    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    Uh... what? Are you perhaps thinking of Replacement Theology? Covenant theology seeks to understand the Bible by dividing it up in terms of covenants, much like dispensationalism divides it into dispensations. It's just a system for understanding the Bible. This all seems correct to me. The...

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. Those are the same as the ones I posted, I think.

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    I would appreciate a correction on the names. I grew up in a Dispensational church, but I haven't been part of the group for a while. Heard more than one sermon this, but it's been a long time. My view... I don't find that any system of theology is best. Dispensationalism has an argument. I...

    I want to hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations I've traveled to, but first I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map, so it won't fall down.

    It's like most of what the Pythons did... very hit or miss. More misses than hits, but the hits are pretty great. Mitch Hedberg: "I don't have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that."

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    Dispensationalism started with a mystical reading of Revelation's letters to the churches in Asia Minor, which was then expanded into a System of Theology that was read backwards into the rest of the Bible. It wasn't/isn't a bad idea, but it is less coherent in its application than other such...

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    The phrase "rightly dividing" is poorly understood. In New Testament times, the Hebrew Scriptures did not have spaces between the words. In order to read them, one had to literally divide the letters into words. That's what "rightly dividing" means. Nothing to do with dispensations.

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    It is, but there's more to it. There's components that deal with counting weeks, and watches of the days and nights. Some gematria stuff. I'm not big on gematria.

    You're the one who quoted it, bruh

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Yeah, on His way down. "And so shall we ever be with the Lord," here on earth.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Let me help you out... 16 The Lord him shall DESCEND... 17 ...we... meet the Lord in the air... ...as He DESCENDS. Jesus is coming down to the earth. The survivors are gathered to meet Him at His return. Not to be swept off the earth and into outer space.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Yes, this. The Bible sometimes uses the word 'heaven' as a placeholder where it means 'God.' The Jews don't like to say His name so they use other words like Adonai or Ouranos. What is meant is not flying away into outer space, but unity with God.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Neither. The Lord returns to the earth, and the dead are raised on earth.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Where does ANYONE teach that ANYBODY will "enter heaven?"
