Can We Keep It?

Posted on December 12, 2018 by ehurst

We emphasize the continuity between the Old and New Testaments. This is exactly backwards from what the Reformation did. Reformed theology is the basis for Dispensationalism, that heretical belief that the only proper understanding of God’s hand in human history … Continue reading →

Teachings of Jesus — Luke 12:49-53

Posted on December 8, 2018 by ehurst

Posted on November 27, 2018 by ehurst
