Some more good observations. I'd like to point something out, at the risk of sounding authoritative. Many here say that "came out of dispensationalism" and therefore they know what they're talking about. But, gentlemen, by most of your definitions I AM a dispensationalist (PD, RB with Dispensational tendencies, pick your label). I don't blow the horn or run the flag. I'd rather run Calvin's, if I must run one in addition to Christ's. But, if the shoe fits, then so be it. The problem is, based on the hermeneutics that I know and abide by, the stereotyping espoused here is not necessarily inherent in the system. And I've been taught by some very well known and entrenched dispensationalists (Robert Thomas, for example). Those of you who know me, even when we disagree, know that I strive to be a careful exegete.
So let me ask, if you're going to make these assertions, either define your terms or show how dispensational hermeneutics lead one down the paths proposed here.
Mr. McFadderator,
I think your last paragraph is a good observation.
