| | Fortune Cookie Dispensation I believe it is only fair to tell you that I did once almost "convert" to dispensationalism...I remember it like it was yesterday. There I was in the China Buffet, I had just finished a load of temporarily filling fried food and had opened my fortune cookie. It said this: "You will achieve all your wants and desires through use of your charm and wit." Immediately I praised the Lord. I thought "perhaps this is God's way of speaking in this time," perhaps this is a new dispensation where God talks to all his (non-Jewish) people through fortune cookies (get it I am using parenthesis just like the whole church age). Unfortunately my wife has never really got onboard and finds a lot of my wit mostly annoying. Besides I decided that the whole concept was probably unbiblical (just like regular dispensationalism)....D | | |
| Wacky Dispensationalist http://members.aol.com/rbiblech/MiscDoctrine/DispCov.htm I really don't understand how this (traditional dispensational) is not a Christ minimizing position. History Works Like this: God Chose( Eph 1:4), God Created(GEN 1:1), Man Sinned(Gen 3:6), Prophets Prepared (Matt 2;23), God Sent(John 3:16), Christ Rescued(1 Pet 3:18), Kingdom commenced(Acts 28:31)...For Jew and Gentile alike. The Israel of God (which is made up of all followers of Yahweh in all time), is the people of God, Jew or Gentile. Hebrews is clear that the Old Testament shadows are fulfilled in Christ. Are we to believe that if Moses and Abraham were given their choice between some land on the Gaza Strip and the very presense of God the would say "ummm I would like the place over there by that guy with the machine gun." No they would choose Jesus! Why, becasue he is what they were promised. All history progresses and cumulates in Jesus Christ. Hebrews says so, and so does Revelation. Any position that lessens the primacy of Jesus in all of human history scares me. |
