Zionists believe the current state of Israel is the Israel of Bible prophecy.
Dispensationalists believe that prophecy about Israel is not fulfilled in Jesus Christ. They believe that Israel's covenant is along side the New Testament church, they separate Isreal from the New Testament.
The big thing that Dispensationalism does is concentrates on the physical kingdom and denies the spiritual kingdom.
Dispensationalists make the whole book of Revelation physical reality when the whole book is spiritual reality.
It doesn’t sound like you listened to the sermon prior to critiquing. If you’d like to listen to the sermon and point out specific errors, we can talk about those.
Again, biblical. Israel wasn’t established in 1948, it was established in the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 15. By God. In an unconditional covenant.
Right.
But the covenant was with Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob/Israel and his Israelite descendents. It was NOT with jews.
The thing in 1948 was for jews, not Israelites.
Weren’t the Israelites Jewish?
No.
Say more, please.

Thanks, I did listen to bits.
He got political, put down an anti-zionist and that is how I formed my opinion.
The theological discussion is not a smear on your pastor, I apologize if I came across that way.
I'm going to work in my lead in on this topic, I think it is very important to the body of Jesus Christ.
I'm not critiquing the sermon, I'm critiquing the underlying doctrine.
We're still friends

Good - we need friends
