Bible Note: Doc says: “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”. As I understand Doc. He classes Darby, Scofield and likeminded people with the likes of Ellen G. White. If the doctor cannot tell the difference between Darby and Schofield and Ellen G. White it is understandable why he asks “…about how they differ and who teaches which version.” It is common knowledge that an attempt at discrediting someone of the dispensational position usually slaps them up against Ellen G. White who was not a dispensationalist in the common understanding of who in the present day is. I hope I have misunderstood Doc, but when he uses the term “mongering” which the dictionary identifies it as “…a person who attempts to stir up or spread something that is usually petty or discreditable,” and names the following as such. The dispensationalist field includes such men as C. I. Scofield and his Reference Bible and the great works, past and present from the Dallas Theological Seminary. Moody Bible Institute’s William R. Newell and Alva J. McClain of Grace Theological Seminary and his monumental work, The Greatness of the Kingdom, one of the truly great efforts in setting forth the kingdom of God with definition and clarity. Hundreds of the worlds best bible teachers could be named who are of the dispensational persuasion put much importance to the study of prophecy. It is common knowledge that those church leaders are the ones who have carried the fight to preserve evangelical Christianity. Everyone of them were and are important leaders of Eschatological teaching and to them we owe much. It is they in particular to whom we owe thanks for the preservation of what we call fundamental Christianity. Approximately one fourth of the Scriptures are prophecy and to ignore or dismiss them as important is to do a terrible disservice to the Lord’s people. To belittle the serious study of prophecy is to agree with those of the early church who with their parabolical teaching paved the road to a thousand years of the dark ages ending with the burning of untold thousands for nothing more than trying to understand the Scriptures for themselves. |
