Subject: Harmonizing the Word Hermeneutically |
Bible Note: "Instead of being engaged in the unholy work of pitting one part of the Scriptures against another, these men would be far better employed in showing the perfect unity of the Bible and the blessed harmony which there is between all of its teachings. But instead of demonstrating the concord of the two Testaments, they are more concerned in their efforts to show the discord which they say there is between that which pertained unto 'the Dispensation of Law' and that which obtains under 'the Dispensation of Grace,' and in order to accomplish their evil design all sound principles of exegesis are cast to the wind. As a sample of what we have reference to, they cite 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot' (Exodus 21:24) and then quote against it, 'But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also' (Matthew 5:39), and then it is exultantly asserted that those two passages can only be 'reconciled' by allocating them to different peoples in different ages; and with such superficial handling of Holy Writ thousands of gullible souls are deceived, and thousands more allow themselves to be bewildered." --A. W. Pink, from his "A Study of Dispensationalism" chapter 3 paragraph 2 |
