Bible Question: why do dispensationalist believe that Paul had his on gospel that was totally different than the gospel of Christ? |
Bible Answer: John Nelson Darby, by his own admission, invented systematic dispensationalism in 1833, due in part to the fact that it fit into a pattern of beliefs at the time, part of which was the newly popularized pre-tribulation rapture espoused by Margaret MacDonald who claimed she had seen visions of the second and third coming of Christ. Darby visited the assembly in Scotland that accepted Margaret MacDonald's ideas. Although he was turned off by the pentecostal gymnastics of the people, he accepted MacDonald's idea of the rapture. They and other similar groups accepted his idea of dispensationalism. |
