Thomas Ice declared, “In order to be a dispensationalist, one has to hold to a literal approach to interpreting the Bible.”

I see nothing wrong with that statement.

The Bible is God's method of communicating with His creation. Communication requires clarity, not obfuscation.

While some things are obfuscated in Scripture (parables), most of it *is* literal. And I'm including Revelation in that comment. The only things that would not be literal, are when John sees things for which he has no comprehension, and tried to describe as best he could (modern technology?? Not sure, but remain open).

Never claimed to be a dispensationalist. I do claim to know how to handle the Word.

You’ve shown you can’t.
