New Wine for the End Times

Seven major problems are solved by applying Old Testament Jewish eschatology to the New Testament Church:

1) Calvinism vs. Arminianism (election vs. free-will).  Solving this major Church divider without the use of paradoxes, or two sides of the same coin.

2) Salvation is a free gift.  But inheriting the Kingdom requires lots of work.  Solving the friction between grace and holiness verses.

3) Does salvation require fruits of the Spirit?  Solving the friction between Lordship Salvation and Free Grace Theology.

4) The millennium as a free-grace alternative to purgatory.  Solving the differences in salvation verses between Catholicism and Protestantism.

5) Would a loving God have a merciful plan for our loved ones who have died having never heard or understood about Jesus Christ?

6) Jewish eschatology provides Scriptural evidence that children who die young do not go to hell.

7) Amillennialism vs. Premillennialism.  Scriptural evidence for the purpose of Christ's Messianic reign.  The millennium is the climax of God's plan for all generations.

The application of Old Testament Jewish eschatology to the New Testament Church solves these seven major problems of Scripture, which have divided the Church over the centuries.  Most of the New Testament was written by Jews.  The New Wine System literally interprets Scripture along the same lines as the Jewish eschatology system of that day.  The Jewish New Testament authors applied Old Testament prophecies about Israel to the New Testament Church.  If we do the same, then these seven major problems of Scripture are solved.  In addition, many verses of other topics that have been hard to understand start fitting the system and become easily understood.
