Dr Stanley Jebb on Covenant Theology

"The emphasis should not be on “the covenant” as there are many, but on the God of the covenants and the blessings of the NEW covenant".

Dr Stanley Jebb - "Federal Vision" - Alethinos Reflections - July 28, 2009

Mark Dever on the Song of Songs

Pah ...

"It seems to me that it is best to understand Song of Songs as a song or collection of sings that are, well, basically human love poems. This seems like the natural and literal meaning of the text doesn't it? ... In This way lovers are lovers and desire is desire. We might be embarrassed - at least in a sermon - by all the talk about breasts and kisses and embracing arms, but we understand it ... Song of Songs is certainly an important book about marital love".

Mark Dever - "Song of Songs: Wisdom for the Married" - in "The Message of the Old Testament" - Crossway Books, Illinois (2006) - (p553-554)

Bill Johnson on Old and New Covenant

"For the believer it is theologically immoral to allow an Old Testament revelation of God to cancel or contradict the perfect and clear manifestation of God in Jesus".

R T Kendall on the Proper Use of the Law

"What is the proper use of the Law?

1. It shows the righteousness that God requires.

2. It shows the righteousness that Christ fulfilled as our substitute.

3. It serves as a backdrop by which we can tell if we are walking in the Spirit".

R T Kendall - "Grace" - Charisma House Publications, Florida (2006) - (p65).

R T Kendall on the Gospel and Law

"The gospel was virtually complete in itself in Abraham before the Law came in. The plan of salvation is given as though there had never been the Law in the first place. We are saved by faith alone ... we are not saved because we are now going to keep the Law. We are now going to keep the Law. We are not saved because we are now going to stop doing this and that ... if that continues to be our way of trying to get saved then we will never be saved".

R T Kendall - "Grace" - Charisma House Publications, Florida (2006) - (p63).

R T Kendall on the Fulfillment of the Law

"Moses gave the Law but couldn't fulfill it. Joshua perpetuated the Law (Joshua 1:8) but couldn't satisfy it's demands. King David loved the Law (Psalm 119:163) but broke it. The prophets upheld the Law but couldn't keep it as required. The Levites carried out the Law but still came short of it. The Pharisees and Sadducees and teachers of the Law argued about it but did not have a clue as to it's deeper meaning".

R T Kendall - "Grace" - Charisma House Publications, Florida (2006) - (p27).

Rob Rufus on a Life Mixed with Law and Grace

"A mixture of law and grace, of Old Covenant and New Covenant life is a mongrel religion. God wants you to have the pure pedigree of the Old Covenant condemnation or the pure pedigree of the New Covenant grace. Have a look at people who are living under a mixture of law and grace or under law - see how miserable their lives are, see how easily they are offended, get judgemental, become weird and imbalanced. Look at people who live under grace and you see imperfect people who make mistakes but you will see an authority and authenticity and integrity in them. You will see a power in their lives, intimacy with God with a balanced life".
