IOW, don't take Paul's words literally. Read them dispensationally.

Col 1:6 Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:

Which apostle went to central america, or was that REALLY what Paul was saying or was he using a figure of speech?

The error of dispensationalism is in trying to read the biblical prophecies like they read the evening newspaper.

LOL, prophecy - Jesus would be born in Bethelehem - spiritualized or reading like a newspaper? Further error on your part not realizing that pretrib also are capable of discerning figures of speech and symbolic metaphors when we read prophecy, for instance Jesus doesn't have a literal sword coming out of His mouth on His return. Please gather better understanding of the method before you mischaracterize it like this.

It is another error of dispensationalism to see the spiritual as somehow diluted.

No, there are key spiritual aspects to the prophetic, but there are hard, physical realities too - to the extent that in the Mosaic law false prophets were killed when their prophecies failed to come to pass. No letting them off by 'spiritualizing' it.

Hardly. It is simply contrary to the erroneous views of dispensationalism.

So far, apart from vague fluffyness, you really haven't shown dispensationalism to be false. On the contrary, when asked in response to your claim that Mt 24 is fulfilled in AD 70, you provide everything BUT evidence of such. You make Jesus out to be a false prophet in that case.

= = =

You will learn that’s pretty standard for these types of threads and a certain clique.

That’s one reason I don’t bother much trying to debate the details. They virtually never respond to the Scriptures I do post . . . such as the one about God’s promises to the descendants of Jacob enduring as long as the stars endure etc.

Of course, what !!!CAN!!!! they really say against irrefutable UNRUBBERIZED SCRIPTURES! LOL.

Sigh.
