    The Scripture teaches that God dealt/deals with people through Covenants. Justin Martyr is just as wrong as Darby and all his disciples.


    So Darby goes him three better. That proves nothing other than they had fertile imaginations. That is where error starts though Darby did admit to Divine revelation.

    What is dishonest is to deny that Darby is the father of dispensational error and that Scofield was his ardent disciple whose reference Bible spread the error of dispensationalism to a gullible public.

    One can read the Bible through and find the word Dispensation used only 4 times, all in the New Testament. He/She will find numerous reference to covenants. As i said earlier the Scripture teaches that God dealt/deals with people through Covenants, not dispensations.

    In defining the "sine qua non" of dispensationalism Charles Ryrie writes [Dispensationalism, page 39] quoting Chafer: "The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved, which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity [Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism ]." Ryrie writes about the above statement: This is probably the most basic theological test of whether or not a person is a dispensationalist, and it is undoubtedly the most practical and conclusive. The one who fails to distinguish Israel and the Church consistently will inevitably not hold to dispensational distinctives; and the one who does will.

    Here we have the most egregious error of dispensationalism, an error which leads to the doctrine of the "parenthesis" Church.

    So who are the chosen people of God at this time in history, the Jews or the true believers in Jesus Christ? Dispensationalism does not "rightly divide the word of truth" though Scofield wrote a book by that name it splinters it.

    Thankfully there is a movement within dispensationalism to move away from the more radical errors of classic dispensationalism approaching covenant premillennialism which holds an orthodox doctrine of the Church.
