Dispensationalism is factually based on Scripture. The so-called flaws are based on opinion, not facts. When I get around to Part 3 of Dispensationalism, I would like your comments on what you find to be a flaw. Of course that thread on Dispensationalism is only covering the view on Israel...

This brings up another thread that should be started on the word "election" and its use concerning Reformed Theology. But I don't have time for all of this, not at the present.

In the context of the word "elect" concerning salvation you were both clear and correct, as I see it. I was pointing out the different context of the word "elect." I think that's important.

In the context of salvation, yes, it makes perfect sense.

Jon, I understand your purpose in this post and I know your intentions are good. But for the benefit of all we should understand the Biblical use of the word "elect." 95% of the time in Scripture the context reveals the word "elect" to be those in Christ. But there is another use of the word...

But BF, how does the Father draw us to Christ and who is eligible for that drawing? What did the apostle Paul say on this very matter?

Yep, dispensationalism gets a bad wrap from those who don't want to understand it.

I would much rather live during this dispensation of Grace rather than Law, but with the added knowledge this dispensation gives us there comes more responsibility. Judgement will be more harsh for those with more knowledge, and we in this dispensation of Grace have by far the most knowledge...

Paul said that one man regards everyday the same, and another regards a day as he pleases. Basically Paul said not to judge anyone who regards to set aside a particular day. Christ fulfilled the Law in it's entirety, including the Sabbath Day. He gave us liberty from the work of the Law. The...

Yes I do, because I don't recognize that God, I can't find Him in Scripture.

The Calvinists have told me for over 40 years that is the sovereignty of God, He can do whatever He wants. Z, that is not the God I serve, and how can they expect me to believe that when I can plainly see in Scripture the opposite God? Most of us take offense, in that we see it as an attack on...

No matter how it's rubbed over, that view see's a God that has left man to die in his sin without reaching out to him as He reached out to His so-called Elect.

You're confident in what you believe, we'll leave it at that. You certainly don't me explaining anything.

OK, Dave G, you have it figured out. Just ignore what I've said, I should have known better.

Just hear me out, Z, that's all I ask. What burns inside the majority of believers is double-predestination. They (we) reject it. There can be no single-predestination, if God in His sovereign will has elected some to salvation by default the rest are left for spiritual destruction. Where...

Of course there will be a rebuttal from the opposing belief, that is to be expected. I'm just asking you to research and see the roots of Calvinism, whether you agree or not. We didn't come up with this out of thin air.

If you have the time do some research on this info from the Library of Theology. Here's an excerpt. There are major similarities and yet subtle differences between Augustinianism and Gnosticism. While the Gnostics said that man’s nature was sinful and corrupt and that man didn’t have a free...

Now, BF, you know that's not what I'm saying. Let's don't be this way. @Silverhair is correct on the pagan philosophy, you can read all about it if you want.

Just picking with you, Z. I know you don't agree with me or SH.

Let's say, none that you'll accept.
