I believe, basically, Dispensationalism is a "defeatist" outlook. Let me explain. They believe the world was set on a ticking, "timeclock" countdown to destruction when God made it, and that it is destined to end in a fiery explosion when the last designated day is finally reached. No other...

For those here who don't even know what this "Dispensationalism" thing is, I went to GotQuestions.org/ Sadly, it is a biased site, but at least you can get some straight answers there. They say: "Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward...

Thank you. I have been actively engaged in ongoing psychiatric group facilitation on a directly personal confrontational basis since my early 20's, so it kind of rubs off on you over the years.

A preacher I know likes to say... "We don't 'have to'.... we 'get to.' "

If I do 7 good things a day, and you only do 5, does that mean I am getting a better house than you? (I suspect you would say it is dependent upon "the measure" given to each of us.) So, how does that sit with us making any sort of assessment (actually, "judgment") about the amount (or...

But, you still seem to be advocating that we are now required to work hard enough — do those things you mentioned, well enough — to earn "approval" of the Salvation I think we already have.

So, now you have to do even more than Jesus already did? He got you "cleaned-up", only to that one point, and now you have to work harder than He did to keep yourself that way?

I don't think it is that we are "sinless" OR "sinfree", but that the sinning we continue to do is not counted against us in that we would be required to pay for it.

I do think "things" are included in that, too.

Thanks ! (Possibly true. LOL)

We were doing a section on suicide, when one of my instructors said to me: "You will never commit suicide... because you are too curious and anxious to know what the unknown 'tomorrow' will bring."

Interesting idea.

Uh.... isn't xenophobia more a fear of "strange" or "foreign" people or things, than just things "unknown?"

Very clever play on words! LOL

And, it might more correctly be worded: "Is perhaps not sinning right at this particular moment."

Every Christian believes in Preterism. It was prophesied that a Savior would come, and Jesus came... that is Preterism; that a prophesy has come true already, and we are not still waiting for it to happen.

All you brilliant Bible Scholars do realize, don't you, that "antichrist" is only mentioned 4 times in 4 verses in the entire Bible? And it is never mentioned as a "specific person." LOL 1Jo 2:18 - Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now...

This is some very interesting reading on Dispensationalism: https://www.amazon.com/House-Divided-Break-Dispensational-Theology/dp/0930464273 (Yes, I do have a free copy in MS Word I can send you.)

And we, the membership, can effect that "limiting" by what we say and how we respond in our own posts.

Firmly disagree with that kind of heavy-handed censorship.
