Here's a good video pointing to these facts that I have presented: I did not base my remarks on this video, but a friend of mine mentioned that it aligns to my words. I am disgusted by the modern Christian disgust for creeds, confessions and catechisms. I had to learn these things by...

I should have said Westminster Larger Catechism. https://www.apuritansmind.com/westminster-standards/larger-catechism/ Keach's Catechism is also good. http://www.reformedreader.org/ccc/keachcat.htm Here's a sample: Q. 1. Who is the first and best of beings? A. God is the first and best of...

Question 1: What is the chief and highest end of man? Answer 1: Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God,[1] and fully to enjoy him forever.[2] 1. Rom. 11:36; I Cor. 10:31 2. Psa. 73:24-28

God created man to rule over the material creation and to reflect his image in the created realm. He created man to worship, enjoy, and glorify him. However, mankind sinned and no longer reflects God's image, except in a distorted manner. God is in the process of redeeming his fallen...

The amillennial person is in constant awareness of the fact that they may not be alive the next minute. I have heard dispensationalists claim that amillennialists are immoral due to their lack of understanding imminency, but this is really a sub-intelligent claim as anyone with any sense at all...

Are you guys aware that CI Scofield added the "Dr." title to his name at some point, although he had no degree, either earned or honorary? If I started calling myself "Dr." out of the blue, I would get called on it. How is his relevant? It speaks to me in terms of credibility. If someone...

I know what Darbyites teach..I don't need to look it up :) I don't think it is coherent, and while claiming they are the expert exegetes of Scripture, they propose things that are outlandish.. It is hilarious how MacArthur said "there are no allegories in Scripture" and the Rapture is in the...

There is zero wrath upon God's people in Revelation, BUT there is suffering and martyrdom that they experience. There is a difference between experiencing the suffering and persecution described in Revelation, with experiencing the wrath of God, which will be poured out on unbelievers by God...

Admittedly, not all dispensationalists hold this position but some do.

Admittedly, not all dispensationalists take this view, but some do :)

Admittedly, not all dispensationalists would take this attitude..but some do :)

Great synopsis. There's only one thing I might add, which complicates this a bit....I stopped using the term "Arminian" and switched to "free-willer" mainly because of the grades of free-willers that you mention. But, there's actually one more gradation and I don't know entirely the...

One of the big issues with the dispensationalist view is that much of the content of Revelation is attack upon God's people (the Church) by Satan and his cohorts, both angelic and human. It is part of the war between children of the woman and children of the serpent. It's really only the last...

I agree. I think a lot of this relates to anti-intellectualism of the 1800's during the "revivalism" movement, which focused more on emotions and sensation than solid biblical truths. Additionally, fear was injected when "higher criticism" within the Church caused a bunch of liberal doctrine...

John MacArthur admitted that the Rapture is not taught in the book of Revelation. Where did he say it was taught? "in the white spaces". He admits it's not there whatsoever.....yet dispensationalists criticize amillennialists concerning their hermeneutical approach in this book :D...

I'm not sure if you're addressing me, but well-known dispensationalists take a very antagonistic approach toward those who hold different views. A number of these are listed in Sam Waldron's book "End Times Made Simple". Amongst their claims are that non-dispensationalists are anti-Semitic...

Regarding being silly, it may seem like that to a dispensationalist, especially if he's been brought up blindly accepting their teachings. It is similar to my position as a cult member in the past. I thought other Christians were idiots until I learned correct hermeneutics, and realized how...

I doubt most premillennial dispensationalists will put forth one bit of effort to understand the other three major millennial systems. Maybe one out of 10 has read a book by an amillennial person, in order to determine whether the argument is reasonable. The rest have basically heard some...

Satan was restrained at Jesus' coming in the sense that he is unable to deceive the nations. The phrase "the nations" infers the Gentiles. He is unable to totally deceive the nations, and is unable to keep the Gospel from going forward, and reaching the elect. Just prior to Jesus' coming, he...

By the way, if someone doesn't understand how Scripture teaches in types and shadows, they really need to study hermeneutics. The types and shadows are clear. And, dispensationalists will only accept a type and shadow if it is directly identified in Scripture, which limits their ability to...
