Subject: Harmonizing the Word Hermeneutically |
Bible Note: Dispensationalism is an understanding of the differences of God's interaction with mankind. These are easily seen within scripture, what is not always so obvious is the minute differences that occurs between them. Some will see more and some will see less. As the Reformers insisted each man was able to interrupt scripture for him self, so we can expect to see that with the elimination of an qualitative guides There would be more than one answer to the question. Before the fall God dealt with man directly, after the fall God spoke to man but appeared to him in forms of burning bushes and such, later God dealt with man through the law as levied by the Judges, then Kings with prophets, then Christ Himself and later through the Holy Spirit with scripture providing boundaries. Each of these interactions are unique and can clearly be seen. How they are interpreted or what importance is to be placed on each interaction is up to the interpretator. And to try to deny their existence is a consequence again of a man's interpretation of scripture. A can of worms brought into being by short sighed thinking that each man can throw off all normal shackles (education, resources, history, comparative study, Holy Spirit) and interpret scripture for himself. Good luck with that! As I said even Martin Luther realized later what a mistake that was, but alas the horses were already out of the barn. We now have everyone living by many different opinions of what God said instead of one. |
