Questions for dispensationalists

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 sacrifices? Do you believe a red heifer is being readied or looked for, for that purpose?

God is the focal point.

Use the word parenthesis if you want. There are lots of people who add parentheses in their writing excessively. (I do it myself sometimes) that doesn’t change the reality of the church. Do you ignore that God is provoking Israel to jealousy? What is the purpose of provoking to jealousy if there is no other purpose for Israel?

Do you believe it is God's will that Israel rebuild the temple and reinstitute animal sacrifices?
If God told Israel to sacrifice animals before Christ knowing that it did not wash away sin, what is the difference between the same teaching tool looking backward?

Israel still looking for a Messiah and never recognizing that the perfect sacrifice has been made already, it should not be a surprise to anyone that rebuilding the temple is a priority.

Do you believe a red heifer is being readied or looked for, for that purpose?
Do I believe it is? Google it. They are paying attention to those details and they are quite prepared to build the temple again.
So do I believe they are doing it? Why would I not believe them.

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

Imperative priority.

Jesus has the Preeminence

"Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth." I Corinthians 8:1.

Dispensationalists assert that the verb form of the word 'dispense', which shares its first seven letters, of eight, with their proper noun namesake, 'Dispensation' does not expresses a meaning that has any relationship or association to their definition of 'Dispensation', as the first example where their false "knowledge puffeth" them "up", whereas your thread postings serves to "edify", in "charity."

Thank you for your defense of The Lord and His Gospel
and Praise our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I repent in sackcloth and ashes.

Or you could explain with Scripture why God giving responsibility to men it different ways at different times takes the glory away from Christ and tramples His work.
Dispensations are not means of salvation.
How can they trample the work of Christ.

That should have ended with a question mark. ❓

1) No, the body of Christ, the called out, the born anew believers will enter eternal life. Human temporal history will end.
2) No, I am a Progressive Dispensationalist, not a Traditional Dispensationalist.
3) No, the New Covenant in the blood of the Lamb ended the Old Covenant.

Is the primary concern to restore Israel???

Wasn’t, isn’t The Christ the ultimate sacrifice for all of humanity?

Please explain this red heifer reference! Is it found in scripture???

What does the Bible say? You are going to the wrong sources for your answers? Red Heifers and Parenthesis are are subjects for the detractors, not the dispensationalists.

dispensationalists:

What is God doing in the world today?
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. V 47
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Rev 1:6
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Rev 5:10
Acts 15:8,14
So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,
“Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

For what are the called out ones, being called ?

Who are these kings and priests going to kings and priests over?

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Matt 19:27,28

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

All Israel shall be saved but will all Israel be kings and priests?

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Compare
Acts 15:17 that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations [Gentiles], upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joel 2:28

When?
