I thought it was quite good. His response to the land promises:

was lacking in the beginning. I do think he could have driven a wooden stake through the heart of that claim made by Dispensationalists that Israel has never occupied the land promised by simply noting that the conquest of the land was to be gradual (Ex 23:29ff) and was finally accomplished during the time of Solomon:

Quote
1 Kings 4:21 (ASV) "And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life."

However, the rest of his refutation of the land claim was quite good. I too like to point out that Dispensationalists hold that the animal sacrifices will be re-introduced during the alleged literal 1000 year Millennium, which would be a regression of God's progressive revelation and make the atonement of Christ of secondary value at best.

Overall, I think he did a nice job. grin
