Hey sasportas - thank you for post #25. I had always believed the Dispensational view since that is what all the Christians around me all my life believed (so I assumed it was Biblical). During the election last year, my adult Sunday school class would chatter about Obama and the antichrist and so forth, so I suggested we actually do an in-depth study of Revelation and End Times prophecy - just to ensure that we really do know what we're talking about when we talk like this.

Upon thinking about it, I realized that while I knew-of such things, from a technical perspective, I really didn't know anything. So to be thorough for my students, I spent the last year reading many authors and studying that aspect of the Bible diligently.

Oh wow...I had no idea the same era that gave us Evolution,Eugenics and Marxism gave us Dispensationalism. That disturbed me. I read more. In the end, I came to the same conclusion as you. I just hinted to my seminary trained DH what I had found and he went all Quix on me (I dropped it quickly and didn't bring it up again - sigh).

As I begin to teach this class, I'm going to present all views and all facts - get them in the Bible and let them draw their own conclusion without revealing my experience until the very end of the study.

I love to read these threads now because I actually know what all sides are talking about and for the most part, it amuses the heck out of me. I didn't go into my study with a desire to tear down my own beliefs. It's just that when presented with facts, I cannot continue to believe a fallacy, no matter how painful it is to admit it.

Keep the faith :)

Interesting...Many have studied just as hard and diligently as you but come to the opposite conclusion...I for one...

” . . . and he went all Quix on me . . . “

CONGRATS

I think that’s the first instance of such a usage in the history of FR.

I may be forgetting one or two but I think it’s the first.

Hey, gang, isn’t it the first such instance of such usage?

Now, if we could just pin down an UNRUBBERIZED DEFINITION!
