1 | THE APOCALYPSE CODE, Have U read it? | Rom 11:17 | justme | 191334 | ||
Searcher56: I appreciate you opinion. Were ther other things you could say after you read the book? I have read it twice and found several areas that will bound to bring attention to the Bible Answer Man, and will effect his support. There are many who would be dogmaticly against the whole book. However, this is exactally what was taught to me at Midwestern Theological Seminary (SBC) in Kansas City, MO. I am not sure they teach that mow some 25 years later. justme |

2 | THE APOCALYPSE CODE, Have U read it? | Rom 11:17 | BradK | 191354 | ||
Hello justme, I have a little perspective to shed on this matter that will hopefuly stimulate serious thought and discussion. Since hearing about this book (The Apocalypse Code) on The Bible Answer Man: 1. Hanegraff seems to be hawking his book at every opportunity from my numerous recent listenings to the program. Not that that is in itself bad, but... I find that a bit self-serving. Numerous comments he's made on the show would leave me with a few questions, and some points of disagreement; 2. I purchased the recent Christian Research Journal with the title topic: The Apocalypse Code. I read the article and I'm not convinced that Hanegraff is completely right. He offers some merits but seems to lump all those he disagrees with into one barrel, i.e he "throws the baby out with the bath water"; 3. I found a very well-written and balanced critique of his book by Norman Geisler. It can be viewed at www.normangeisler.com. While he brings up his points of agreement with, he also offers several points of disagreement worth noting. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | THE APOCALYPSE CODE, Have U read it? | Rom 11:17 | Val | 191404 | ||
Brad, thank you for pointing out this critique by Norman Geisler. After reading it I am sad to see the divide that has occurred between Mr. Hanegraff and himself as well as others. It seems Satan causes upheaval everywhere. I have done a Precept study on "Covenants" and it was wonderful. God has made certain promises to Israel that He has not made to the church. A study of the covenants of the bible helped me to see those clearly. May God bless you. Val | ||||||
4 | THE APOCALYPSE CODE, Have U read it? | Rom 11:17 | rabban | 191412 | ||
Having read the review by Norman Geisler I am afraid that my view is that he is equally as guilty of misrepresentation and glossing over other peoples's views as Hank Hanegraff. Norman Geisler is clearly unaware (I will assume that it was accidental) of the views of many amillennialists and totally misrepresents their position. I am an amillennialist and I would be ashamed to hold the beliefs and interpretations that according to Norman Geisler I am supposed to hold. Unlike him I believe that the Old Testament must be interpreted in the way in which the New Testament interprets it. Nor would I agree that a literal interpretation of Revelation 20 demands a millennium. No millennium ON EARTH is mentioned there. These are gross misrepresentations although I am sure they are due to his lack of knowledge of what other people hold. However to be fair to Norman Geisler he does make clear that he does not fall out with amillennialists over their views as he considers such matters secondary as indeed they are. So it does not seem to me as if there is a divide between the two. If we cannot amicably disagree over a series of doctrines that will affect none of us (hopefully) then there is something very wrong with Christianity. I do not intend to say any more on the topic on this forum, but as my previous posting made clear I believe that the church IS Israel (not just a spiritual Israel). I will not fall out with anyone about it. But I certainly do not believe that God has made any promises that do not apply to the church as Israel. Most of you have your own settled positions on the subject, and that is fine. Stick to them. But please let us not demonise Hank Hanegraff or any who hold amillennial or postmillennial views. If anyone does have quetions raised by what I have said and would like to discuss them please contact me on jonrobb1@lycos.com. I will be happy to discuss them amicably. It is foolish to fall out about a future that none of us can possibly know about. It is equally foolish to say that the people who do not believe our particular angle are not faithful to the word of God. They can (wrongly) say the same about us. That is all I intend to say on the matter. but I did feel it necessary to make this position clear. |

Hello rabban, Thank you for your well-spoken, loving insights on this and other posts. Though we would differ in our distinction between Israel and the Church and eschatology, these are indeed, secondary matters:-) I would not call it demonizing of Hank Hanegraff to simply disagree with him- which I do. He is entitled to his view, but he is by no means the spokesman for Christianity. While he is intelligent and astute, he has no formal education in theology, yet heads one the "premier" apologetic ministries. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
