Thanks. I actually have a lot of respect for Ken Gentry, and have attended at least one seminar where he spoke. He is a brilliant man. I also respect the work of Gary DeMar who is doing quite a bit through American Vision to bring back the works of the Reformers, and who is also a gifted writer. Likewise Bahnsen, whose apologetics are unassailable. These learned and committed men are not to be dismissed by those who have not devoted a lifetime to research and learning as they have.
That said, I continue to read and pray about the eschatology issue, maintaining my view that prophecy in the Bible can be fulfilled in more than one way and at more than one time. As an example I would cite Isaiah 7:14-17 in the context of the place in which the prophecy was given.
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT ANYONE SAYS INCLUDING ME OR GENTRY OR FR POSTERS OR ANY GROUP OR CHURCH OR YOUR OWN PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS. HUMBLE YOURSELF, OPEN YOUR BIBLE READ AND ASK JESUS TO SHOW YOU THE TRUTH. EVERYONE SEES THOUGH A GLASS DIMLY. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER DEUT 29:29. I DO NOT KNOW IS ALWAYS A WISE ANSWER.
