Obviously such a premise is stated by somebody lacking in theological wherewithal to recognize the work at Dallas Theological Seminary for several decades before progressive dispensationalism slithered into its midst ushered in by Reformed backsliden believers.
All of the dispensational leaning pastors I've observed prefer to only teach from Greek and Hebrew, and consider anything less than 3-7 years study in each language respectively to be a sophmoric introduction to the study.
But even with such dedication, the simple truth is that by remaining in fellowship with God through faith in Christ, all of our understanding and sanctification comes through faith alone in Him alone.
Well put.
Thx.
Of course, if folks believe that
virtually all Biblical END TIMES prophecies were fulfilled in 70 A.D.
they’ll believe that the Easter Bunny landed first on the moon;
that OThga is a sheep in wolf’s clothing;
that The Mark of the Beast is a cheap tattoo gone bad;
that The Biblical Two Witnesses to die in Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation will be two McDonald’s customers witnessing a drive by shooting by Palestinian patriots;
and who knows what other crazy irrational trash.
I wonder how they can read Scripture in any translation and sleep nights knowing how much they’ve mangled it between their ears.
Oh, right, Denial is so convenient.
Given the trivial commentary by dispensationalists in this and other related threads, such a comment is laughable.

I recall Hal Lindsey was quick to tout his abilities in Greek to “rightly divide” the Bible along dispensational lines. It was that very knowledge of Greek that supposedly led him to conclude Jesus was returning in the rapture in 1981.
It was also Hymenaeus and Alexander, well versed in Greek, who denied the orthodox view of Christ’s second coming (not unlike most dispensationalists today) and was condemned by the apostle Paul.
The hallmark doctrine of dispensationalism, the secret pre-trib rapture, is not plainly or literally taught in the Hebrew or Greek of Scripture. So much for claim that the language skills of dispensationalists are superior to all others. How could they arrive at an erroneous doctrine such as this?
The point is that folks in dispensational pews are largely ignorant of the Bible in any systematic fashion, preferring to believe the wild exaggerations of their teachers. It is an eschatology that feeds on the ignorance of those being taught. That why folks can get by writing nonsensical tales like “50 Reasons Why We Are Living In The End Times”. It only makes sense to those who have drunk deeply from the dispensational kool aid.
