:" "...cavalry (eighth century BCE) were late innovations brought to Egypt via Syria and Palestine by cultures more advanced in terms of armament and military organization: the Hurrians in the second millennium BCE and the Assyrians in the first...The fact that the potential of mounted troops was not discovered at the same time may have stemmed from technical factors: the Egyptian striking weapons- bow, spear and javelin- did not favor hand-to-hand combat, a technique that became more important at the turn of he first millennium BCE, when the sword began to affect warfare." (Andrea M. Gnirs. "Military: An Overview." Volume 2, p. 402, in Donald B. Redford, Editor in Chief. 2001. _The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt._ Oxford University Press.) While many Bible scholars are aware of the perishing of Pharaoh's horsemen in the Red Sea, few, if any, are aware cavalry was a late innovation of the 8th century BC for Egypt. Assyrian bas-reliefs at Nineveh (8th century BC) show mounted Assyrian warrior-horsemen, with swords, fighting their enemies. Assyrian cavalry apparently subdued Pharaoh's chariots and ground troops by the 8th century BC, introducing Egypt to sword-wielding cavalry as a fighting force. So, in conclusion: The perishing of Pharaoh's horsemen in the Red Sea is an important anachronism dating the Torah to no earlier than the 8th century BC.
The drivers of the chariots controlled the horses. They thus were the horsemen.
Doctor of IGNORANCE !!! Paul “ if they choose to be ignorant let them be ignorant “ dispensational truth is the ONLY way to study !
The two of the oldest bible passages, song of the sea and the song of deborah both reference parts of the exodus. These parts are the parting of the sea and the mt. Sinai.
Another interesting thing is the city the pharaoh was in where Moses performed the miracles was Tanis - Zoan; fun fact it’s mentioned in Indiana Jones
What if the Dr. Gad Barnea thesis is correct, namely, that the character of Moses does not appear in any literature before the third century BC, and suddenly appears in the 3rd century, apparently from out the intellectual hotbed of Alexandria (of which the Jews formed a part)? This would obviously, simultaneously throw the story of the exodus in doubt, perhaps leaning to the idea that it was crafted from historical events, perhaps indeed from the expulsion of the Hyksos, all as part of creating a political and religious identity for the Jews/Israel. It would certainly cast light on why the story is so hard to prove or place as historical.
The Ketef Hinnom silver scrolls with 7th Century BC Book of Numbers prayer verses on them show that the Book of Numbers preceded a Babylonian conquest and was prior to the 3rd Century BC. This included reference to Israelites and YHWH as well as Aaron. Aaron being the brother of Moses it hard not to include him in the Exodus.
Stripling doesn't mention that Adam Zertal dated the round altar on Mt. Ebal to 1250-1200 BC and the upper altar to 1200-1130 BC. Never mind where the lead fishing weigh is dated. Also, two scarabs of Rameses II were found at the lower-level altar. The ceramics there was also dated to LB2b. Extremely problematic for the Early Exodus date.
(19 December 2024) I have read Dr. Scott Stripling's arguments (pp. 25-52, in Five Views of the Exodus, Historicity, Chronology, and Theological Implications. Zondervan Academic. 2021) and have the following observations regarding Stripling's arguments: Dr. Stripling appears to favor an Exodus circa 1446 BC (cf. p. 61). I note a serious problem with this date! The problem? Prior to the Conquest of Canaan by Joshua, ca. 1406 BC, Moses awards the towns of Heshbon and nearby Elealeh to Reuben and Gad. Heshbon and Elealeh have been excavated by archaeologists, Their pottery debris is no earlier than Iron Age I (ca. 1200-1100 BC) They did not exist to be conquered by Moses ca. 1406 BC according to Dr. Stripling's time-line! As regards setting a date for the Exodus, Professor Donald B. Redford (1992) argues that it is the 1550 BC Expulsion of the Hyksos that has been recast as Israel's Exodus (cf. pp. 412-413. 1992. Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey) "There is only one chain of historical events that can accommodate this late tradition, and that is the Hyksos descent and occupation of Egypt...it is in the Exodus account that we are confronted with the "Canaanite" version of this event..." Scripture has Israel trapped at the shore of the Red Sea, here, God intervenes and drowns Pharaoh's chariots and horsemen. The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (ca. the first century AD) reckoned 50.000 horsemen perished. The problem? Modern Egyptologists understand Pharaoh had no Cavalry (mounted horsemen) until the 8th century BC, when she learned of Cavalry units from the Assyrians who briefly occupied Egypt. After Assyria withdrew from Egypt, the Egyptians apparently adopted mounted sword-wielding horsemen as part of Pharaoh's forces. If modern Egyptologists (2020 AD) are correct about horsemen being an Egyptian force only in the 8th century BC, then this has to be an example of an anachronism in the Torah, suggesting it was written no earlier, and not in Moses[' day, be that ca. 1446 BC or ca. 1260 BC Ramesses II times. Regards, Walter R. Mattfeld
Rameses II (1279-1213 BCE) Topographic list campaign year 7 (1272) region east of the Dead Sea (KRI II: 179-183; The main Late Bronze Age route connection inland from Egypt, coming from the Red Sea, crossed Edom and Moab along the “Kings’ highway”, and then descended towards the northeastern region of the Dead Sea to link up with the Jordan Valley. Ken Kitchen. Thutmose III also has a topographical campaign list with names that some translate as Ammon, Dibon and Kerak, cities in Moab and the Heshbon. What is being raided if not cities?
