Download or read book Ancient Dispensational Truth Refuting the Myth that Dispensationalism is New written by James C. Morris and published by Dispensational Publishing House. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threadbare argument that dispensational teaching is "new" has been the propaganda of anti-dispensationalists for decades, and many actually believe it. In this fascinating journey through the early Christian writings, James C. Morris demonstrates that dispensational teaching is as old as the church itself. Many attempt to discredit dispensationalism by claiming that the church never taught it before around 1830. Such a claim is ridiculous, for proof that any particular idea was never taught in any particular time period would require an exhaustive examination of every teaching that took place during that period. Even for a relatively short period of time, such an exhaustive search is manifestly impossible, much less for nearly eighteen centuries. But this claim involves a serious falsehood. This is that the accuracy or error of a doctrine can be determined on the basis of how long men have taught it. We have no right to base our ideas on anything other than the word of God itself. Anything less that this is a false foundation. The purpose of the present study is to examine numerous instances of dispensational doctrine that were clearly taught in some of the very oldest Christian writings on Bible prophecy that have survived to the present day, as well as in numerous other truly ancient Christian writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most believers raised in churches that contend for the King James Bible as the infallible word of God are familiar with 2 Timothy 2:15 and the idea of dispensationalism. In fact, most Bible believers are so familiar with their Scofield Reference Bibles they can tell you which side of the page a certain passage is on from memory. For many Bible believers, dispensationalism, as a theological system, answers so called “problem passages” that clearly teach salvation by means other than “by grace...through faith” in the finished work of Jesus Christ. At the same time, many King James Only believers remain unsettled or unsure about the differences in salvation under the various dispensations. Their pastors may not emphasize or teach these distinctions, or they may have fallen prey to King James Only preachers and authors who teach just the opposite. Some of these authors have been teaching this faulty dispensational position for years while others have more recently modified this as their position. In this booklet we will briefly trace the development of dispensationalism as it relates to salvation under the various dispensations. We will show that the dispensationalism being taught by many King James Only preachers and authors is nothing more than a revised dispensational position rooted in Calvinism. We will also dismantle the faulty premises of this revised position by addressing the major points and examining their books in light of the Book.
Download or read book Foundations of Dispensational Truth written by E. W. Bullinger and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often identified as a proponent of Hyper-dispensationalism - which recognizes a clear distinction between the Church and Israel and believes that the Christian Church began with the ministry of the Apostle Paul - E.W. Bullinger here attempts to examine the basis of dispensational truth as found in Paul's Epistles. In doing so, he hopes to clarify "the dividing of the Word of Truth at Acts 28" for those searching for a greater understanding of their beliefs. Controversial in the eyes of traditional Christianity, this defining work is of value to Christian and Jewish scholars alike. British clergyman ETHELBERT WILLIAM BULLINGER (1837-1913) was one of the most respected Bible scholars of the 19th century. He is author of numerous works including Commentary on Revelation, Great Cloud of Witnesses, and How to Enjoy the Bible.

Book excerpt: For years, critics of premillennialism have argued that John Nelson Darby was the source for the doctrine of the rapture and dispensationalism. Building upon years of research in seventeenthcentury and eighteenth-century English theological writings, William Watson argues that dispensationalism and the ideas associated with it were long part of British theological discourse. Drawing upon hundreds of early printed English books and years of archival study in primary sources and British libraries, Watson demonstrates that Darby's thought was neither aberrant nor original. To the contrary, he was following a long line of British clergy who anticipated the restoration of Jews to a national homeland and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Understanding Dispensational Theology written by James D Quiggle and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispensational theology has been defined and caricatured in popular opinion by its opposition, the Reformed (Covenant) theologian. The purpose of this book is to define Dispensationalism and biblically describe the four doctrines that make Dispensationalism a valid theology distinct from Reformed theology. Those doctrines are hermeneutics, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. In chapters devoted to each, I discuss the doctrines and answer questions and objections, in order to give the reader an understanding of Dispensational doctrine from the perspective of a Dispensational theologian.Dispensationalism is also falsely accused of being a new doctrine originating with John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), despite many publications, past and present, revealing its ancient origins. In the chapter on the history of Dispensationalism, I will quote the church fathers to show Dispensationalism was part of the early church. Then, I will quote theologians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries before Darby (19th century) that show the revival of Dispensational thought after a millennia of Roman Catholic dominance. Through Understanding Dispensational Theology, the reader will have the opportunity to gain an accurate knowledge of Dispensationalism, and be able to fairly assess Dispensationalism as a biblically-based theology. The fellowship of all believers is strengthened when we have the full truth of those doctrines in which we disagree.

Download or read book The Case for Progressive Dispensationalism written by Robert Saucy and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-12-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debate abounds on the future of Israel and Israel's relation to the church, not only between dispensationalists and non-dispensationalists, but among dispensationalists themselves. In the past that debate has sometimes been acrimonious, and proponents of the differing viewpoints have found little common ground. In recent years, however, views have been modified and developed so that the dialogue is increasingly by cooperation and a mutual exploration of diverse ideas. The Case for Progressive Dispensationalism is intended to enlighten the debate in that same irenic spirit. The book is solidly dispensational in perspective in affirming that the Old Testament prophecies are completely fulfilled in the future, that the nation of Israel has a prophetic future, and that Israel is not the church. Dr. Saucy departs from classic dispensationalism, however, in showing that (1) the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy begins in the present church age, and (2) the church is not a parenthesis in God's program but represents a continuity with the Old Testament messianic program. This modified dispensationalism seeks to satisfy many of the objections of non-dispensational approaches to eschatology while retaining the crucial elements of biblical interpretation that characterize dispensational thought.

Download or read book The Necessity of God written by R. T. Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every person acquires a worldview, a picture of reality. Within that picture, the existence of some things will be taken wholly for granted as the background to, and support of, everything else. Their existence will rarely be questioned. The cosmos or universe, the gods, God, Brahman, Heaven, the Absolute--R. T. Allen claims that all these and other world- views have been held to be that which necessarily exists and upon which all other beings depend in one way or another.European philosophers, since antiquity, have offered arguments to show that their chosen candidates for the role of the necessary being or beings that support the rest of reality do actually exist. The Necessity of God sets the valid core of previous ontological arguments. It does not and cannot prove that God exists, but only that something necessarily exists. In an a priori manner and without inferring anything from what in fact exists, Allen proceeds to show that which necessarily exists is one, transfinite, eternal, and the archetype of personal existence: in short, that it is God as classically conceived. As for everything else that may exist, it must be finite and dependent for its existence upon God as its creator and sustainer.Few things are more erroneous in philosophy and disastrous in practice than artificial constructions produced without constant reference to concrete reality. That which necessarily exists may be the one exception. Before this constructive argument, Allen examines previous examples of ontological arguments in order to show exactly where they go wrong and to extract the valid core obscured within them. This will make clear the difference between them and his new version. The reader who is eager to engage the philosophical sources of belief will find a distinct treasure in The Necessity of God.
