Query #2

C'mon now, let's talk about the difference between dispensationalism and covenantalism and whether another view exists. It seems that the Mohler brethren (Al and David) are not dispensationalists, but I can't hardly picture brother David in covenantal garb.
Enlighten me, is there another view?

Further, without getting too deep, can another view be formulated that doesn't make the covenantal or dispensational mistakes. Admit it, there are problems with both views.

Go light on the Greek please.

Query #1

I have got to post something and retire last Christmas' post. The bummer is that I really don't have anything but questions. It is difficult to come up with a clear, concise, cohesive exhortation or expostulation when all you want to do is ask questions... Alas, I have two queries but I shall make you wait for the second until the first is sufficiently aired.

The other evening our church fellowship men got together and listened to two of our spiritual leaders talk to us about spirit leadership. The discussion that followed produced the following comment from one of my older fellow members. This particular portion of discussion was centered around the necessity to continue (next winter) with the meetings that we were finishing. Directly following a request from one young man to have more meetings that were taught from a book of the Bible, say Revelation, or something like that, this older man piped up and said that he didn't think it was necessary to bring the Bible into our meetings because he has heard before that "you can prove anything from the Bible."
I'll have to say that I was incensed. However, I haven't had a chance to talk this man yet.
Hint: here comes the question, What would you say?
