such a question is merely a guise for entraping me in more fruitless debate.
You know where I stand. I know where you stand. You brought it up with the title of this thread and the first line of your excerpt.
Fruitless? I hope not.
I maintain that dispensationalism's "two peoples of God" axiom has some pretty severe gospel problems. I'd like to get you to examine that presupposition and it's gospel implications.
As far as the immediate question:
Just wondering, can you provide us a list of theologians you have read who aren't dispensationalists? Are you familiar with the concept of "biblical theology" (as complementary to systematic theology? Redemptive-historical hermeutic?
the things I see the average popular dispensationalist speakers and writers say make me wonder if they have any real familiarity with the views they're speaking against. Some of them have consigned us to the outer darkness. Meanwhile they all seem to be spinning in a tight little orbit about their own little common center.
So, who've you actually read?
While attending Biblical Seminary in Hatfield, PA in the 80s I read enough reformed theology to understand the tremendous error present in reformed thought. I will not though play into your sophist hand, knowing well that usually is your trump card.
