Boanerges,

I'm afraid I have to disagree in this respect.

How does one define "heresy"?

If it is defined by its effect on the salvation and understanding of the Gospel by others, in my opinion it is heresy.

Dispensationalism, in effect, posits a salvation aside for the Jew due to (assumed) OT promises to the physical nation of Israel. It (dispensationalism) disregards the Mosaic covenant of obedience to the law, which required perfect obedience on BOTH sides of the covenant (In which Jesus Alone fulfilled). The question remains: What were the Jews chosen for? I think this would be answered in this forum, by most, in that they were chosen to bring the OT Scripture and the Messiah (Jesus) into this world for all believers. It is my belief that this dispensational heresy presently excuses and RELIGIOUSLY FAVORS the unbelief of the Talmudic and secular zionist Jew. This political favor is entrenched by tens of millions of Arminian and pre-millennial dispensationalist, "Christian" Americans.(Thanks, in part, to some 80 million copies of the "Left Behind" books)

What I have just said may be proved by the fact that more than a half of ALL U.S. foreign aid has gone to Israel (billions upon billions) for the last many, many years. I think it is obvious (and I'm not going to argue) that there IS a biased and politically correct (and politically entrenched) view of who is the "bad guy" in the Middle East war(s). This favoritism was well entrenched before 9/11.

A good share of this money has bought tanks and guns that enforce a multi-millennial hatred of the Jew for the Palestinian (and of course, it takes two to make a battle).

Does dispensationalism result in murder, war, and hatred?
I think all one need do is read the headlines or watch the U.S. military march and die in the Middle East. I guess it could well be summed up by the dispensational and Arminian heretic Jerry Falwell who loves to say; "He who fights against the Jew, fights against God". (He says this from his Lear Jet which was donated as a gift to him by the nation Israel)

All of the above should make a thoughtful person wonder about the wisdom (spiritual and secular) in the forced and terrorist facilitated establishment of the modern state of Israel in the first place.

Lets see now, what was it that Luther and Calvin said, ----something about "Justification by Faith Alone"? I may be wrong but it is my belief that this includes the Jew as well as the Moslem.

It is therefore my belief that pre-millennial dispensationlism due to its denial of the Gospel and murderous outcome is a heresy of the very worst and deadliest kind.
