Andy Stanley wants to "Unhitch" the O.T. from the N.T.

I listened to his speech

 

I heard no wheels fall off.

 

He is not a Calvinist, so its a given you will like very little he says.

 

I'll go a step further and say Messianic prophecy is a must in Christianity is to be understood in all its fullness.

 

I do not typically post articles and run but this article was shared today by Phil Johnson and it is germane to our discussion.

Marcion and Getting Unhitched from the Old Testament

The fatal flaw in this viewpoint of Andy Stanley though is the very same OT he wants to throw out for us today, was still inspired by the Spirit, and was approved by Jesus Himself!

 

The NC would be the OC promises tous now being fulfilled in total with that NC. correct?

 

Yes, as that is the framework on which they base their infant water baptism upon!

 

Full context of what though, as per him, he plainly wants the Christian not to have anything to do with the OT now, as we just have to rely upon our Bible, the NT itself!

 

Adam was created with a sinless nature, were we?

 

Don't know what you mean by "Dispensationalism run amok." Properly understood, dispensationalism does not divorce the OT and NT, but carefully considers God's plan through the ages. As I tell my students, dispensationalism is partly a philosophy of history.

To quote Eugene Merrill, "The approach here, then, is diachronic, an approach that seeks to discover God's plan for history in the Old Testament Era, before the Christ appeared, and as it was progressively revealed by God and recorded in the sacred texts inspired by Him" ("God's Plan for History Prior to Christ, Ch. 5 in Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption, ed. by D. Jeffrey Bingham and Glenn R. Kreider, p. 123).

 

That's not at all what he said. I really have not figured out why Andy is so hard for many to understand. He advocates milk for babies and meat for adults. He considers the O.T. meat.

 

Interesting that his meat would be discarded away though!

 

Where I video did he say "discard" the O.T?

 

Not be bound to it anymore

 

Spoiled milk and rotted meat.

 

This is not a C vs A thing. I would lambaste any Calvinist if they did what Andy is repeatedly doing.

 

The reason why Andy Stanley is so hard to understand.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;[John 10:27]

He is speaking a language they can’t understand.

 

Where is that "interpreter of tongues" when we need them?
