What's interesting to me is that most of the dispys I know (which are most of the Christians I know) have no idea why they believe what they believe. If you try to discuss any other viewpoint (like CT) they accuse you of spiritualizing the Scriptures. Most of the dispys I know come from a Calvary Chapel background (which prides itself on "clear Bible teaching"). If their teaching is so clear, why is it most of their attendees are unable (and unwilling) to debate on the hermeneutic to which they so fervently cling? It drives me crazy, because it seems that most of the Christians that the unbelieving world encounters today are dispensationalists who cannot logically debate their position. No wonder unbelievers think Christians are a bunch of kooks - that's what they see.
