It is often wise to consult those who came before us, but to quote them as if that settles the question is not wise...Baptist or not.

I don't see your point.
Romans 11:1
I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. -

And I explained the Biblical basis for Covenant theology. A Covenant is not "an agreement" but a God originated promise of redemption by the LORD Jesus Christ.

And I'd be pretty foolish to participate in a debate on the BB without thinking I'm right and everyone in the opposing camp is wrong. :D And do you really, actually believe that you guys can convince me? (Icon seems to think I'm backslidden, anti-Bible, poorly educated in theology, etc., so why wouldn't I immediately admit my ignorance and jump on his various bandwagons! :rolleyes:)
As for my attitude, did you see Icon's last post? Looks to me like he thinks he's always right and I'm totally, completely wrong, and that I avoid all of his points. :confused: Actually, I freely admit it. I avoid some of his points because they are off topic, too wordy, illogical and impossible to follow. "In the multitude of words there wanted not sin" (Prov. 10:19). -

For anyone who believes Icon's supercilious attack here, I have taken 13 hours of grad theology, some of which I didn't need but wanted. In the process I was required to read entire systematic theologies that taught covenant theology (one systematic theology per 2 credit course). I understand the system, am thoroughly educated in it, and reject it. -

Heavy sarcasm alert. :D
Oh, no. I am now deeply conflicted. :confused: I just got a research paper from one of my students in the two week block I just taught on "Dispensational Theology." This lovely young lady wrote about "Covenant Theology and its Effects on the Church." But Icon thinks I don't even understand Covenant Theology since I haven't replied to all of his minutiae. What shall I do, what shall I do? Any suggestions? :Frown:Redface -

"Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." (Romans 11:25) -

Well, there are those pesky pretierists and their spiritual views on the resurrection/Second Coming, and those whose views would be that God totally forever rejected Israel , correct? Only way to get there is throiugh spiritualizing totally prophetic scriptures!

First of all Covenant theology starts in the late 1500s with people like Robert Rollock of Edinburgh, and reached its golden age with Flavel, Brooks, Manton and John Owen in the 1600s. Get it right.
Your constant bragging about your supposed knowledge is getting a bit wearing. Have a read of Acts 4:13 and 2 Timothy 3:7.
Then give it a rest. Or prove that you have it by getting your facts right. -

In the same way a resume has a purpose, I simply meant to show to readers that Icon's attacks on me not understanding the theology were false. I do understand the theology because I was taught it. Was I then wrong to defend myself?
As for the history of covenant theology, thanks for the corrections. But my point to prophecy70 still stands: the age a theology has been around is not proof of its value or lack of value.
Acts 4:13--So shall we glorify ignorance because of this verse? I don't think that honors God. -
