Old Testament Topics and Doctrines
|
Bold for doctrines which are not finished; partially bold for those begun but much work still to be
done on them:
This tells you which subjects and doctrines I have covered in which books; I am working as quickly as I can to
place all of this on the Internet, so if you are looking for something which is not posted yet, please email me.
I have just begun to place doctrines in here with a link to their online location, and I have also begun to list any
doctrines, charts or maps found within them as sub-points, so to speak.
Doctrines which I need to place: Omniscience of God (ref. in NIV Joshua 22:22 footnote). The Trinity (covered
as perhaps Yehowah in the Trinity in Deut. 5:11). See the Doctrine of the Deity of the Holy Spirit, found in
Judges 16:20 for some material. Also, the Doctrine of Tongues; the Doctrine of Grace;
In Judges 4:4, I began to take note of Short Doctrines which are doctrines, generally less than ten points long
and placed right in with the text, point-by-point. It appears as though I have, for a reasonably long time (maybe
since Joshua), included short topics which are a part of the exegesis.
At some point, I would like to introduce the Doctrine of the Topology of Jerusalem (Psalm 68:16?);
I am thinking that I ought to look at the gospel in the Psalms and the gospel in Isaiah (as well as other books).
Doctrines and Topics to be later Covered
1. Dispensations. God chose Israel to write and preserve His Word (Psalm 99:7). For those who do not
believe in dispensations, they ignore completely the Bible that they carry around with them—the one which
reads Old Testament and New Testament (Old Covenant and New Covenant). That is the very essence
of dispensational thought is an old and new covenant between God and man.
2. Prayer. I should include things, e.g., great prayers, like that of Moses for the people of Israel, or Abraham
concerning the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, or Samson at the end of Judges 15, or Manoah’s wife.
3.

Oriental Heritage."

4. Somewhere in these passages I need to deal with signs and wonders and miracles (the differences, their
words themselves, etc.). P. 88 in “When Skeptics Ask.” Also, note that they are not found much in Genesis
because man was so close to his creation in time. He had the word of truth passed on verbally. Ex. 3:20

13. Hyssop (Ex. 12:22; in doctrines)
14. Somewhere around Ex. 12–14, we need to deal with the late date and the early date of the Exodus (see
The Bible Almanac p. 51 for a good overall view).

Moses. (See “Treasuries of Bible Times” p. 80).

later? Ex. 18:1

might be several books here. Perhaps a book of Israel with the names of all the nation Israel, with those

1Sam. 30:9
1461. Did David’s exhausted men cross over brook Besor? 1Sam. 30:10
1462. Feeding this Egyptian is in agreement with Scripture. 1Sam. 30:10

1473. My approach to Scripture and historical narratives. 1Sam. 30:16
1474. We often view the feasts of Israel as quiet, ascetic observations of this or that sacrifice. However, the word

to recover it. 1Sam. 30:19

function under legalism. 1Sam. 30:24

when Judah, the man, not the tribe, traveled to visit a friend who lived in Adullam and took from there a
mistress (Gen. 38:1–2). This city was dealt out to the tribe of Judah in Joshua 15:35. This is the most well-known passage naming this city, where David is not given protection by Achish, the king of Gath, so he
herein hides from Saul or Absalom. Later on, Rehoboam will reinforce several cities on the Judæan hills,
and this will be one of them (2Chron. 11:7). Micah mentions this city when describing Sennacharib’s
invasion of Judah in Micah 1:15. This will be one of the areas re-occupied after the dispersion
(Neh. 11:30).

It makes little sense to allege that every one of them made up the religious stuff. 1Chron. 16:12

and they crossed Him just one too many times. Is your mediocre spiritual life so good that God just had
to ditch the Jews for you? The weakness of covenant theology. 1Chron. 16:15
609. Why is there a Church Age anyway? 1Chron. 16:15
610. We see the Bible as one contiguous whole today. 1Chron. 16:15

622. The immutability of God’s promises helps to explain why the king in Esther could not make one law one
day, and then rescind this law the next. 1Chron. 16:18
623. The division of verses in the Bible is not inspired. 1Chron. 16:18
624. God sometimes shows you what He is going to give you; once you develop capacity for that thing.
