"Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures ... and my conscience is captive to the Word of God.... I cannot do otherwise."
* Based on Martin Luther's famous "95 Theses" that were posted on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. Luther's document empowered and propelled the Protestant Reformation.

Heavyweight title fight
The bible (the word of God) encourages all believers to Study, showing ourselves approved of God, workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. The invite below is Christianity in its glory; (Paul on Mars hill) weak believers (Sheep) will avoid this debate for obvious the reasons. For those who are seeking truth, or to reinforce your truth tune in, or continue to stand looking upward.
Don K. Preston in an Up Coming Radio Debate
Covenant Radio, with sponsors Jeffrey McCormack and William Hill, will be hosting another debate, on May 22, 2008 at 7 PM EDT (6 PM CST).
The disputants for this debate will be Don K. Preston, who has engaged in debates on Covenant radio in the past, and Mr. Melvin Jones.
Mr. Jones has a BSEE from Tuskegee Institute 1974, and is of the Reformed/Monergistic persuasion. In his eschatology he is a premillennialist, and holds to a physical return of Jesus Christ. He teaches occasionally for the Standup Ministries (www.standupministry.com) through a web cast, and worships with Hillcrest Baptist Church, Temple Hills MD.
Mr. Jones is involved with the Website: www.pulpit-pimps.org a site that addresses the men and women who take advantage of the more vulnerable and ignorant members of the Body.
The debate with Mr. Jones came about due to one our regular visitors to this site, who had interacted with Mr. Jones and a related radio ministry. I was contacted, asking if I would be willing to debate someone from the ministry. I expressed my interest, but, the head of the ministry was not willing to engage me. However, Mr. Jones has stepped forward and the discussions will proceed. We appreciate his willingness to engage in these discussions, and feel that they will be profitable.
You can listen to the debate live, on www.Covenantradio.com on May the 22, at 7 Eastern time, 6 Central time.
Depending on the time available, there may be two propositions. Don K. Preston will affirm the following.
Resolved: The Bible teaches that the Second (i.e. final) coming of Christ occurred at the time of the fall of Jerusalem in A. D. 70.
: The Bible teaches that the Second (i.e. final) coming of Christ occurred at the time of the fall of Jerusalem in A. D. 70.
Don K. Preston: affirm
Melvin Jones: Deny.
If time permits, Mr. Jones will also have an affirmative, which will be:
Resolved: The Bible teaches due to Jewish unbelief and rejection of Jesus in the first century, Davidic Kingdom was postponed until the Second Coming of Christ, which will occur at the end of the current Christian age.
: The Bible teaches that due to Jewish unbelief and rejection of Jesus in the first century, the Davidic Kingdom was postponed until the Second Coming of Christ which will occur at the end of the current Christian age.
Melvin Jones: Affirm
Don K. Preston: Deny
We very much appreciate the opportunity to engage in these discussions, and express our appreciation to Jeff McCormack and William Hill for their good work on Covenant Radio.
Don K. Preston
Jude encourages the believers of his time to "defend" God's unchanging truth, we're also encouraged to
"Prove all things" "rightly dividing the word of truth". The debate between Mr. Don Preston and Mr. Melvin Jones
is as biblical as it gets when there're disagreements between believes, every believer should be thrilled
that the man of God has chosen not act as the world, but as men of God trying eschatology by the Word of God.

Challenge your eschatology, because it's not what I believe, it's what the bible affirms is Truth……..
