1 | Grace begins with Paul in Acts (? | Acts 9:1 | DocTrinsograce | 240935 | ||
Hi, heislord12... I do not recall using the word invent. The word I used was taught. Darby and Scofield both taught a kind of dispensationalism, although from what I can understand, there are several varieties, including that which has been popularized by prophecy mongering in the last 30 years or so. I believe that Ellen White taught a variation of dispensationalism too. I would not be able to distinguish classic dispensationalism from other varieties. Do you know where these forms are documented? I would like to learn a bit more about how they differ and who teaches which version. I know that the word oikonomia (dispensation or economy or stewardship) appears four times in Scripture (once in the first epistle to the Corinthians, once in the epistle to Colossians, and twice in Ephesians) although the context is not the same. As opposed to some 300 occurrences of the word covenant, for example, it stands to reason that as a perspective it would have received only recent attention in 2 millennia of Christian study. In Him, Doc |

Classic Dispensationalism is utterly void of "prophecy mongering" or the likes of Ellen White. The "versions" of Classic Dispensationalism are distortions. CD is not based upon the number of times it appears in the Bible; comparisons are not valid. Therefore, I would never present "differences." There is One Lord, One Faith, One Holy Spirit transformation, One God and Father of us all, identified Spiritually in the Trinity, One Spiritual interpretation and application of God's Word, none of man or denomination. The Body of Christ IS, one-by-one, those who are saved by grace through faith, the awesome gift of God for those who believe. John 14:6, John 3:16-17, John 3:3, John 5:24, Romans 10:8-13, Ephesians 2:8-9, and the familiar "Roman Road" are all informative. Classic Dispensationalism simply points out that the imperatives for the Jews, their "group" redemption, and water baptism, are not imperatives for Christians, who are born again by grace through faith, not of works, deeds, efforts, memberships, doctrine, or any declaration other than the profession of trust-faith by each individual (Romans 10:8-13). Thanks for your responses. In Him :-) |

Hi, heislord12... So the SDA, Lindsey, and LaHaye would not be deemed classic dispensationalists? A distortion implies that a standard exists from which deviations can be measured. What is the work on the subject to which adherents of CD agree is definitive? In Him, Doc |

Hi, heislord12... Ah, I see. I do not doubt that I would get the same answer from those whose dispensationalism you described as distorted. That doesn't leave much hope for someone willing to listen to a variant hermeneutic argued. Consequently, in the very same vein, a good answer to your original question (#240931) ought to be: "No (cf the Bible)." Perhaps there are others here in the forum who will want to answer "Yes" with the same citation. :-) In Him, Doc |
