This has no relevance to what I believe.
I came from a family of Pantheists.
My grandmother gave me Blavatsky's books, among others, in the 60's and 70's.
I was deeply lost in eastern mysticism and the Lord Jesus delivered me and miraculously saved me in 1979. You have no idea the darkness that I was in. The Lord Jesus brought me into the light and I have experiential knowledge of both worlds to compare to.
I know what Theosophy is. For years I wore on my wrist a medallion, which I made, with the words, "There is no religion higher than truth."
I also know what Freemasonry is all about.
My belief system is Bible centered and has no harmony with any of these teachings. I know the difference.
If this Darby, which you continually preach, had connections with these systems and did not renounce them then I'm sorry for him.
I do not follow Darby or any of these teachings.
As I told you before, I came to a dispensational understanding of the Bible by simply reading it literally before I ever heard of the word 'dispensationalism'. I never read any of the folks which you seem to be obsessed with.
You do a great disservice to believers when you insist that they believe the Bible from a Satanic influence.
Hogwash!
That's too bad for your family.
Well... for those who remained lost.
Ok, then you should have been familiar with the quotes, or at least the gist of the quotes.
No, not necessarily.
Yes!
Yes, everyone was in darkness before they were saved, some more so than others.
That's good.
Yep!
That should be good knowledge if you ever have to tell someone today who is into Theosophy about Christ Jesus.
Yep! I have contrasted the truth of the Bible with the false teachings of Blavatsky, Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, Jidu Krisnamurti, and a host of others for over thirty years.
I believe you if we look at it from a salvation point.
:idunno:
However, if we look at it from a systematic point, or a eschatological point, I disagree with you.
I already knew that.
Do you really think the Theosophy terms Darby used are just a coincidence?
Aleister Crowley came from the Plymouth Brethren. Do you think that's a coincidence?
I'm not obsessed with it like you are.
This is where you lose all credibility.
When I said, "I don't follow any of these teachings", I was referring to Blavatsky and the like, not to the dispensational understanding if Scripture.
When a Dispensationalist says they don't follow Darby, then I immediately know they are in denial.
I really don't care anymore what you think about it.
Your Preterist teachings have made it even more clear to me that a dispensational understanding makes so much more sense. You have failed again and again to persuade me to your understanding.
I can see how you could absolutely drive someone MAD.
I read your posts. Your a HUGE Zionist. Everything you post about Zionism comes from Darby.
GOD's promises concerning Zion come directly from His inspired Scripture. I don't care what Darby believed. You're obsessed.
Nope.
This is always the answer Dispies love to give. They think if they can say they never read any of Darby or heard of Darby, it proves they aren't a follower of Darby.
I don't follow Darby. You're obsessed.
Somewhere, somehow, you heard the teachings of Darby from a pastor, from a friend, from a radio, from TV, from a book, from a magazine, etc. from someone who was taught by, someone who was taught by, someone who was taught by John Nelson Darby.
Whoopty-doo!
I believe Dispensationalism has it's roots in satanism.
Suit yourself.
Dispensationalists deny the New Covenant
You're broad brush......again.
Dispensationalists claim Jesus is going to oversee animal sacrifices
Dispensationalists claim God still has a plan with certain fleshly people
What Ezekiel and the other prophets proclaim. You don't believe GOD.
These beliefs are a slap in the face to what Christ Jesus accomplished on the cross.
No....they're not. All the promises of GOD are yes in Christ Jesus.
Your shoe is on the wrong eschatological foot.
