Even the Boomers are rejecting the religious subversion of the American right now:
I’ve talked about dispensationalism a few times in various formats over the years on this blog and how it is utterly unsupportable when it comes to calling someone “privileged” from the standpoint of Christianity particularly as applies to Jewish people and/or Israel.
But Tucker Carlson went there in his recent show and in fact echoed what I’ve said for a long time: As a Christian if you espouse this you have committed Heresy and worse, you’ve stated a belief that those who disagree will be literally killed by God.
Tucker is right, by the way.
Israel, like every other nation, can deal with us as a peer and with respect but at no time will I or should anyone else consider them to have any means of “control” over the United States
Ever.
Period.
Full stop.Tucker further points out something even more important, which is that while heresy is an offense before God (assuming you believe in it, of course) when committed by people in political power, such as Lindsey Graham, it becomes something much more-serious in the secular world.
I think it’s a very easy and straightforward question for any honest individual. When do you consider America to have been more blessed?
- Prior to 31 January 1949
- After 31 January 1949
If your answer is (1), then there obviously is no reason to accept the Dispensationalist heresy or the subordination of Americans to any foreign people. And the point is further underlined by a historical question. When would you consider Spain to have been more blessed?
- Prior to March 31, 1492
- After March 31, 1492
The Golden Age of Spain is generally considered to begin in 1492, marked by the end of the Reconquista, Christopher Columbus’s voyages, and the publication of Antonio de Nebrija’s Grammar of the Castilian Language. It ended around 1659 with the Treaty of the Pyrenees, though some extend it to 1681, after the death of Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
Now, keep in mind that I don’t accept the Dispensationalist metric in the first place. I certainly don’t regard heretical theology as a sound basis for making decisions about financial budgets or foreign policy. But it’s always most effective to answer one’s opponent in the terms he is capable of understanding.
