It ought to give every dispensational Christian pause that Mormons and Jehovah’s Witness and 7th Day Adventists share their basic eschatology.

One would think.

***hint: it ain't us "preterist, amil, 'replacementarian'" types that have eschatological beliefs nearly lock step with heretic religions.... I'm just saying. --raynearhood

This is a bizarre, straw-man, finding -- a little like saying "milk has a lot in common with vodka since farming is involved in the production of both".

More to your point, Mormons believe they are the fulfillment of Israel -- their present-day expression. Joseph Smith is seen as a re-iteration of Moses. In Mormon parlance, the rest of us are called "gentiles". Sounds a lot more like replacement theology that it does dispensationalism.

I could do the same for Jehovah's Witnesses and 7th Day Adventists and preterism. But that would be a straw man, wouldn't it?