@@501Mobius What has any of this to do with the non existence of Heshbon and Eleleah circa 1446 BC or 1260 BC, common Exodus dates? These two sites were not in existence in the days of Thutmose III or Rameses II.
@@WalterRMattfeld You apparently don't know your geography. I can't help you.
@@501Mobius Let me set you straight: Site identifications are based on pottery debris findings by trained archaeologists. A site's name in a victory claim of a Pharaoh, should have pottery debris of that Pharaoh's world to confirm its beoing in existence in that Pharaoh's time. If it doesn't match, then either its the wrong site, or a false claim is being made by Pharaoh. Scripture claims Moses awarded Heshbon and Elealeh to Gad and ZReuben circa 1406 BC (1 Kiungs 6:1). Excavations of pottery debris reveal neither site in existence before Iron Age I, ca. 1200-1100 BC. This fact reveals that scholars are in error claiming Heshbon and Eleleah were in existence in the days of Thutmose and Rameses II. They were not in existence. If anyone has screwy ideas about sites' ages, its yourself, not me.
@@WalterRMattfeld Check out Mumford's report on Amman Airport structure. (Heshbon is 15 miles southwest of Amman) Scarabs and cylinder seals from time of Thutmose III (1650-1425 BC) (Ward 1964:47-52). Phase 6 may date as early as LB 1 (1540-1400 BC), but the overall evidence suggests a time following Thutmose III and his immediate successors, namely 1400-1300 BC. “LB 2B” attribution rests mainly on two anomalous sherds dating to Late Helladic III B1 and III B (1300-1225 BC; 1300-1190 BC). Obviously, the Iron Age site was not the correct LB site. The Heshban survey had located four Late Bronze Age sites within a six-mile radius of Heshbon. And one of those was large enough to be considered a candidate for its capital city: Tell Jalul, about five miles south of Heshan and directly east of Madaba. It was the largest site in Jordan south of Amman. Moreover, the survey showed that it contained pottery from all of the Bronze and Iron Ages. The modern name of the site has nothing to do with its ancient name, but according to Donald Redford of the University of Toronto, who studied an itinerary of King Tuthmose III through that region, it may be Abel-Keramim of Judges 11:33.
How do you separate dispensationalism from Zionism?
I have a lot of respect for you Paul Weaver and for you George Walker. George was a teacher of mine back in 2014 and 2015 at the New Tribes Mission training center in Missouri, I am a current member of Ethnos 360 and I’m sad to say that I did not understand God‘s true clear gospel that is the free grace gospel, not the repent of your sins gospel and it was only until two years after being an Ethnos 360 missionary that I finally understood the free Grace gospel. Dr. Paul Weaver, I know that you hold to the free Grace Gospel. I’m sad to say that radius might be a good organization in many ways. I’m sad to say that it is another repent of your sins organization. That is the Lordship salvation, get saved by your works message, which is not the Gospel at all. George your insight and your story about Animism is very helpful, but we need to take the right gospel to people.
I have hated being a woman. These scriptures have been very troubling to me. I don’t believe women have equal dignity and worth when their role is to be subjugated and play the sinful church while men play the role of sinless Christ. It just doesn’t make sense. I have read the entire Bible and have been very upset. The imagery of Israel and an unfaithful wife gave me nightmares. Clearly there is no equal worth or dignity. How am I supposed to love and relate to a male God? I am so sad, hurt, and confused. I wish I never read the Bible. Why should a woman even go to church when they are only told to shut up, cover up, and submit to men. What else is there to learn for a woman? It doesn’t make sense.
Dispensationalism is not biblical. We cannot critique any other faiths when dispensational teaching continues to be taught and expounded in the Protestant church.
