Eschatology is interesting and arguable, as you say. But the biggest error, imo, of dispensationalism is that it denies the church to be the new Israel. This upends the fact that the Gospel is the answer for ALL people, and has been since the world began.
"Neither Jew nor Greek...all one in Christ Jesus."
I'm a big backer of the idea that the counter Reformation never ended, but has continued to work its mayhem through the centuries.
Disrupt, divide and conquer.

The bottom line, DrE, with Israel and the Church is Romans 9-11 and Acts 15.
You find BOTH.

But the biggest error, imo, of dispensationalism is that it denies the church to be the new Israel. It really is comparable to the Jews waiting for their literal Messiah who was going to usher in their literal kingdom. Well the Messiah was literal, but He was also Spiritual, but as He told them, the kingdom is spiritual,not of this world, yet here they are still today,going to build that temple and they've convinced many Christians, that the kingdom is earthly.
