[PetroniusMaximus]

“Newly invented, by comparison to the history of the church. Dispensationalism dates from the first half of the 19th century.”

And Preterism (Lee N. Field’s probable poison) was invented by Jesuit Luis De Alcasar during the Counter Reformation - unless you want to count Hymenaeus and Philetus.

And Preterism (Lee N. Field’s probable poison)

Did I say I was a preterist?

But, I guess everybody's a preterist to the dispensationalist who throws everything to the end of the age. When Jesus said "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies....", it's pretty clear, He meant the Roman siege.

Breathe in, breathe out. "Already, not yet."

My eschatology is "amillenial", distinct from topcat54's postmillenialism. My view does not, for instance, require an early date for John's Apocalypse, which is why I tend to sit that battle out.

I find dispensationalism "ungospelish" in it's assumptions and implications, for reasons I spell out briefly at the first link above, and Oswald Allis covers in much greater detail.

Why do you have to be so negative? Why do you mock and belittle your brethren? Where is your humility and patience?

Why can't we all just get along? I think you need to check your motives, my friend.
