Christian Reconstruction

A complete misrepresentation of dispensationalism. At no part of it does it suggest that Christians are to live like they are not a Christian. It is an extreme misrepresentation.

isn't Christian reconstruction movement basically rehashed Post Mil though?
That the Church will redeem society, transform it by Gospel, by applying law of God to its instututions, and basically bring the KLIngdom to earth before Jesus arrives to watch over it?

That is the way I have understood it. But I do not hold to it so that could be wrong. These fellas, in their ignorance, tried to tie dispensationalism to the decline of society by suggesting it teaches we are not to live like Christians except on Sunday. Therefore we do not have the Christian influence in our communities. And this is a result of not believing there is still the OT law of God to follow.

No.....they believe the gospel saving more and more people in society will grow and grow[ the mustard seed].....then society will change as the majority of saved persons will bring law and government more into line with God's laws.
The changing of the law does not bring about christians...the changing of hearts bring abouit christians

Still basically Post Mil as Church brings about "new world order" and than Jesus can come back to rule over it

IF one wants to hold to this, better way is to go to "Kingdom Come" from Bishop paulf, at least he saw it being brought about by God thru Church having ole NT Church power by HS again, as miracles/prophets/apostle were brought back into vogue! (saying tongue in check, bogus to me!)

Either way it still insists that the world is getting better or will. False is false.

what do you think these verses mean?

27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Two things to consider: 1. America is not the World. 2. It is darkest before sun rise.

Constructionists are well aware of the destruction of Western Civilization. But is that the sound of a mighty rushing wind in the East?

Perhaps a history and the locus of Dispensationalism should be enough to weigh the system in question.
That's been done before but maybe it's time to renew it for the newbe's. Go for it. Mary McDonald, the Plymouth Brethren, all that.
