Reformed Eschatology Ping List (REPL)

"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled." (Luke 21:22)

[Dr. Eckleburg]

How will we ever convince skeptics of the truthfulness of the Bible when it is distorted to defend interpretations where "this" means "that," and "this is that" actually means "this is like that"? An evolutionist like Ruse may rightly argue that if Morris can make "this generation," with its obvious first-century meaning, "have the emphasis" of "that generation" (distant future), then why can't the time element of Genesis 1 (the use of yom= a 24-hour day) "have the emphasis" of long ages of time? Maybe the days of Genesis 1 are just like 24-hour days, given dispensational hermeneutics. If time indicators in the NT are not interpreted literally, then why must they be interpreted literally in the OT? The dispensationalists have a big problem on their hands, and so do the creationist ministries that tolerate their eschatological hermeneutic.

Interesting article. Dispensationalists are reaping what they've sown.
