Dr. Couch, you have had some interesting answers to Progressive
Dispensationalism in the past that I really appreciated. Any new
thoughts about it?
ANSWER: I understand from a reliable source that one of the "creators" of this off-beat view has recanted his
position that Christ is reigning on the throne of David in Psalm 110:1-4.
All of us dispensationalists who translate from the Hebrew text knew this all along. This guy, by the way, graduated from a big liberal European University and was
tainted in his biblical views. He is one of the founders of this position.
By the way one of their most silly views is that the church does not have a
"heavenly destiny," whatever that means. Again, remember that the PDs come
to the Bible with their preconceived views and then try to substantiate them
with Scripture. An old-line premillennialist and dispensationalist like me,
goes to the text to Observe what the Bible says. I let it speak to me; I don’t speak to it first!
The Bible makes clear that the church indeed has a heavenly destiny.
Read 1 Peter 1:4. God "has caused us to be born again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance
which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU."
End of argument!
Please stop following aberrant and dumb views from folks who just like
"the new" for variety sake, and not for the sake of spiritual truth! Stay on
the main highway and do not go onto the rocky, bumpy back road. I believe in
ACADEMICS but they are into ACADEMIA! Beware!
Thanks for asking.
Dr. Mal Couch
