Hi friends
I came across some bible commentaries on the net from above Doctor. Can anybody tell me who he is? I cannot find a biography on him and I was just wondering in what camp he is?
In His grace and peace

I have never heard of him, but maybe you can find out what he says about Bibles verses like John 6:37 and Romans chapter 9. That should help in finding out what camp he is in.

Hi Tom Well, we're fortunate. He appears to be a prolific commentator on John 6:37 he writes: Happily, however, there would be those who would respond. ‘All whom the Father gives to me will come to me.’ It is impossible to avoid here the suggestion that in the end those who truly come do so because the Father chooses them out, for the ‘giving’ is before the ‘coming’. John continually quite clearly depicts the difference between those whose faith is temporary and based on the emotion of a moment, and those whose faith is permanent and lasting, and he sees Jesus as demonstrating that this results from the work of the Father. It is because they have been given to Him by the Father.
‘And the one who comes to me I will not reject for any reason whatsoever’. Once a man has been called by God and responds there is not the slightest chance of his being rejected, for he is part of the Father’s gift to His Son. For Romans 9 I can't say as he apparently hasn't written a commentary on that epistle yet. But I give the link to the pages that gives access to all his other commentaries. http://www.geocities.com/revelationofjohn/index.htmlI personally was impressed with his commentary on Daniel's seventieth week and Revelation 7 on the 144.000 sealed. He appears to follow Hendriksen in his eschatology. in His grace Jim

I read a small portion of his introduction to Genesis and I wasn't impressed at all. He rejects the tradition view that God gave to Moses all that he wrote and said that Moses gathered together many writings he found on clay tablets most of the Pentateuch. Further he rejects the traditional view of creation; i.e., 6 24-hour days and seems to embrace some form of the Framework Hypothesis. In that section he never offers any exegetical reason why he rejects "yom" as a 24-hour day. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" />

Oops!
Thanks for checking that part out, Pilgrim. What a pity, as he looked promising on the prophecy part.
I agree with you. It isn't at all impressive when you cannot take the first 5 books as inspired. He was speaking somewher about the bible being inerrant. It is hard to reconcile this with his interpretation of the first 5 books
