Last night, God called her home.
15 days before that, she was baptized
2 mos. before that, she believed the gospel
2 mos. before that, she was diagnosed Stage IV cancer
A year before that, she attended our fellowship
Before that, for 75 years, she wandered
Now, she's home.

It's dangerous to assume that a 20-something with a shiny new MDiv understands his Bible better than a farmer who has been teaching Sunday School for 20-something years. One is prone to thinking he has it all figured out; the other is prone to humbly serving in the fear of God.

Some are rejecting the reality that God has made a covenant with the nation of Israel because, currently, the Israelites reject Him.
Have you read the OT? He didn't disown Israel when they made the calf. Have you read your own heart? God is longsuffering, merciful and gracious.

I'm a dispensationalist even though I
-wasn't raised in it or in church at all
-haven't owned or used a Scofield Reference Bible
-haven't read or seen Left Behind
-reject end-times hysteria "ministry" (Hagee, Israel watch, etc.)
I just love consistent hermeneutics. And charts.

One of the coolest things about reading the Bible as a dispy is that you can read the OT prophecies and believe them. No looking for hidden meanings, reading between the lines, or redefining terms. You can place yourself in the audience's position, and their hope is your hope.

Pre-trib dispensationalists reject the notion that Christians will escape tribulation; rather, we believe Christians will escape the *great* tribulation, the hour of testing that will come upon the whole world. God's people will not be subject to the outpouring of God's wrath.

The heart of the eschatology debates is a difference in hermeneutics.
Dispensationalists advocate for reading progressive revelation in context because a passage never comes to mean what it never meant. Covenantalists start with the NT because they believe OT meaning can evolve.

The church will be caught up together with Christ in the clouds before the Day of the Lord comes upon the whole earth. The church will indeed suffer many tribulations in the world, but she will not be subjected to the great tribulation brought about by God's wrath.

If Dispensationalism can be discredited by the tin-foil-hat fringe, then Reformed Theology can be discredited by the unloving, arrogant fringe.

Christian Nationalism is popular because America is in the tank and Christians hope for change. The problem with Christian Nationalism is that the movement provides no true solutions, all the while distracting from the substance of real hope: the imminent return of Christ.

If the charismatic, miraculous gifts of the Spirit were still being given today, there wouldn't be a debate about it among Christians--it would be obvious to all Spirit-indwelt believers. The debate itself is evidence that it's not happening like it was in the first century.

The church is a *new* entity, according to Ephesians 2. Thus, it cannot be properly said that Israel is the church of the OT and the church is the Israel of the NT. Our desire for continuity should never overrule basic interpretive principles.

Revelation 19:19 says that the kings of the earth (and their armies) will oppose Jesus at His coming--and they'll suffer swift defeat. This means the world will not be Christianized before Christ's return. Postmillennialism is wrong. Indeed, few find the narrow gate (Matt 7:14).

There is no exegetically legitimate way to interpret Rev 19:11ff as anything but the Second Coming, and this is extremely problematic for postmillennial eschatology.

The Nicene Creed has no more spiritual authority than my church's doctrinal statement.
That doesn't mean it's unimportant, irrelevant, or wrong. What it does mean is that all accurate summations/articulations of God's Word must equally submit to the authority of God's Word.

Hermeneutics that prioritize literal meaning and context will always resonate with the common Christian because it's sensible, and reflects normal communication. Sweet old folks who have been studying Scripture for 50 years often won't buy in to hidden meanings. Praise God.

Lumping all dispensationalists together is like lumping all continuationists or Calvinists together. Ryrie is not the same as Hagee, nor is Grudem the same as Copeland, nor is Sproul the same as Fred Phelps. Don't argue against a theological view by singling out extreme people.

My concern for defending dispensationalism isn't rooted in the dispensations themselves or even in end-times events. It's rooted in preserving the storyline of God's program as He has given it to us in the Bible, ascertained by a normal, consistent hermeneutic.

No manmade creed or confession was inspired as the Bible was. There's also no such thing as inspiration-lite. A document is either inspired by God or not.

The vision that was given to Ezekiel regarding the temple and tribes of Israel was not fulfilled in Jesus' first coming and it's not about the church at all.
The temple is the temple. The tribes are the tribes. The fulfillment is future.

I truly appreciate many of my postmillennial brothers. The only problem is that we disagree about the Great Commission, OT hermeneutics, the nature of Israel, the Church, and the Law, the imminent return of Christ, and what the future holds. Other than that, we're good.

Postmillennialism rejects Christ's imminency, effectively changing the church's mission. They don't primarily see themselves as engaging in spiritual work that could end at any time; they primarily see themselves as engaging in earthly work that cannot end without global success.

In the Dispensationalism vs Covenant Theology debate, eschatology is the fruit, not the root. To have a productive conversation in that area, talk about hermeneutics and covenants. End-times charts must be saved for later.

In 2006, my mother killed herself.

Reasons why "Dispensationalism is young" is a bad argument against dispensationalism, a thread.

A hermeneutic that spiritualizes the biblical text away from a literal, physical Messianic Kingdom will inevitably carry with it gnostic notes, insinuating that believing in a literal millennial reign is carnal. It sounds pious, but it diminishes the extent of God's redemption.

Remember when Irenaeus made up the pre-trib rapture that no one in church history had ever taught?
"In the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this; it is said, 'There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be' (Mt 24:21)."

CNs reason: If you're a Christian who prefers nationalism, you're a Christian Nationalist.
This isn't true, as CN is more than the sum of its parts. CN is a mission to Christianize culture with political power. It instructs Christians to take dominion before the King comes.

It's interesting that so much of the "dispensationalism is dead" crowd continues to talk about dispensationalism as though it's not dead. If you can stop believers from being Berean-like in their Bible study, you can stop dispensationalism. But you can't. So you won't.

Satan is not currently bound in the abyss. This will happen after Jesus returns to reign for a thousand years.

There are many people who reference their evolution in eschatology (bouncing around from one millennial position to the next) as if they are now certified to teach others about it. But Scripture speaks of being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine as a shameful thing.

If you spend time in the OT prophets (particularly the minor prophets), it quickly becomes clear that God will both judge Israel for her sin and restore her in her land among the nations -- with her own identity and covenant blessings. Problem is, many don't read the OT prophets.

If your reading of Genesis 1-2 leads you to believe God created the world out of nothing in six literal days, your reading of Genesis 13, 26, & 35 should lead you to believe that there's a future for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob in the land God gave them.

Dispensationalism is not primarily a theological alternative to Covenant Theology. Rather, it's a hermeneutic that holds forth fundamentally different values than the hermeneutic of Reformed theology. The theological systems are the fruits of the philosophies of interpretation.

This is my most "viral" post ever.
A couple of months ago she told me that she wished she could tell all her neighbors about her faith. I'd like to think that this is God giving her the desire of her heart for His glory.
Last night, God called her home.
15 days before that, she was baptized
2 mos. before that, she believed the gospel
2 mos. before that, she was diagnosed Stage IV cancer
A year before that, she attended our fellowship
Before that, for 75 years, she wandered
Now, she's home.

Biblicism is a philosophy of personal Bible study that rejects pre-conceived systematic theologies in order to understand Scripture on its own terms.
Biblicism doesn't reject systematic theology -- it just puts the Bible first as the lone foundation for belief and practice.

The longer I am in ministry the more I find this old adage to be true: "What you win them with is what you win them to."

As a dispensationalist, I never (truly, never) teach the dispensations dogmatically. I do, however, teach literal fulfillment of the OT covenants regularly.
