@ArchLuminous @RambleMan51 I do believe I saw a statistic that 49% of Christian women are ok with dating someone outside their faith. Furthermore, the study's participates mentioned that unbelievers pursue them more than believers.

@smashbaals its an odd tension indeed.

Historically, we have seen what happens when the state and Church merge.

However, we know that politics and policy are rooted in some form of foundational virtue ethic, which is ultimately downstream of theology for both theist and atheist.

@JesstersDead @SolaSixMillion Its really easy to understand! Just adopt a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic and you are well on your way!

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@cavalier973 Whether Churches accept it or not does not necessarily make it false. This would just be band-wagoning.

@IndianLuke @BriannaWu Dispensationalism does not prescribe Zionism. It makes a distinction between the Church and Israel derived from a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic.

@PeterSilliman @IsMrAndre @JosephSwar86703 This is a strawman of what Dispensationalism teaches. There is no salvation outside of God's revelation. This is core Dispensational thought

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@Lumichaoss There is beauty in diversity. Even diversity of thought. Difference of opinions/interpretations can lead to quality conversations and even enhanced critical thinking.

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@osasisHERESY OSAS believes that salvation is through Christ alone. We also believe that Christ preserves His elect (Jn 17:12).

The term "evangelical" has morphed into a vague definition. It is now synonymous with culture, politics, race, and even sexual identification. The term, as @CoryMMarsh2 coined, is jello-like.

With that, I am not surprised to see these statistics.

[Mick Milee @MickMilee]

57% of evangelicals believe most people are good by nature.
That directly contradicts the Bible.
56% believe God accepts the worship of ALL religions.
That directly contradicts Christianity.
43% don't believe Jesus is God.
That directly contradicts the entire point.
These are people who call themselves Christians.
You don't have a faith problem in the church.
You have a definition problem.

@DiscipleFidei Joseph Smith did not anticipate the internet lol

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@jaxmarie82 @DiscipleFidei To be fair, Satan quoted from Scripture as well.

[Dispyology @dispyology]

This question often arises, more so in the evangelical camp.

There are a couple reasons we should avoid sin. First, sin has natural consequences. The wages of sin is death according to Paul's letter to the Romans. In other words, sin has wages attached to it. Now it is true that the truly regenerate has had their wages paid in full at the Cross. However, there are real consequences in this life. If you commit the crime, then you will do the time.

Second, sin mares our witness for Christ. We cannot fully represent the joy of the Lord when we ourselves are A) suffering the consequences of our sin, and B) behaving as if the power of the Gospel has no effect on us.

Thirdly, while it is true that a true regenerate believer can never be separated from Christ, sin does hinder our relationship with God. Be it ego when we refuse to repent and cannot honestly surrender. Be it shame where we, like Adam, hide from God.

I am sure there are more reasons, but these should be adequent enough to motivate the regenerate to run from sin.

[The Vine @Thevine_ntwk]

How do you answer this as a Christian:

If God's grace is enough for our sins, both past, present and future, then why are we required to live a righteous life?

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@Exodus15_11 I would argue that Dispensationalism and Reformed theology go hand in hand. Both elevate the sovereignty of God.

In fact, a return to a literal historical-grammatical hermenutic of Scripture is what birthed the Reformation.

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@_P3te_Belcher @jerr_rrej Pride often blinds. However, I would not be surprised if he experienced some hurt from within the church

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@xonphused Yeah, the New Testament was written in Koine Greek. Thus, every reference to Christ was in Greek

[Dispyology @dispyology]

Dispensationalism does not, nor has it ever, placed any faith in a "resurgence of national Israel."

It does, however, provide a distinction between the Church and Israel derived from a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic.

Zionism is a cultural fad, and not a prescription of Dispensationalism.

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@eth39232 @Lumichaoss Yeah but you guys are all over the place with the Church's birth. Some say Acts 9 while others say Acts 28. Acts 2 provides the clearest, and more objective, indication with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[Dispyology @dispyology]

@godlywomanhood Wouldn't that be insulting to justify women preaching because a donkey talked?
