Long story short, it’s not about religion, it’s not even about some movement.
The core division of man that we are watching play out today is that of Sovereignty vs. Imperialism.
Sovereignty comes with requirements - if one man doesn’t respect another’s sovereignty, or one group another group’s collective jurisdiction, it is much harder for respect to be reciprocated and conflict becomes increasingly likely.
Labels make things much more difficult as well, as they (often unintentionally, but sometimes strategically) ensnare innocents into a guilt compact with bad actors and misguided efforts.
I strongly believe that we are in a period where discernment and clear language should be developed to help with moving forward into a time of healing and progress - a period where the best is arriving, or even unfolding, rather than yet to come.

I didn’t catch that. Wasn’t part of what I was referring to.

This seems like a fairly good summary of “both sides”, and It doesn’t seem like either one is fully correct or fully wrong.
It also uses a second definition of dispensationalism from what I’ve understood it to be, which continues to be weird. Both definitions are likely wrong, but it’s odd how they don’t seem to line up.
