Hardly likely Michael. If enough support can be drummed up? Who knows what can happen...
Well, the same concept works with the other price points as well, but thousands of $8 bids couldn't hurt. [8-|]
Currently Clarence Larkin Collection (6 vols.) has enough community pricing bids for $ 20. If enough more bids are placed for $ 20, then community price for all bidders could be lower: $ 16, $ 12, or $ 8.
Thankful community pricing is already $ 12 less than my bid; hoping for more community bids before Noon Pacific time this Friday. The diagrams look awesome.
Keep Smiling [:)]

Sorry, I don't think it's worth $8 with its guache charts based on a rather bizarre view (I grew up in a dispensational, fundamentalist church so I know whereof I speak).
That was diplomatic. I do believe you are mellowing in your golden years.
What would be cool is if they could tie the charts to the reverse interlinears, that way someone could click on the root word, and be immediately taken to that place in Biblical history or prophesy. It would be just like having a PhD in Biblical studies.
Particularly when it comes to dispensationalism I don't care to be diplomatic. Those people simply don't know how to read a book. They run across something which reminds them of something else and immediately they're off on a discussion the author of the book had no intention of bringing up. READ WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE CONTEXT IN WHICH IT IS PLACED.
[Y] ...funny, but that pretty much sums up the thoughts I was having this morning over a recent encounter with a good friend who's a dispensationalist! [:D]
Why limit the discussion to dispies, maybe it's time for a good old-fashioned free-for-all? [8-|]
I agree with the Sentiment of context, there is a great need not to make scripture say something it does not or read into the scriptures something that is not there for the sake of "good preaching". I have attended several Dispensational teaching churches and went to a small Bible college that taught dispensations. So i do not have any beef with the teaching of dispensations; I find it's much like anything else, you can take it to far. I have been taught by Pastors, and more greatly my father, who is a pastor, that Balance is the key to a majority of things in the ministry.
I have a missionary friend who ran across hyper dispensationalist, who would only preach from the writings of the Apostle-Paul, In my personal opinion that is way too extreme, neglecting all other scripture; for you feel it is not for our dispensation. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitible......"
Of course this is personal opinion; feel free to disagree. I apologize for hijacking for a brief moment.

Back on topic: My bid is placed

What is this - bash the dispensationalist time?

LOL - not me...I'm surrounded by them. I was just tickled at George's post because I said basically the same thing to a dear brother (a dispensationalist) a couple of days ago. I sent him a link to this thread - it tickled him also!!!
For the record...my bid is in at $32!
(I grew up in a dispensational, fundamentalist church so I know whereof I speak).
From that experience, you know the teaching of ONE dispensationalist Church. That hardly gives you the perspective to condemn all dispensationalists.

Let's put it another way. I practically walked around with a Schofield Reference Bible in my hip pocket and read various commentaries from that viewpoint so I know more than the view of just one church.
What is the viewpoint we're talking about here, I'm relatively new to church craziness. I'm thinking a private answer would be a good way to go. [8-|]

Big hips George? None of my Scofield Bibles would fit in a pocket.
I think it is only fair to give Larkin a shot at presenting his system. Just because he does it in a visual medium instead of strictly text on the page should not classify it as Sunday Comics. I think he did a good job of scaring several generations of Sunday School kids (as Rosie already mentioned.)
I paid $37 for the hardback version of Dispensational Truth and I ended up giving it to my brother (a pastor) because I found it dogmatic. When I changed my mind and requested it be returned, he refused with a smile. My bid is in.
I think it would be fun to print one of the charts on manila envelopes you mail out. The recipients will talk about it all day. [^o)]
That was, of course, figuratively speaking.

Then they'll think know know that you're a kook. You may be a nice guy and you have a right to your opinions, but who in their right mind would print one of those on an envelope?
I didn't say I'd put my return address on it. ? [E] ?
At the annual Oklahoma State Fair there is an exhibit displaying the main dispensational chart from Larkin's book. It is used as an effective evangelistic tool. The booth attendants are very friendly, not pushy at all.
My favorite chart in the resource is from the book of Daniel.
