Re: Dispensationalism II
.... When people (including Neto) speak of the "modern teaching of the 'imminent return of Christ'" are they referring to something that could include views other than Darby's view? At some level, don't all Christians believe Jesus could come back at any time? .... I should do a bit of st...

Re: Dispensationalism II
Is this the beginning of the modern teaching of the "Imminent Return of Christ" doctrine, or had it been proposed prior to this? Seiss, writing in the 1860s, was adopting Darby's view of the immiment rapture, which Darby developed in the 1830s. But did Darby really...? Or did he just put ...

Re: Dispensationalism II
I got Daniel Hummel's The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism for Christmas this year, and it has a bunch. Can we start with this one? It's actually 150 years old and in Europe, not the middle east, but it's a real classic: .... The solution was simple: "We should, therefore, learn to interpose...

Re: Appalachian Mennonite Church
I know this thread meandered a bit….such is life. I do wonder, does anyone KNOW, not a single person telling someone here their opinion, but really know on a more wide spread basis, has there been a groundswell of feeling in Eastern about unfair or troublesome ordination practices? "Losing the...

Dispensationalism II
Over the last 75 years, many people influenced by Dispensationalist teachers, have found all sorts of verses in the Bible that seem to them to find fulfillment in events happening in the Mideast and how countries around the world respond to these events. Every decade or so, they need to come up wit...

Re: Musical Instruments
Respectfully, no Josh. "conservative" is not a well defined thing. using the terms devised by one converted River Brethern who wrote a book doesn't constitute well defined. FWIIW, within the context of what he was writing about, I'm well on aboard with his terminology. But to assume it's ...

Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.
It seems worth reiterating at this point that not all of us pre-mill types are wholesale Dispensationalists, nor do we all pin all of our hopes and dreams on particular dates and exactly assumed timeline, even if we see a chronological order suggested in Scripture. 8-) I concur that it is good to r...

Re: Transitional Anabaptist churches

Re: Is there a relationship between eschatology and how one experiences society
It may be that how one experiences society affects one's eschatology. George M. Marsden finds that the late-19th century changes in American society removed evangelicals from a place of prominence. Postmillenial optimism gave way to premillenial pessimism about the direction of society. Marsden's bo...
