The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Fred Malone a dispensationalist?

Hello J.E.,
Isn't it rather droll that you are coming to Fred Malone for support and I to the WCF? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif" alt="" />

The term, 'Covenant of Redemption' seems to be an American term rather than an English one. Actually, I don't really have a problem with it. My purpose up to now has been to show that 'Covenant od Redemption' and 'Covenant of Grace' are not Biblical terms, but human constructs, which may be helpful in understanding God's saving purposes in Christ, but which should not be pressed too far.

Isn't it interesting that the phrase 'Covenants of Promise' which IS found in the Bible, attracts so little attention from theologians (including Malone) compared with the other two terms. Perhaps you might care to address yourself to this question whilst I am on holiday? What are the Covenants of Promise? And why does Paul use that term whilst eschewing the other two?

BTW, a swift trawl through Spurgeon on Psalm LXXII did not reveal a 'Covenant of Redemption' (though I may have missed it). I did however see a reference to 'the Better Covenant' by which, of course he meant, the New Covenant. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Every blessing,
Steve
