What a saviour we have! How wonderful to have access to the most holy place, God's throne—all because the Son of God passed through the veil of his flesh.
Hey penned, thanks for your response! Just a few more questions, if you have time: 1) If disp. is the "false kingdom by military ethic," then what theological system is represented by the statement "traditional Kingdom ethic teaching of the church?" Are you saying that all disp.'s are not concerned with spreading the spiritual Gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world? 2) Are all representatives of dispensationalism wed to the Zionist movement? And if so, how? 3) Does the fact that Israel now rejects her Messiah mean that God's promises to the nation are null and void and that all Israel will not be saved, per Romans 9-11? Or are you defining Israel differently than is commonly understood? 4) Are you stating that all dispensationalists are at heart either culturally Marxist or theologically neutralized? And if so, what is it in dispensational theology that performs such a (for lack of a better term) neutering of spiritual power?
If you couldn't tell from my response, I happen to consider myself part of the dispensational camp, progressively speaking. That being said, I would like to hear your response and am open to examining my own position in light of Christian articulation and biblical light. Thanks if you can respond!

Could you please explain what you mean by dispensationalism being the foundation for liberation theology and eventually Marxist/Social Justice Theology?
well...this frog has been boiled one bubble at a time as a former elca member most people attending don't seem to understand that the elca no longer has a biblical stance having abandoned innerancy at its founding so how can its members complain that this is in violation of romans chapter one........... you have to embrace a better view of the bible to do that.
