Are you saying that this dispy-lite form (of eschatology) in your opinion is an acceptable form of hermeneutics, or to say it slightly blunter, that those adhering to it could be, possibly, correct or right? Or are you just saying that they aren't necessarily wrong?
<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> No..... sorry for any confusion. I reject ALL forms of Dispensationalism as erroneous. But what I'm saying is that the "Dispy-Lite" version of Dispensationalism, is far from the Classic Dispensationalism of Darby and Scofield. Those who hold the "Lite" do not believe in the radical discontinuity of the other by any stretch of the imagination. So, I do believe that this "Dispy-Lite" eschatology is unbiblical, but it isn't necessarily incompatible with the infamous Five Points of Calvinism. There are many who hold both, albeit despite whatever tension there may be between the two.

I simply wanted to avoid the all too uncommon and unfortunate mistake some make in equating the two views. Although they have some similarities in certain areas, e.g., the Israel/Church distinction, they are basically miles apart. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

FYI, I hold to A-millennialism. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
