@@Eric-d1o Maybe, but for context , according to Wycliffe translators, many languages in the globe still don't have scripture in their mother tongue. I believe that the progress of scriptural translation, which is exploding, is a indicator on when the fullness of the gentiles can be approximated.
Have you considered the lack of the focus of the gospel to include principly the bodily return of Christ. Hebrews in particular makes this a main focus indeed.
Great point Evangelicalism has protology and soteriology but has dropped the ball on a robust focus on eschatology. This includes the reformed tradition unfortunately. As long as people are bounced around from pretermism to historicism to idealism and futurism hermeneutics with regard to the book of revelation confusion abounds and there can be no clarion call. How is it that we think God wants the beginning of redemptive history and the process of it made clear while leaving its culmination in a cloud of mystery ?
How many Christians are there going to the? North Sentinel Island to preach the gospel there to those people who have never seen the outside world because in the Bible it says that the word must be preached to everybody for Jesus to come back that means they have to hear it too any Christians with enough resources please go to that island and preach the gospel so our Lord King can come back
So the Gospel is always lost by legalism? Hmmm really? There are waaaay more "do whatever you want, everything is relative" kind of churches than you think Jon. The two of you are very close to _Free Grace Theology_ and think everything is about moralism and pietism, when the fact is that churches don't really confront sin the way they should. And no, I am not saying that we save ourselves or that humans can stop sinning, but that modern culture has infiltrated churches so much to the point that there is not a need for a savior. Most of so called "Christians" go to church to feel at peace with a higher power called "Jesus" through the means of a mere intellectual persuasion, and they call that "faith".
@@johndavolta3124 Umm, they hold to a Calvinistic perspective/theology. Teaching: Only a pre-selected elect few will irresistibly turn to Christ consequently all others CAN'T... that's another gospel.
@@johndavolta3124 Perhaps you haven't heard what I have heard from their mouths. They teach & proclaim Calvinism/Reformed Theology. They make no bones about it. That's why these guys are so dangerous. The under-discipled think they are doctrinally sound, when they are through & through Calvinistic.
@@johndavolta3124 Not true. They are self admitted Calvinists/Reformed Theology followers. Believe what you will, but I have heard them proudly proclaim it.
The fullness of the gentiles is just about done..... We're at the end of the church age.

I have no idea how to interpret scripture. Who should I trust to guide me?

Great point

Theocast approaches everything, especially soteriology from a Calvinistic perspective... which is not biblical.
@@mikelyons2831 they are closer to _Free Grace Theology_ than you think, which is dispensational

@@mikelyons2831 but that is only in theory. In practice they are closer to Gree Grace.
