You can have fun in your sandbox... :-)
The futurists bemoan the fact that the rest of Christendom does not see eschatology through dispensational glasses. That’s OK. But, contrary to your opinion, this is not the result of some diabolical plot to keep truth from people. There are many, perhaps a majority, of biblically astute, regenerate Christians who refuse to go along with the futurist agenda. As long as the Jan Markels of this world keep trying to paint it as a conspiracy, it will be difficult for the rest of us to take it seriously.
I much prefer our sandbox to your mud puddle.
You said — I much prefer our sandbox to your mud puddle.

Well, that’s (of course...) your description which exemplifies very well your attitude towards the pre-mil, pre-trib, dispensational view — and is the same type of “attitude” as you would say describes the viewpoint of Jan Markell.
In other words, it’s okay for “mud puddles” (from your viewpoint) but not the viewpoint that others are “neglecting this teaching” (from the other side).... LOL...
That’s like the pot calling the kettle black... :-)

It very simply comes down to the fact that we think you are wrong — and you think we are wrong... so what’s new?
And in the meantime, we’ll continue teaching that there is a Rapture that happens which is a separate event from the coming of the Lord to set up the Kingdom on earth, literally and physically, and that Israel *is significant* in terms of the prophecies of God and that there are many “end-times” prophecies that have to be fulfilled with Israel, before the coming of the Lord to set up the Kingdom and that there will be a 1,000 year reign of the Lord over this earth, during which time Satan will be chained and bound and not allowed to deceive the nations during this time.
And yes..., you’re going to say that you don’t believe a word of it... LOL...
