Wouldn't the whole concept of the Lord having a latter day "recovery" of the Church using a city model before the 2nd coming be extra-biblical in itself?
You say don't confuse correlation with causation. Doesn't Paul ask rhetorically, "What relationship does light have with darkness?" Either doctrine is rooted in God's truth or it's a lie. Both predate any official position, denominational or not.
I see God's original intent was for us to have dominion over the land and animals in Genesis but where does scripture teach this kind of dominion after the fall? Isn't it more reasonable to assume this privilege was forfeit by sin? Dominionism is the belief that we are to reclaim that responsibility before the Lord's coming and interjecting it within politics and religion as well. This doctrine would be considered extra-biblical.
