But if anyone else, whether it be the author of Left Behind or your beloved sister in law, thinks God will behave differently than you do, you have every right to fear for their souls until they are willing to submit to your loving instruction. Go ahead, torture yourself emotionally until your sister-in-law relents. Even if she only does it at first out of pity for you and a desire to end your pain, she'll eventually come to understand that it was The Right Thing To Do and be grateful to you for your sacrifice. That's what God wants you to do. <br /><br />Seriously, Chicken Little could be someone I know and love. I guess God hardening our hearts translates, in these post-New Testament days, to not wanting to submit to emotional blackmailers.Fiat Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441862977921307080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-2095969556675631272009-05-07T13:56:00.000-04:002009-05-07T13:56:00.000-04:00I'm fairly certain that having read all of the Har...I'm fairly certain that having read all of the Harry Potters I am now qualified to wage magical war.

Well at least the ones that fully understand it. A lot of Christians have bought into it without really understanding it. Basically it divides the Bible into 7 dispensations. Supposedly, according to Scofield who was the one that made this popular, we are living in the 6th dispensation.<br /><br />Basically what the creators of this idea did was chop a bunch of out of context scriptures together and say it was a hidden overarching storyline (most people just call this quote mining). Then they of course sold it to the church (gots to make teh money biz natches). It is really insane when you start to look at.<br /><br />This website offers a brief overview of Scofield's PMD ideas. His was the first popular view of this.<br /><br /><A HREF="" REL="nofollow">http://www.gracenotes.info/topics/dispensations.html</A>BeamStalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772110446629492132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-23451424066469614292009-05-07T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:04:00.000-04:00it's not you, elizabeth, it's her.it's not you, elizabeth, it's her.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-71618586953057963022009-05-07T09:17:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:17:00.000-04:00I'm new here and love your blog.
