I also believe in a rapture and a millennial rule. But that doesn't make me a dispensationalist.

I am talking about what this doctrine does for people. It causes them to be unfruitful in the things of God...to remain unspiritual.

And some are as big as skyscrapers.

Another biggie that dispies refute is the kingdom of God. That is huge as we are to seek it first. So if you believe it is only in the future....how do you seek the future? So then dispies ignore the gospel of the kingdom saying that it has been replaced by the gospel of grace....for now. Then...

We all want as many people as possible to be saved. But the danger in not seeing the spiritual nature of the kingdom...is that many will not be qualified to enter in based on a lack of knowledge about that preparation. No one goes to the cross by choice....you have to believe it is necessary...

The key to understanding eschatology is looking at things from a spiritual, rather than a natural perspective. And this is especially true concerning Israel. The church is the lost sheep of Israel. The gospel is first to the Jews and then to the nations. There is One gospel. One Bride. One...

All Israel is the Gentiles added to the Jews....not the Jews added to the Gentiles. When the fullness of the Gentiles comes is...then all of Israel will have been saved.

Righteousness is to DO the right thing. It doesn't mean to be sinless...but rather to act with love and good intent. It is honest and innocent of evil intent. Sometimes it means to believe something...from good faith...but mainly to do something. The second main commandment...to love others...is...

The difference between these two things is truly the distance between us and God....in today's world ....IN the church. Righteousness is to DO the right thing. It doesn't mean to be sinless...but rather to act with love and good intent. It is honest and innocent of evil intent. Sometimes it...

true...like the personality flaw of burning people at the stake like Luther or Calvin. :eek:

But what is the emphasis...spending time with God...or doing it on a certain day? Does spending time with God on a different day not count somehow in your estimation?

Darby put it into a system of belief. And the dispie beliefs have permeated a lot of churches. Of course a lot of people avoid the cross...even in holiness churches. But they aren't usually teaching others to do so.

Darby was closed brethren I think...excommunicating anyone who disagreed with him.

I omitted in their eschatology...concerning Israel. My mistake.

A Christian speaks with kindness and love. You could learn a lot from reading the bible and doing as it says. The devil is the accuser of the brethren. But I am not a liar. Darbyism denies the cross of Christ. It denies that WE need to go to the cross. The devil can't stop Jesus from going to...

It seems we are to have a love/hate relationship with ourselves. ;)

In a bridal feast, the guests far outnumber the wedding party. So we might say...they are many. And the bridal party is normally just 2 people...so we might call these...few.

Mat. 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. So who are the many? Who are the chosen? Chosen by whom? and how?...and for what?

Something that Steve mentioned in the video...about we Gentiles being grafted into the "green olive tree" ...which is both Judah and Israel. Because the tree is a leafy tree...all the branches that don't bear fruit are broken off. Jer. 11:16 The Lord called your name, Green Olive Tree, Lovely...

That's so much better than having to stay in the hospital and spend your time there. I'm praying for a quick recovery. :)