(14 December 2024) I personally enjoyed the presentation by Dr. Scott Stirpling. I have the book he refers to about establishing a date for the Exodus, and dates proposed by four other scholars. Stirpling noted that Dr. Ronald Hendel did not believe Exodus, as portrayed in Scripture, was a real event. Hendel thought it might possibly be a muddled memory of a real event. A number of scholars gravitate between two dates for the Exodus: (1) Circa 1446 BC on the basis of 1 Kings 6:1, and its 480 years before Solomon builds the Temple. (2) Others prefer an Exodus circa 1260 BC based on the mention of city called Ramesses, built by the Hebrews, associating it with Egyptian Per-Ramesses, taking its name after Pharaoh Ramesses II. Dr. Stirpling makes a brief mention of the 1st century AD Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, who, in his book titled, _A History of the Jews,_ paraphrases parts of the TANAKH. Not so well known is that Josephus dared to contradict, at times, Holy Writ! Instead of mentioning 480 years elapsing from the Exodus to Solomon's temple, Josephus calculates 592 years elapsing, elsewhere he calculates 612 years elapsing, no where does he state 480 years as elapsing. Solomon's Temple is calculated to be ca. 967 BC by some. Add 592 + 967= 1559 BC for the Exodus Add 612+ 967= 1579 BC for the Exodus 1559 BC and 1579 BC align the Exodus from an Egypt under Hyksos domination. Josephus opined that Manetho's expulsion of the Hyksos was most likely the Egyptian version of Israel's Exodus under Moses! I am in agreement with Josephus. I am not alone: Dr. Donald B. Redford, an Egyptologist, in 1992, averred there was only one event in Egyptian history, aligning with Israel's Exodus, and that was the Hyksos Expulsion of circa 1550 BC by Pharaoh Ah-Mose I, founder of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. I agree with Redford and Josephus. Interested viewers can access my scholarly papers on the subject by googling "Academia Edu Profile Walter R. Mattfeld."
Great episode! Looking forward to subsequent interviews with Dr. Stripling.
Thanks so much! We are pleased you found this episode helpful. Thanks for viewing!
The Bible is a Catholic book the protestant Bible is an incomplete and corrupted Catholic book which I’d rip up. And it’s ONLY the holy Catholic Church that can truly and infallibly interpret the sacred scriptures NOT these individuals. You have the holy Catholic Church you have 48,000 man made protestant CULTS that serve Satan.
Doesnt the number 40 in context in the bible typically refer to 'a really long time' and not actually the preserved record?
Isn’t the difference then between those who use the Bible as the source text and those who prioritise other sources? So why do the other sources get preeminence?
I think you are correct, it is a matter of prioritization, and explaining away the numbers of the text as an issue of "genre." And we think that doesn't do justice to the text or the meaning of the original author.
Because the other sources don't contain the implausibilities (600,000 male slaves = 2.5m people), duplications (2 Plague stories interwoven), lack of evidence of an invasion of Canaan, lack of evidence in the bible of knowing the Egyptian Empire was in Canaan, contradictions (how many times does Moses go up the mountain and with who?), the Moses birth story is an echo of much older Mesopotamian stories, lack of evidence that anything resembling Judaism existed till much later. There are no Egyptologists other than committed Christians who give the Exodus story 2 seconds. If you are really want to think, rather than just stay in these Christian echo chambers, there's masses of web pages destroying the Exodus myth. Oh and any God of the Passover who directs the massacre of innocent children is not worthy of worship.

I thank the Lord for DTS! Its positive influence upon my alma mater (Piedmont Bible College) seemed indelible throughout my years of training there. Sadly, I have witnessed some slipping through more recent years in Piedmont 's (now called Carolina University) strong stance upon that which I was taught, that being new premillennial dispensationalism and a pre-tribulational rapture. Dr. Charles C. Ryrie was one of my heroes. He spoke at my graduation from Piedmont. His "Ryrie Study Bible" has been my favorite and most recommended study Bible for these many decades. I could go on and on, but will stop for now. Congratulations for 100 years! May the Lord bless on until the Rapture!
Thank you for your kind words. I too am indebted to the influence of Charles Ryrie. Ryrie study Bible was my first study Bible. He taught me as an 18 year old at the Word of Life Bible Institute. He spoke at my graduation service as well at Appalachian Bible College. He was kind enough to take a couple interviews with me in research for a PhD paper I did on his theological method. Have you seen the two episodes released on Charles Ryrie? They can be viewed here: ua-cam.com/video/jzLdUEFFtOs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
The main Kabbalists, Chabad, have funded this seminary to the tune of millions of dollars for years to teach a physical Jewish supremacy over the earth (PreTrib Rapture and Dispensationalism).
That is a ridiculous and uninformed comment.
Thanks Dr. Weaver!
My pleasure! Thanks for listening!
