@MeeplePastor I also suffer from em-dash-aholism

@CoryMMarsh2 Unfortunately, a signature of my writing style is using em-dashes 🫤

One of the obvious proofs that my writing is not AI is my obsessive use of the temporal “while” instead of the concessive “though.” I see that (human) error in just about everything I’ve ever written.

I enjoyed being on this new podcast of historians assessing American evangelicalism. Myself and Vincent Bacote offer two different, yet complementary perspectives. My take stems from my new book published by @Christian_Focus called Recovering a Vintage Faith: Five Fundamentals of Evangelical Identity. buzzsprout.com/2610661/episod…

@pj_schreiner @rhyneputman I think the Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary series is a noble attempt to bridge the gap.

A case for theological commentaries: One reason pastors (and others in the church) may struggle more with dogmatic categories than with biblical-theological ones is that most modern commentaries rarely engage dogmatic theology in a sustained way. As a result, many pastors are not trained to ask these questions or to recognize the theological resources available to them. Instead, they must turn to separate systematic theology works to learn these categories. The church would be better served if scholars began incorporating dogmatic reflection directly into commentaries. These discussions would also become more practical and pastorally useful when tied closely to specific texts and verses rather than remaining at the level of abstract theory.

amzn.to/4wCCNHA THE SUPPOSED EVANGELICAL VOTE Political polls are academic and theoretical, and are hardly ever trustworthy. Questions are framed in a certain way and people of certain ethnicities and economic statuses targeted. An 'evangelical vote' determined by skin tone, affluence, or FICO score is entirely superficial and manufactured. Let’s put an end to ethnic polling being the determinative factor in what makes someone a Christian, Protestant, or evangelical! This means at the very least there is no such thing as the 'evangelical vote.' None whatsoever. It is completely fabricated by those who have made up the senseless term. It ends up feeding a secular media that craves viewers by exploiting Christianity and especially evangelicalism. Link to the book in comments below.

As a biblical-theological system, dispensationalism is tied together by the Bible’s consistent portrayal of the rule of God over the various administrations extending throughout the biblical canon for the purpose of God’s self-glorification.

Always a pleasure to be on TftC podcast. Here’s a relevant takeaway from the convo: Vintage Evangelicalism is NOT a political movement.

Interesting how “gun violence” and “mental health” are not phrases the Left uses with politically motivated murders and assassination attempts. It’s almost like owning / using guns is okay for those efforts, and are deemed justifiable.

@DrAlanKurschner Good move. Everyone eventually blocks him

@CoryMMarsh2 Thanks for the heads up. I blocked him I am usually patient but there is a point of personal attacks.

When was the 70th week fulfilled?

@DrAlanKurschner Despite their gap-phobia they also place a gap between the ascension of Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. They fail to recognize a gap is necessary on all accounts (even if only decades); it’s simply the length of the gap that’s debated.

It’s funny to hear preterists say there’s no gap in the 70 weeks of Daniel; yet they place a gap between the first coming of Jesus and AD 70!

Novice writers think that the more words they include the better it is. Seasoned writers know it’s better to manage their economy of words and say more with less.

A proper definition of Biblicism: “The commitment to the authority, perspicuity, and sufficiency of Scripture which is rooted in the presupposition that the Bible ought to be understood according to its own terms.” Click the link for a (very) brief primer. share.google/wPgNLmxTQM2m4L…

@thescottbarber What does this pic have to do with dispensationalism?

Okay WHERE ARE THE DISPENSATIONALISTS

What a crazy thing to say: “Evangelicalism shouldn’t be categorized according to political blocs, Christian celebrities, race, or other evangelicals adopting the nomenclature like progressives, feminists, transgenders, gay Christians, etc. as is often the case today. Rather, it should be classified by its vintage doctrinal expression that results in behavior befitting of genuine, evangelical identity.” Full interview below.
