The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Are Calvinism and Premillennialism Incompatible?

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Of course, there are others who could easily refute all of this.</font><hr></blockquote><p>I'm sorry you made this statement, my sister. For from the very beginning, when Darby first introduced this error of Dispensationalism, hordes of theologians, pastors and even common laymen wrote against it and showed incontrovertibly that the Bible teaches no such thing. Literally thousands of rebuttals have been written against it and soundly disproving it. The fact that it became popular is no proof that it teaches any truth. Personally, I was taught this stuff when I first was converted. But through God's marvelous providence, it made no sense to me from the beginning and I cast it off as chaff.<br><br>From a totally different perspective, I began studying the Dispensational phenomena from a historical view. I began to understand the circumstances wherein all this happened. It was during this time that the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses came into being as well as the push by German Liberalism. The spiritual state of the church was pitiful. People were starving for truth but because of their hunger they were devouring anything and everything that came along that satisfied them. The same can be seen in the inception and rise to popularity of Pentecostalism. When the truth once delivered unto the saints is weak or lacking all together, people will grasp at anything within their reach because they lack a firm foundation.<br><br>My hope is, of course, that these dialogs will lead you to a more open investigation and study of these things and that the Lord will reveal to you how much error has been given the Church of the Lord Christ over these past 150 years. I personally believe that things are only going to degenerate in the future; perhaps even until the Lord comes to usher in the New Heaven and New Earth.
