Okay, it looks like I may have stuck my nose into a conversation that is way over my head LOL. I have heard of dispensationalism, and I think that is what I have always believed. Or rather, been taught. Does dispensationalism have more to do with eschatology than anything else? I do not discuss that.. because so much of what I believed before turned out to be a lie, and I really think God has shaken much of that doctrine that I learned, and started building again with the right stuff. It has taken a very long time though, as I am extremely cautious about what I read/take in. As a matter of fact, it has taken me about a year to get a handle on predestination, and believe that it is true!

So, my point I guess is.. where would I find something to read on dispensationalism and NCT, what it is exactly, and why one would think it's wrong?

I think this has a huge importance on how we live out our Christian faith, and I think it is probably vital to know this, and why it is either right or wrong. I mean the difference between keeping the whole law, or just some of it, or what ever and why and how.

I wonder if I should start another thread on the Hebrew Roots movement. Because so many messianic jews say that we are to follow the law. Of course, I have to say here, that I love the jews, am fascinated with things Jewish, so I am not trying to be or sound anti semetic at all. But I think Jews are saved in exactly the same way as any gentile. And I don't think that because we don't follow either any, or portions of the law, or because we don't write G-D, or because we don't say "shalom" that we are not holy.

Maybe I am not completely understanding the meaning of this thread.. I hope I didn't hijack it! But maybe it would be better to read up a bit on NCT and dispensationalism.

Okay.. that's it! Thanks so much!
