Is Dispensationalism a cult?

Because the bible is explained in a way that makes more sense.

I sort of doubt that.Perhaps you can explain why it makes sense to say that Genesis was written for people BEFORE Moses. Traditionally authorship is ascribed to Moses. Scholars date it's final redaction to the Babylonian Exile.

I don't like the idea that Jesus was never born of a virgin and is likely not alive. I simply don't accept that.

---

Only liberal Christians doubt the virgin birth (although I can't see why it's important at all) and even they say that Jesus is alive. So neither is a reason to go to Dispensationalism.

---

While I may allow that God expects us to question things and think for ourselves, I believe that many people deny the need for Christ or the power. This world will never solve its problems through logic, reason, and reality alone.

I don't see how this has anything to do with specifically embracing Dispensationalism.So let's stick to "making sense of the Bible" because that's the only thing you attribute to Dispensationalism specifically.

So how does Dispensationalism, particularly make sense of the Bible ?That's the question I was asking.And - at least as important - what sort of sense ?

quote:

---

When we look at a passage, we ask ourselves the following questions:

​

1) Who said it?

​

2) To whom was it being said?

​

3) Which time period was it in?(for example...before or after the resurrection...)

​

4) Circumstances and context.

That's hardly specific to Dispensationalism. And from your post in the other thread it seems that Dispensationalists (or at least some of them) have odd ideas about when Genesis was written and who it was written for.To point to another example, can you be a Dispensationalist and accept that Daniel was written (as a number of documents) during the period around the Maccabaean revolt, for loyal Jews to encourage them to defy their conqueror ? If not, then your description of Dispensationalism above is seriously misleading.
