question and answer

Question: In the August TBC you lump D. James Kennedy and R.C. Sproul with denominations that have promoted a boycott against companies doing business with Israel [1]. Dr. Kennedy has taken no part in such boycotts.

Response: No, denominations that "have initiated a boycott..." were mentioned in one sentence, Kennedy and Sproul in the next. I was specific that the latter "have rejected modern Israel [1] as of any significance in the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

There was no link between boycotting denominations and these two Calvinists. I gave no reason to imagine that Kennedy and Sproul promoted any boycott against Israel [1]. I simply showed that their teachings re Israel [1] reject God's "everlasting covenant" (Gn 17:7, 19; 1 Chr:16:17And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
See All... [2]
, etc.) with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, denying God's repeated promise of the land of Canaan to these patriarchs and their descendants for an "everlasting possession" (Gn 13:15; 17:8; 48:4, etc.).
