kingdom of God, that Christ offered an earthly kingdom to the Jews at His first coming,
that Gentile salvation . . . occurred only because the Jews rejected His offer, and that God
will revert to the old covenant in the Millennium.”9

Medina is really a nice guy ... his heart is in the right place ... just entrenched in a lot of tradition and people pleasing.

Sometimes it's perceived truth and not always tradition, IMO.

Re: Segraves and OPs re-examine dispensationalism?
Alot of times people defend things and take positions because they're expected to and their affliation demands that they so without really understanding why they teach what they do.
Christians must know what they believe and why they believe it.
If one takes a stand on a doctrinal issue they must be able to reconcile their views with scripture.

Simple. Because they were told it.
A person can be made to think that ANY random bible verse means anything the person teaches, says it does -with enough repetition, forcefulness, and personality.
This is why it is SO important to occasionally read it while deliberately pretending that you are reading it for the first time with NO prior knowledge.

I thought I had heard that Larry Smith was the author of the original SFT study. If that is incorrect, please accept my apology and correct my error.

His work was "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth". It was a good study but not one to give to everyone. At the end of the study you had to make a decision to give your life to God. Not sure it would be a good study for every individual.
