The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Is Dispensationalism a Heresy?

Wes,

I'm not whether or not dispensationalism is a heresy or not. There are a lot different forms of it. It may be that some forms of it are and some are not. I guess it would be better if we could define a little more precisely what we have in mind when we say dispensationalism.

I do think your definition of heresy, as BibleRon pointed out, is overly broad. By your definition, any theological error would seem to be heresy since errors would not be emanating from God. In that case, we would all be heretics. Maybe we should discuss the definition of heresy a little more too so we don't go arguing around each other due to different definitions of the same word.
