Dispensationalism is not what Christ taught

It is stated in the text: the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Now what Kingdom would Israel have been aware of, and do we see that Kingdom defined by Christ?

Again, it is not he Gospel of Jesus Christ, for this remains a mystery (unrevealed) until Pentecost.


God bless.

I can tell you for a fact that Ezekiel's temple will NEVER be rebuilt nor will any sacrifices carry on there.

The other problem with dispensationalism is they claim to be founded on literalism but they freely depart from it to suit their pet doctrines.

Had they been there with Nichodemus in John 3:4, they would have thought they were to be born afresh off their mothers' wombs

I don't think literal interpretation excludes the acknowledgment of literary devices. I actually appreciate their attempt in terms of a literal interpretation. The opposite side is Covenant theology which relies heavily on theory (eg., God's command to Adam constituting a covenant, the covenant of works). I believe neither adequate as an overview of salvation history or God's interaction with mankind.

Covenant theology is much more on point than dispensationalism.

There is so much arbitrariness in employment of literalism. Literalism is simply invoked to advance a previously held belief and dropped at the slightest hint of interpretive difficulty.

What I'm saying is there are no rules of employing literalism in dispensationalism; you have to accept some parts as being literal or symbolic unquestioningly.

I too belong to neither camp, and nor do I pretend to. I may not have a cogent eschatology to lean back on but I sure can pick out nonsense in any system. In my estimation, the errors and assumptions of Dispensationalism are one too many to be ignored. Ezekiel's temple was the tipping point

Most Christians are completely unaware of what is about to happen. This will rock the faith of many would be followers.

It's a wonderful thing to know that men women and children are about to suffer and die horrible deaths....sorry. Solomon was right about one thing....wisdom brings sorrow. The ignorant are the happiest and this forum is packed with some really happy people.

True, everyone has a different take on things. I happen to favor British Israelism but the doctrine has many differing adherents with opposing concepts.

British israelism?
So which particular strand of Herbert do you subscribe to?
