Funny, that is the formula for making dispensationalists, not eradicating them.
Sure I did. What did I miss?
Will keep a look out for the refs as I get better physically.
Don’t feel like looking them up at present.
I would have thought that all the mebers of a group who scream (rather . . . . -ly . . . about Dispys going to other sources
would have been on top of all the prophetic verses they love to deride, dismiss, deny and ignore so chronically.
You either have them or you don’t, you use this excuse all the time, post them if you have them
Like the cultists do. See Eddy, Mary Morse Baker Glover Patterson.
They have itching ears, and will run, no gallop, after everypiece of “news”
In your dreams.
Run of the mill dispies get most of their theology from the corner "Christian" bookstore hawking the wares of folks like Hagee and Osteen.
I know literally dozens of folks that have attended dispensational Bible schools and seminaries that are now solidly Reformed non-dispensationalists.
I have yet to meet or hear of someone who came out of a non-dispensational background or attended a conservative school in the Reformed tradition that gave it all up to become a hard core dispie.
Possible, but unlikely. The migration, thankfully, seems to be the other way.
Prayer, education, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Funny, that is the formula for making dispensationalists, not eradicating them.

INDEED.
Sometimes I care that my priorities are not your prioties.
Most of the time I don’t give a rip
Or Mormons when challenged "I'll look it up later and get back to you", then never come back
You are well enough to post online and add your caustic comments, but not "well enough" to look up your authority. Give me a break.
In case you missed it, Gary DeMar gives us an interesting example of how the dispies help God say what He means to say:
Chuck Missler attempts to get around the description of ancient war implements by claiming that the various Hebrew words is simply 2,500-year-old language that could be describing a mechanized force. The word translated horse, actually means leaper that can also mean bird, or even chariot-rider. He tells us that the Hebrew word translated sword has become a generic term for any weapon or destroying instrument. In a similar way, arrow means piercer and is occasionally used for thunderbolt and could be translated today as a missile. We are to believe that Bow is what launches the [missile]. Is Missler trying to tell us that when Ezekiel wrote bow and arrow he really meant a launching pad for a missile? To follow his interpretive methodology requires us to believe that the meaning of the Bible has been inaccessible to the people of God for nearly 2500 years. Missler, like nearly all end-time prognosticators, breaks all the rules of exegesis. ( The Battle of Gog and Magog: Prophetic Deja Vu)
The last bunch of full preterists to join the forum were all banned as a group because, despite being given several opportunities to disavow Christian Identity along with its racism and anti-Semitism, they refused to do so.
By carefully checking my past posts you will see that I'm not a "full preterist". See here for example.
I know, topcat54 - it is a warning directed to anyone lurking, thinking they’ll try another run at infiltrating this forum. There is a “so what.”
Sorry. It looked like it was directed right at me.
I didn’t know that.
AMEN!
The real problem with dispensationalism is that it is basically a political motivation dressed up in theological clothing. Decent politics; faulty theology.
"For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." -- Romans 9:6
The timing of events tells us quite a bit about why something occurs (which is one of the major reasons brain-dead schools no longer teach timelines.) What was happening in the mid-19th century (besides the creation of dispensationalism) that transformed the planet from an agrarian society to a mechanical society?
God has always taken for Himself a peculiar people and those people have been graced exactly the same way since the beginning of time -- with faith.
Anything that gives a pass to people now for the reward of some future earthly paradise is fooling themselves and the people they hope to help.
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great." -- Luke 6:47-49"Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." -- Hebrews 9:27-28"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
They show their hands when they argue that Adam means white. They sometimes argue that Israel and Jews are no more special to God than Yemen and Arabs.
When the last group refused to condemn Christian Identity along with its anti-Semitism and racism, they were unceremoniously booted.
IMO that's what full preterism is to partial preterism -- a manufactured stumblingblock intended to confuse and mangle the truth of Christ risen today. Full preterism has been denounced by partial preterists as heresy.
Most partial preterists, if not all, are reformed, and therefore they see no value in ethnicity. We are "all one in Christ Jesus."
