You guys are always throwing dispensationalists under the bus.
All I know is that I would not trust Hank Hannegraff as far as I could throw him. IMO he is a snake oil salesman. He came to our church as a guest speaker one night and he spent the whole evening trying to sell the congregation his "memory system." He reminded my of the OxyClean guy. I felt like I needed a bath after that presentation.
Challenging their presuppositions and faulty interpretations is not what I would call "throwing dispensationalists under the bus".
We’re trying to offer them the truth, and get them to admit their faulty hermeneutical approach has far-reaching effects, and that it is not too late to get on board with a more biblical eschatology.
If you don’t care for Hannegraff, that’s OK by me. Truth does not rise and fall with any one man. If we judged all dispensationalists by the nut-jobs on TBN, then you would have a point.
Personal experience is, like a picture, worth a thousand words.
As continually repeated, dispensation is a biblical word. And Ephesians 1:10 is the expression of it that gives rise to it being used as an "economy" or style/ordering of an era.
There is everything biblical about that concept IF the Bible does demonstrate that there are unique divisions in history that clearly should be viewed as a whole.
As a way of ordering thought and biblical history, who, for example, would argue that The Garden of Eden was not a unique whole?
At one level it's pointless to argue with those who simply don't see what I see. We must have different eyes. For my part, I cannot deny what my eyes clearly see.
