i'd like to open this discussion, again.
let's examine the core doctrines/markers of dispensational (premillennial futurism).
let's see if it can stand up to the light of scriptural truth.
i'll start with ONE passage first.
DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGIANS AND TEACHERS say Genesis 12 says this (i'll use wikipedia...we can find in a thousand pulpits tho, and of course in the Scofield Bible):
CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR ISRAEL (CUFI): premillenial dispensational/scofieldian
corruption #1:
Support for Jewish People
CUFI states that during the Holocaust, too many Christians were silent and that Christians today must stand up for Israel and protect Israel’s 6 million Jews from the second Holocaust, concluding that: "We must get it right this time. Our faith demands it. The times require it. Silence is not an option."[11]
At CUFI's 4th annual convention, CUFI Florida state director Scott Thomas, who is senior pastor at Without Walls Central in Lakeland, Florida, states that CUFI's support of Israel is not related to Christian eschatology (one of the features of dispensationalism, which holds that the modern state of Israel has a central role in bringing about the second coming of Jesus Christ) since Christians believe that there is nothing they can do to speed up that process.
Thomas also cited Chapter 12 of Book of Genesis, which states that God will bless those who blesses the Jews and curses those who curse the Jews, and said that his Christian faith couldn't exist without the foundation of Judaism.

there's really no need for anything other than a yes or no on this one.
Chapter 12 of Book of Genesis, which states that God will bless those who blesses the Jews and curses those who curse the Jews
is that what Genesis 12 says? yes or no?
or does it say this? and what is God saying to Abram?
Genesis 12
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
