Like most everything else from Gary DeMar, this article is undiluted nonsense.

This means that...Me means you...Black means white...

Ruined the Rapture and Pre-Millienialism on one word and someone’s opinion of what the ‘original’ Greek interpretation of that word is...

Sure, I’ll buy that...You got a bridge I can buy as well???

He believes that the interpretive methodology of dispensational premillennialism is inexorably linked to the way its advocates defend their position on creation.

Which is why his work is a pile of dung. Dispensational premillenialism is a natural result of the historical grammatical approach to biblical interpretation combined with proper theological method. What he is proposing as an explanation is incoherent.

Sheesh. The problem is easily solved by discarding the "new testament" (and its Greek language) altogether.

And as far as the "new testament's" claim that "this" is a fulfillment of "that," one has to first believe in the authority of the "new testament" before one accepts any of its claims. This means "proving" the claims by merely quoting them is an exercise in circular reasoning.

Gary DeMar should check out the website reformation.org, owned by Niall Kilkenny. That website promotes a young earth and a global flood, yet Niall Kilkenny is not a dispensationalist. She is a historicist.

How will we ever convince skeptics of the truthfulness of the Bible...??

Since when did Christians like DeMar take it upon themselves to do the work of the Holy Spirit?

so you have a dispensationalist who says "this" means "that" and you have non-dispensationalist who say "all" doesn't mean "all". So it seems both camps play the same game.
