Surely others will post Scripture to counter your post—there’s plenty of it. I’ll merely point out that the majority opinion of Christians through the centuries has been the polar opposite of the dispensational understanding of Israel.

I support Israel as much as anyone, but not because of my eschatology. I fear many will miss Christ due to their obsession with the modern secular state named Israel. There are many who know the dispensational end-times timetable like the back of their hand yet they don’t understand original sin, substitionary atonement, propitiation, and all the other great doctrines upon which our faith is built.

Bottom line: My ancestors were Scots-Irish, but I’m Israel because I’m in Christ, the true Israel.

Amen.

I recall an occasion, years back, when it became clear that the trinity was a take-it-or-leave-it secondary doctrine for a certain vocal member of the FR Dispensational Chorus.
