I recently heard someone say, and I think it's true, You don't interpret the New Testament in light of the Old Testament, but rather you interpret the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. A big disagreement that I could see between Michael Brown and Steve Gregg is that Michael Brown takes many of the Old Testament prophecies literally and therefore says they have not yet been fulfilled. Steve Gregg takes them spiritually and therefore says that they have been fulfilled in Christ Jesus. So the question is, who is interpreting the scriptures correctly?

Interesting. I would love to hear how that Jewish rabbi explained the meaning of "Israel".

That would be Dr. Brown. I'm in agreement with his opponent, Steve Gregg. I also used to be dispensationalist/Zionist but came out of that with a lot of help from listening to Steve Gregg's teachings.

Because you lumped all off them into one group.

I wasn't assuming you're a Christian or not; I was just asking you what you profess. And also asking why you say that I don't know what it means to be Christian or non-Christian?

Non-Christians seem to be able to really enjoy sin. I don't think a #Christian really can. They might in the moment, but afterwards there is sorrow...
