1 | dispensaionalism bad doctrine | Bible general Archive 4 | truth seeker68 | 209395 | ||
thank you for your suggestion. i looked in the suggestion box and found some good responses. i have to confess though that i have done a bit of research myself and have concluded that although the people who are really into this belief system are generally very well studied and passionate about what they believe, its a false doctrine. i have concrete scripture to back up what i'm saying but everyone of them that i have talked to are either too pridefull or decieved to believe they could be wrong and are unwilling to humble themselves and let the word of God correct them. | ||||||

truth seeker68- having already done the research (study?) and having already arrived at a conclusion.... your question (or original post) wasn't intentionally baited was it? Not accusing, it's just from time to time we have a Lone Ranger show up here with established opinions that ask seemingly, innocent questions only to bombard the responders with prepared arguments to apparently make others look stupid and themselves "smart". It's a pride thing that almost always leaves the perpetrator with little or no credibility. You have called what many well accomplished and respected scholars believe "a false doctrine". Do you see now the reason for my warning. It's controversial and not well handled in this type of forum. Jeff |

first of all i am definately not trying to make anybody look stupid. I don't claim to have all the answers or to be a bible scholar. I do have to admit though, as i had mentioned in one of my previous writings, that i have done some research on the subject. I was invited to a bible study on end times and it was a very deep and interesting study. The guy who was teaching it was very passionate about the bible and i was drawn in by his enthusiasm, but little by little he started telling me things that were not lining up with the scripture's. He wouldn't tell me everything at first, only bits and pieces but every once in a while he would let something slip out before he was supposed to. Well even though i didn't know a lot about end times i did study my bible quite a bit and new that what he was telling me was completely heretical. I stopped going to the study and decided to do a little research myself and was amazed at what i found. I told the guy that i had some major disagreements with his doctrine but wanted to build my case before i confronted him about it. When i had studied it out and went to confront him he totally blew up on me. It completely took me by suprise, i wasn't expecting that at all. Although i didn't agree with him i had a lot of respect for him for his devotion to studying, i had considered him a more mature believer than I(poor judgement of character on my part).Just like one of the other respondors i was totally oblivious to the fact that there were people who believed this way. Now i'm on a mission to bring this false doctrine to the light. If anyone is interested in knowing what all the dispensationalist believe i encourage you to do a little research yourself. you'll know your on the right track once you start coming across names like: Darby, Scofield and the Plymouth Brethren. | ||||||

Thanks for the response... sorry for the delay in responding. I'm really busy with work and family this week (like most weeks actually). Please note that in my response I did make sure to point out that I was not accusing you of anyting but wanted to "nip it in the bud" if it had been the case. I would also add that we should always be on guard against false doctrines and teachings while at the same time recognizing that we have to be careful when we call doctrines false, especially when they are held as legitimate doctrine by so many accomplished Christians and scholars. What I mean here is that you have some of it right, I have some things right, the guy down the street has some things right, but neither of us has it all right. That is why we continue in our effort to study and know God daily. When we set off on a "mission" that often means we have our minds made up and then we might become unteachable even to the point of refusing to allow God himself to redirect and correct our doctrine through His word. In other words, our campaign might be one of searching out bits and pieces of Scripture in order to make our case while we ignore things that do not support our position. We see that on this forum daily. Greater men than you and me (and by that I mean men who have commited more time and effort in searching the Scriptures) have studied long and with great sincerity in order to arrive at their dispensational position. If we, in our early, brief time in the word set out to destroy their doctrine we will, almost definately, be made the fool. The rule: Never set out to prove your doctrine by the Word of God. Start with the Word of God to establish your doctrine. Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
