Dispensationalism, the Restrainer and the NKJV
As much as I appreciate the New King James Version for both its textual basis and philosophy of translation I was disappointed to find a theological insertion. At this particular point they deviated from principled translation protocols and made a judgment call. The judgment favours a certain type of theology but is without substantial textual basis. It is therefore misleading and ought to be corrected.
Are we New Testament Christians?
Sometimes this charge is made and the
implication is that to be labeled a New Testament Christian is a negative
thing, it is to neglect the whole testimony of Scripture. The charge is common
among those who in particular wish to implement aspects of the Old Testament
with regard to law and government. Dominionism which undergirds both Roman
Catholic and the vast majority of Protestant thought rests on such an
assumption.
