I would have to say though that when it comes to eschatology it is very hard to come to a exact truth. As I read Jeff's link to "Paul's theology of Israel's Future", I was reminded that there have been Orthodox preachers and teachers that have been Postmill and Amill. When It comes down to certain scriptures, I have to admit to myself that my glasses are still cloudy and that there is a certain amount of mystery that only God understands.

But does Dispensationalism just cover eschatology? No it covers a wide amount of doctrine and definitely affects a persons overall view of Scripture and lays a definite foundation and presupposition.

Knowing Godly people though who are Dispensationalists and also thinking about John MacArthur, it is clear that Dispensationalism is not a stumbling block to saving faith.

But as I understand Heresy, it is breaking away from Orthodoxy. So it is my understanding that Dispensationalism is definitely a system of doctrine that breaks away from Orthodox Christianity.

So under this understanding I will have to admit that I view dispensationalism as heresy.


Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
