And if Luther and Calvin were correct in their "heresies" then who are you to decide if dispensationalism is some kind of damnable heresy?
It may not be a damnable heresy, but it is most assuredly an aberrant teaching within the Church. It is divisive of the people of God by its very nature. It destroys the overall unity and purpose of the Word of God. It makes Christ appear as a schizophrenic wrt the races.
All that is not a good thing.
“And if Luther and Calvin were correct in their “heresies” then who are you to decide if dispensationalism is some kind of damnable heresy?”
“Damnable heresy”? How did you interpret that from my statement “at the time, Darby was considered a heretic”?
And speaking of misinterpreting, to answer your question about dispensationalism, why do I believe it’s not biblical (my words) — I’m sure you’ve heard of the Bereans?
Well, my personal story is that, after a lot of prayer for clarity and by trying more to emulate the Bereans, my husband and I both left dispensationalism behind.
Acts 17:11: “Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”
