Grew as young adult in dispensationalism only to toss it ASAP

“My husband and I came out of the Reformed and Lutheran traditions and after marrying attended a fundamentalist General Baptist church for 9 years- great people and fellowship. But we weee bathed in dispensationalism and wondered why our previous traditions didn’t talk about eschatology. We had a visiting speaker over for dinner who was changing to a mid-Trob rapture and “stirring up all kinds of trouble.” We saw it he was realistic that the church is not exempt from “worldly” trials and tribulation and relying on the Rapture was a fever dream of escape. Within a couple of years of leaving we ditched dispensationalism wholly as we learned how new a teaching it is in light of church history. Can’t say we’ve found a replacement but we see the detritus dispensationalism has left in our culture and in right wing politics: you can call a liar and adulterer “your” president who’s been sent by God and let injustice rule as long as God picks you up to avoid the consequences of your willful blindness to how you are leaving the world. I personally still reject dispensationalism as a whole, but do believe in a literal return of Jesus Christ. Your discussion, especially the cultural effects and its distinct American flavor that not just lingers but invades everything. How white Christian nationalism with its postmillenialist view (and intended national policies in Project 2025 paper) fits with it is terribly unclear making a current eschatology inherently contradictory and messy. Thank you for a great thought provoking in discussion.”

“There are some great insights to be had here. Minus 2 stars for the blatant skew toward the host’s personal politic. A politically unbiased show this is not, but if you have the wisdom to see through the host’s occasional underhanded comment or condescending inflection toward those with a...”Read full review »
