Have you ever heard of John MacArthur, JR. (Masters Seminary)

Doubtless, John MacArthur and The Masters Seminary are very well known by most all on this Board. But, I must tell you that Mr. MacArthur, although he holds to a form of Premillennialism would strongly oppose your "classical Dispensational" views! I must tell you that even as far back as 1982, MacArthur was teaching the perpetuity of the Moral Law. For, I heard him present this historic view personally. However, fredman would be most qualified to deal with the discontinuities between MacArthur's teaching and that of C.I. Scofield and John Nelson Darby.

No one can prove that dispensationalism is false, so you are beating a dead horse.

No one can prove that premillennialism is false.

No one can prove that pretribulation is false.

is, well...... naive? Because this system of theology has been thoroughly disputed and proven wrong since its inception 160+ years ago. Perhaps you have only been exposed to this teaching and haven't had the opportunity to read and/or hear the countless arguments against it. That would surely provide an answer why you are given to such bold statements.

Can I also assume that you haven't taken the time to read anything here: Eschatology: The Doctrine of Last Things

or, perhaps this one: Dispensationalism and the Bible

or, even this one: The Scofield Bible, Dispensationalism and the Salvation of the Jews
