What Dispensationalism Provides?

[Pastor Larry]

How does a dispensationalist deal with John 5:28, 29

These verses have already been sufficiently dealt with showing that your complaint is illegitimate. Dispensationalists have no problem with this verse.

or 2 Peter 3:1-13, an epistle obviously written to the Church [2 Peter 1,2] speaking of the events associated with the second coming when they are, according to dispensationalists, not on earth?

I have never heard a dispensationalist having a problem with this verse. It talks about the time before the second coming when the patience of our Lord is an opportunity for salvation. No matter what tribulation position you have, the passage is the same.

 

[Pastor Larry]

How does a dispensationalist deal with John 3:16? or Matthew 18:17 or Hebrews 12:23 or 1 Peter 5:13 ?

What is the problem you would like to have addressed?

The idea that dispensationalists don't believe the Bible is, quite frankly, wrong headed and out of place. The fact that we disagree on how to use language and how to interpret certain passages does not mean that either side doesn't believe the Bible. It means that we disagree about what the Bible means by what it says.

Furthermore, if you really don't have any idea how a dispensationalist deals with these verses, perhaps you should not hold so strong an opinion about the matter. When you find out how dispensationalists deal with them, it might make more sense than what you currently believe.

I am always amazed by people who have staunch and dogmatic opinions on a matter, but are constantly asking what the other side believes. That makes no sense. If you don't know what they believe, it would probably be wise to not be so dogmatic that they are wrong.
