Dispensationalists who answer my questions in the affirmative trample Jesus's work.

Did or did not millions excitedly follow these two men because of what they believed and taught about the rapture?

Do you believe Israel is the focal point of history, and not the church? Do you believe the church is a 'parenthesis' in history, to be removed and then God can deal with his primary concern, Israel? Do you believe it is God's will that Israel rebuild the temple and reinstitute animal...

Apparently many did, considering his book sales. Tim LaHaye is another one.

They loved Hal Lindsey, didn't they?

Dispensationilists should love this guy. For several years, he has forecast the rapture, only to have to extend the time, when the rapture didn't happen. Currently, he's expecting the rapture to happen this year, 2026, most likely this spring, or this coming fall...

So, you say that those who reject dispensationalism are ignorant unbelievers. Dispensationalism is a perversion of the Gospel.

Yeah, strange as the scriptures I referenced in my reply to Him. :rolleyes:

I believe Jeremiah 7:22; Hosea 6:6; Micah 6:6-8, and our Lord Jesus's words in Matthew 9:13, recalling and quoting these OT scriptures.

I think you can be saved, nowhere did I say otherwise.

What I don't believe is that Israel is the real focus of God, and the church just a parenthesis to be taken out of here so God can deal with Israel. I don't believe God would approve of the reinstitution of animal sacrifices, and I don't believe there are two paths to salvation, one for Gentiles...

I don't believe He has cast them away, either. But I don't believe they are the center of history. I believe the church is that, not a mere parenthesis in history.

Wouldn't say the Mosaic sarifices were blasphemous, but they weren't instituted by God, either.

Allow me to comment, even though I'm not a dispensationalist, and this is one reason why. It's a hideous doctrine, and it is another gospel, or rather no gospel. The whole dispensational scheme is a denial of the work of Christ.

I've known about and liked Stephen C. Meyer for a while. He believes in Intelligent Design, but he's not a Young Earth creationist. Here's a fascinating interview with him: https://smashinginterviews.com/interviews/authors/stephen-c-meyer-interview-the-argument-for-a-mind-behind-the-universe
