The topic of the thread was my entire point! I wasn't changing the subject!
Whether one is discussing eschatology or soteriology or any other aspect of doctrine, the issue can only be rightly discussed dispensationally. That's why I said what I said. The errors that compound one upon another into a mountain of disinformation and false teaching is a wonder to behold when people pick a pet topic and start diving into it without giving a single thought as to who the passages that they are reading were written to or about.
You read Moses' writing and know that you need apply what he wrote to your own life directly. The principles hold but the specifics relate to a group that you know intuitively that you're not a part of. But as soon as you start into anything at all in the New Testament, you just assume without cause, that it all is speaking directly to you as a believer. This is in spite of the fact that there isn't any way to do that in a consistent manner.
In short, because you fail to rightly divide the word of truth, nearly every syllable you've said on this thread about the Apocalypes is either flatly false or falsely applied or both. Indeed, much of what you've said here doesn't even qualify as orthodox Christianity by anyone's standard (i.e. dispensational or otherwise).
