Featured Dispensation of Heresy documentary.

Do you actually want us to watch this whole 1 1/2 hour video? By a guy who starts out by calling Dispensationalism a "dangerous heresy"? That's what he get's wrong from the very start. I saw no need to watch past that. (Plus, the opening music was awful. ) I'll say this further: by calling Dispensationalism a "dangerous heresy," he shows that he is clueless about the historical meaning of the term, used for things like Arianism, the Marcionites, the JW's, and so on.

Here's the truth. Dispensationalism is based on a literal hermeneutic. Thus, it will never, ever lead to theological liberalism. It teaches us that (1) God is actively at work in history; (2) Jesus will come back to reign for 1000 years, fulfilling the Davidic Covenant; (3) the glory of God should be paramount in our theology, never our glory. And much more.

 

In my humbled opinion this is bull. If there are no dispensations then certainly the Bible has lied to us all.
1Co_9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
Eph_1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph_3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Col_1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

Paul was a dispensationalist whether you like it or not. Calvinism is heresy. It's not found in the Bible. Not taking scripture literally is what is wrong with Calvinism. These guys talk about taking God's word literally like it's sin. I take God's Word literally because I respect what God has to say. Those who don't are just philosophers.

How many different 'ways of salvation' are in Dispy? 7?, 12?
How many Resurrections and 'Returns of Christ'? 3, 5, 7?
Nothing constructive can be said for all it's imagined, but genuine heresies.

So far, the first five minutes are beautiful.

Thank you, for putting me in touch with these men.

1.0.3b The Gospel of The Kingdom #1; 20th Century ‘Dispensationalism’ is practically identical to LOST 1st Century JEWS who CRUCIFIED JESUS

 

One.

One resurrection, one return.

These are the kind of ridiculous accusations people ignorant about the theology make.

 

When Jesus 'returns' to speak to the Jews, Personally, you don't have to, right?

Which one of His 'returns' is that?

It's all a Satanic fantasy.

Satanic Fantacy is not a Bible Heurmenutic.



1.0.3b The Gospel of The Kingdom #1; 20th Century ‘Dispensationalism’ is practically identical to LOST 1st Century JEWS who CRUCIFIED JESUS

There is ONE Eternal Covenant of Grace that has been Administerered,
by "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
Hebrews 1:1,2

Dispensation meaning:
The Period of Stewardship and Administration of
THE ACTS OF THE GRACE OF GOD
TOWARDS AND UPON HIS ELECT this TIME
(Patriarchal State, Mosaic, the Times of David and the Prophets, etc., etc.)


These are those Administration Periods stated appropriately:

Hope of Israel – Philip Mauro

• Not Paying Heed to Jewish Fables – Part 1 of ‘The Hope of Israel’

• On the Literal Interpretation of Prophecy – Part 2 of ‘The Hope of Israel’

The main purpose of this chapter
On the Literal Interpretation of Prophecy – Part 2 of ‘The Hope of Israel’
is to demonstrate that the contrast in Scripture
is not between the spiritual and the literal,
but between the spiritual and the natural.
A passage of Scripture, when taken ‘literally,’
may refer either to ‘that which is natural’
or to ‘that which is spiritual.’

In other words, the literal interpretation
may call for a thing which exists in the realm of nature,
or for the counterpart of that thing
which exists in the realm of spiritual realities

(1 Cor. 15:46; Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.)

This is of critical importance,
since the advocates of modern dispensationalism
have wrought confusion,
and have succeeded in giving plausibility
to many misinterpretations of Scripture
by first taking for granted that a ‘literal’ interpretation
necessarily calls for something material or natural,
and then insisting strenuously that all prophecies
which refer to Israel, Jerusalem, Zion, etc.,
should be interpreted in such a way.

I checked several places in the film, just to be fair. At one point they talk about kabbalah. What in the world does that have to do with the subject? I really didn't want to find out, so I skipped some more.

Then at the end, we have the notorious pastor Steve Anderson preaching. If you want to be associated with Steve Anderson, go ahead, but I certainly won't.

 

I have no idea what you are talking about here. Jesus does what? And I don't have to what?

 

IMO, what people like me call dispensations are God's means of schooling us (Gal. 3:24-25) to show sinful humankind that they cannot meet the conditions, so that only by grace through faith can we be saved. The fact that Bible scholars don't agree on the number of dispensations is irrelevant to that truth.

 

Sounds good to me.

 

I’m sure my understanding of dispensation theology is limited, so maybe you can help me.

Do you believe there is a separate future for national Israel and the church?

If so, how is that belief reconciled with Paul’s teaching in Eph. that Christ abolished the OT law and made Jews and Gentiles “one new man” in Christ by His death on the cross.

If the “one new man” is separated into two groups once again doesn’t that require that the work of Jesus’s death in bringing the two groups together must be undone?

I don’t see how it is possible to undo this joining.

peace to you

 

That would have to be a fringe type of dispensationalism. Scofield wrote something in one note of his reference Bible that has been construed to mean a works salvation in OT dispensations, but that possibility is denied by revised dispensationalism as taught by Charles Ryrie in his book, Dispensationalism. Ryrie wrote, "The positive teaching of dispensational writers is that salvation is always through God's grace" (p. 124). He then gives a great quote on that line from Chafer's Systematic Theology.

 

I would not put it that way. I believe that there is a salvation future for Israel at the time of the 2nd Coming. At that time

Dispensationalism does not deny that Christ fulfilled (not abolished; Matt. 5:17) the law. It does not deny that Jews and Gentiles are all one in Christ through His death on the cross. You are saying these things without giving any actual quotes from dispensationalists, so I am answering them simply.

I don't see how it is possible to undo that either. I don't get what your point is in reference to dispensationalism. Do you have any quotes for me to interact with?

 

Yes, Dispensationalism, by Charles Ryrie, discusses this fully, and also hyper-dispensationalism. As most dispensational theologians are nowadays, I fall in the revised dispensationalism group.

A little book by Michael Vlach, Dispensationalism: Essential Beliefs and Common Myths, also does a good job of explaining the different types, and is a very reasonable price.

 

There are faults and problems in all theological views, as I hold to more Covenant theology view, but could make a movie on "heresy: of Infant baptism and how saying God "done" with Israel paved way for Holocaust!

 

Calvinism NOT heresy, but full free will Gospel is!

 

I have read though where some who teach Dispy have up to 7 resurrections, and that Jews under OC saved by law, and us now by grace!
