Historic Premillennialism has gained renewed interest and visibility among some modern theologians. This resurgence is partly due to its appeal as a more traditional view than Dispensational Premillennialism, which, as you pointed out, is waning.

Modern Teacher
More modern teachers of historic premillennialism include George Eldon Ladd of the Fuller Theological Seminary, Walter Martin, John Warwick Montgomery, J. Barton Payne, Henry Alford (a noted Greek scholar), and Theodor Zahn, a German New Testament scholar, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr OT scholar, Conwell Theological Seminary.

Canadian Theologian Oswell Smith (1889-1986) converted from dispensationalism to
Historical Premillennialism.

@Elise_Bergeron1 They are probably Devil Pups. Their training emphasizes the development of leadership skills and physical fitness of youth between the ages of 14 and 17.

@AiG Belief in an Old Earth is supported Biblically.

Young Earth believers add a time-frame error to the Scriptures that is not supported by the old Seventh-day Adventist doctrine that modern YEC repeats blindly.

Historical Premillennialism, not the dispensational pre-tribulation rapture, was supported in the early church by Papias, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Pseudo-Barnabas, Methodius, Lactantius, Commodianus, Theophilus, Melito, Hippolytus of Rome, Victorinus of Pettau, Nepos, Julius Africanus, Tatian, and Montanus.

@Marshmutt452 @5Solas Like all humans, he was a sinner.

@JameezTweets @5Solas Name the early Christians you claim are condemning whatever it is you are referring to.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

Sola Scriptura

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

Jesus wrote on the ground and warned the stone-throwers about their sins.
And guess what? They all left. John 8: 1-11

You can throw all the stones you want at King Solomon, but even the world's riches and the ugly things Solomon did could not keep God from calling Solomon back to Him.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

@WJayHorsley @5Solas Yes, even the world's richness could not keep God from calling Solomon back to Him.

Replacement Theology Arguments Pro and Cons

Replacement Theology is a historical concept, but dispensationalists distort the historical record to support their claim that the Church age will end at the pre-tribulation rapture. Then Israel will recognize their Messiah, Jesus Christ, and will be a witness to Christ as Savior, Lord, and King during the seven-year tribulation.

The Church, as well as believing and unbelieving Israelites, will be going through the tribulation, and Christ will return at the end of the tribulation.

The Olive Tree in Romans Chapter 11
1. One cultivated olive tree: The people of God - A living organism.
2. The root of the olive tree: Israel’s patriarchs as recipients and conveyors of God’s covenantal promises - Basic means of support and nourishment.
3. Natural branches: Israelites -Natural extension of the living organism.
4. Natural branches broken off: Non-Christian Israelites - Disconnected from the living organism.
5. Wild olive shoot from an uncultivated olive tree: Gentiles - Not naturally related to the living organism.
6. Wild olive shoot engrafted into the cultivated olive tree: Gentile Christians - Attached extension of the living organism.

11. Second Resurrection - The rest of the dead, i.e., Gog & Magog - Rev 20:5.

Replacement Theology:

Replacement Theology is a historical concept, but dispensationalists distort the historical record to support their claim that the Church age will end at the pre-tribulation rapture, which is wrong.

However, Israel will recognize their Messiah, Jesus Christ, and will be a witness to Christ as Savior, Lord, and King during the seven-year tribulation.

The Church and Israel will experience tribulation, and Christ will return at the end of it.

The Olive Tree in Romans Chapter 11:

1. One cultivated olive tree: The people of God - A living organism.

2. The root of the olive tree: Israel’s patriarchs as recipients and conveyors of God’s covenantal promises - Basic means of support and nourishment.

3. Natural branches: Israelites -Natural extension of the living organism.

4. Natural branches broken off: Non-Christian Israelites - Disconnected from the living organism.

5. Wild olive shoot from an uncultivated olive tree: Gentiles - Not naturally related to the living organism.

6. Wild olive shoot engrafted into the cultivated olive tree: Gentile Christians - Attached extension of the living organism.

Note: The Natural branches are easier to graft back into the tree. And many Israelites will be grafted back into the tree.

See John Chapter 15, the vine passage.

@thesaviorweneed @RTB_HRoss Inform yourself by reading Meyer’s book. He has the credentials to correct Darwin's failed assumptions about evolution. Definitely, a lot of evidence is provided.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

Read Darwin's Doubt.

Meyer documents the historical and scientific evidence that Darwinian evolution is a failed assumption.

Modern Evolution theories keep changing because they are assumptions built on fake evidence and deception, with no empirical foundation to support their mythological hopes that God will not judge them.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

@thesaviorweneed @RTB_HRoss There is no evidence for large-scale changes that produce new species.

All of Charles Darwin’s challenges in his Origin of Species have been debunked.

He was a breeder of animals, but he made assumptions that have been proven wrong.

See Stephen Meyer's book Darwin's Doubt.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

The Myth that weaponized lasers from Satellites cause wires in homes to produce plasma and burn down the house is debunked.

Note: Ionized gas must be introduced to create the plasma along the house’s wires. The isolation itself cannot create the ionized gases required to sustain the burning process, no matter how hot the laser targeting the house overheats the wire.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

@thesaviorweneed @RTB_HRoss Not the definition of macroevolution; note the complete definition given previously.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

Microevolution refers to small-scale evolutionary changes within a species, such as changes in allele frequencies over time.

Breeding animals or fruit trees are examples.

Macroevolution involves larger-scale changes that occur at or above the species level, including the evolution of new species.

There are no examples of this process occurring. It is a conspiracy myth that dates back to the 18th century.

[Marcus Lopez @MarcusLopeux]

@thesaviorweneed @RTB_HRoss It would be a microevolutionary, not a macroevolutionary, cause.
