I have heard of it, but disagree with it. Between 150 and 175 years ago, this idea sprang up within the church, thanks to a man by the name of John Nelson Darby and his successors. The basic idea is that there have been seven periods of "testing" for human beings, and that God has dealt with them in different ways regarding salvation and other matters. The Bible clearly communicates, however, that everyone in human history who has been saved has received this salvation through God's grace through faith in God's redemption, which was shown in the first century to be His own Son, Jesus Christ. While this theology, known as dispensationalism, is quite widespread among the evangelical churches today, it is not something that has been held by the church throughout the majority of its history (and therefore it is not "Original"), nor does it really stand up to scrutiny from the Scriptures. Now I am sure, in true Reformer Joe fashion, that this post will bring about a flurry of response, so you will get the other point of view before too long as well! In the meantime, you can read about it on this site which holds the same historic view that I do regarding these "periods": http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Dispensationalism/dispensationalism.htm --Joe! |

Hello Joe Dispensationalism would see five periods from Adam to Christ, not six, and I've never heard the term "Original Hebraic Chronology." So I'm not sure if you gave the correct answer. And dispensationalism is not opposed to your 2nd paragraph. BTW, though I'm in the Plymouth Brethren, Darby is not one of my heroes. To quote the vernacular, "He had issues." And thanks for the link to Pink. Steve |

Well, Ryrie's more contemporary version of dispensationalism differs from that, but classical dispensationalism did hold that God operated differently with regard to salvation in the different eras. I am glad yo see that you have problems with Darby, since he did indeed have issues. However, how do you embrace dispensationalism without factoring him in, however, since he is the father of it? --Joe! |

Hi Joe, I never studied the history of dispensationalism. For years all I knew about it was from a Southern Baptist preacher. I never heard any names until I started meeting with PBs. Even then, it was mostly Ryrie and Chafer. It wasn't until I studied some history of the Brethren movement that I knew about Darby. Steve |

Hi Steve, I'll enter into the discussion here as I do hold to a Dispensational view of scripture. I'm very familiar with a lot of the leading proponents, such as Chafer, Scofield and Bullinger, having studied and read some of their works.( I use Bullingers' Companion Bible frequently as a resource) Some, such as Bullinger are viewed as having a "hyper"-dispensational theology. I do know of Darby, but have not read his works( I do have his Darby Bible on my Logos software). I've found through my growing in the Lord that "labels" are sometimes hard to defend. It depends where someone is coming from, or what their preconceptions are of the term. As I view it, Dispensationalism is a framework through which to view scripture. It's a method of interpretation. It is not always agreed upon, and certainly has detractors within Evangelical Christianity regarding some of its' tenets, specifically water baptism, and the start of the Church, and the nation of Israel vs. the Body of Christ. Interestingly, the church I attend does not adhere to a strict Dispensational theology, nor do my Pastor and I agree on every issue. However, we have agreed to disagree and are good friends and enjoy each others fellowship. I believe it to provide a very sound framework through which to understand the whole of scripture and to make sense of seeming "contradictions". That is why I am a proponent of this system. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Hello BradK "I'll enter into the discussion here..." Yes! Jump in. The water's fine. I've read some of Bullinger's work. I think he went too far by over-analyzing typology. I've tried to read Darby, but he's difficult. I agree concerning the dispensational framework. It seems to fit well. Steve |
