Say it's anecdotal if you want, but I was raised in charasmatic dispensationalism and the paranoia was real. @ADRoblesMedia had someone close to him who never had kids because of dispensationalism. I met a man at one of our conferences who came to me in tears, because in the 70s

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Guys, don't become the Leighton Flowers of eschatology (calls his ministry Soteriology 101, but he's only interested in anti-Calvinism, not soteriology). If you're going to hate on dispensationalism and not give it a fair shake, change your name.

@Pastor_Gabe @ADRoblesMedia 99.9999 percent of our content is pro reformed eschatology. And when we do address dispensationslism substantially, we invite their own experts on for accurate representation. I even had a dispensational speak at our first conference. The guy that posts our podcasts is a

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia That’s not dispensationalism…

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Wow… that’s some rough stuff man. I’ve seen some of that myself in different ways

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia That’s absolutely not dispensationalism.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Like others have pointed out here - what you are describing is not genuine dispensationalism at all. It would be like judging post and amils by NAR heretics here or prosperity charlatans in Africa wreaking all kinds of havoc. In fact, dispensationalism is hardly known or

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia I've been going to Dispensational churches for my entire 40 years. Went to a Dispy seminary. I've never heard of anyone putting off marriage. If anything, we minimize singleness and emphasize marriage too much in Dispy circles. This may have happened a few times but it's rare.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Are you asserting that Darby, Chafer, Ryrie, Walvoord, or Vlach would have counseled them to never have kids or plan for the future?

@Eschatology22 Dispensationalism and it's not even close.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia My father refused to save for retirement because the rapture would happen before he got to that point. Whole swaths of missionaries opted out of social security and didn't save for retirement because it wouldn't be needed...

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia And that is without mentioning the horrible foreign policy, the cultural disengagement and general apathy towards advancing the kingdom.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia And yet, there are fringe reformed folks who don’t see any point in evangelism. That doesn’t mean the doctrine itself is a problem. Rather, it is a problem of application and understanding. Just because a few fringe dispies are confused doesn’t mean the idea itself is bad.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Looks like you haven't left the charismatic part behind, as you still appeal to emotions rather than to the Bible.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia You know, not everyone knows these Christianese terms like “dispensationalism.” If you want to be more relatable and more relevant, you could include some clues for the uninitiated about just what it is that you’re talking about. Just a thought.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia I remember praying to God as a small child and begging him not to take my mom and dad away from me. Many sleepless nights, even as a kid, because I was scared I'd wake up alone.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia After going through two dispensational schools (college and seminary) and listening to dispensational preaching for years, this is the first I have ever heard of things like this.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia I have never heard any dispensationalist tell anyone not to have kids.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Same thing with being raised seventh day adventist, fortunately I never let it stop my plans for life but before I left that nonsense for a real church it was super stressful always in the back of my mind (SDA believe in extreme end times persecution for those that don't know)

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia “ recite this prayer and you will be guaranteed to go to heaven no matter what.”

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia This critique reminds me of reading After the Ball. A late 80s book on how to create a gay revolution in America. They claimed that the American denomination most likely to help them were the Presbyterians. Does this mean Presbyterianism encourages homosexuality? No.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia An elderly man I’m close to shared with me how the pre-mill dispensationalism that he was taught when he went to an AoG church discouraged him from making good investment decisions that could’ve benefited his family.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Now I’m getting paranoid that the dispensationalism is going to come out of my closet at night and get me! Eeek!

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia I say that’s more due to a weak theology of creation. If you know your marching orders how you think a particular battle will end for you is of less importance.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Extreme outliers.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia I would say it's wrongly dividing the word of truth with a little fear mongering. I have my own experiences that God saved me out of that i will never return to again.

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Sounds like they didn't fully put their trust in God. Why delay having kids? If you're scared of the events to unfold in the end times you're obviously holding back something in your life from God. He provides for the lillies of the field, no?

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Fun fact: Historically, the church & society got more liberal/progressive without pushback from the church because of postmilennialism! So in actuality, postmil theology has hurt the greatest number of people

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia Definitely wasn’t dispensationalism but keep spreading that false garbage!

@Eschatology22 @ADRoblesMedia This may be silly to ask as someone who subscribes to dispensationalism and understands both its theology and implications but—why???
