Re: Theology
 

Amanah, I have modified Dispensational Theology to fit the proper scriptural method of explaining time periods.....



I like to use the term "time periods" as a disp. point of view.

These time periods are legitimate eras' of time, in which God dealt with mankind with a dispensing of certain rule or rules to live by.

Each time period ends up judging man for his failure and a new time period is built upon the existing ones.(with a few exceptions).

God had dispensed His rule over mankind within these periods of time.



dis·pense
dəˈspens/
verb
1.
distribute or provide (a service or information) to a number of people.

Dispensation #1...Innocence, ends in judgement. All future mankind still in its' effect.

#2....Conscience, ends in judgement, yet God still uses the conscience to condemn man of sin.

#3....Human govt.,, ends in judgement via dispersion of languages, yet still in effect today.

#4...Promise, Israel judged by God in bondage for about 400 years, yet it is still in effect today by an ongoing promise to Abraham.

#5....Law, ends in judgement for sin at Calvary for SAINTS only, yet sinners are still under the curse of the Law(and its' condemnation)

#6.....Grace, an extension of Promise and same covenant as future Millennial reign(BOTH SAINTS AND NATIONAL ISRAEL INCLUDED), will end in judgement to those that do not accept Christ(Tribulation).

#7....1000 year Millennial reign, A time period of the reign of Jesus Christ over all mankind from Jerusalem, to end in judgement at the loosing of satan in Rev. 20.

THAT WILL WRAP UP TIME AND HISTORY.

thank you Bro Sean

Re: Theology
 

Your welcome. Today, many folks are rethinking their methods of explaining the Bible.

Re: Theology
 

Sean, you have 6 dispensations that are overlapping.

Re: Theology
 

All time periods are based on Laws of God. And these Laws are added because of transgression, never subtracted as old dispy teaching suggests.

Re: Theology
 

really? Seems to me that those teaching dispensational teaching are the ones that change their rethinking. I noticed that dispensational teaching is new doctrine as per the article. But we have been telling you this for years now.

Dispensational Theology

......Dispensational theology is probably the most popular theological understanding in America at this time, even though it has a more recent origin than Covenant theology. The development of Dispensational theology dates back to the nineteenth century in Britain. J.N. Darby (1800-1882), an Irish lawyer, sought to explain the uniqueness of the Christians' spiritual condition "in Christ." To explain the radical different in Christian "benefits" from that afforded to peoples in all prior times, Mr. Darby employed the division of time into distinct "dispensations." Harry Ironside, a later proponent of Dispensational theology, noted that "until Mr. J.N. Darby...it (the dispensational idea of a postponed kingdom) is scarcely to be found in a single book or sermon through a period of sixteen hundred years."4 Darby's novel idea of distinguishing "dispensations" of time became the basis of a new theological system known as "Dispensationalism."

Re: Theology
 

These Laws definitely never die, they more than overlap, they are set in stone to create a situation of wrath.

Re: Theology
 

Loren, Darbyism is on life support these days.

Re: Theology
 

I can wipe it out with one verse.

Re: Theology
 

You missed the point as usual. The point was that dispensationalism is a new theology. And you even have changed their teaching, and you call us redefinitionlist.

Re: Theology
 

Don't forget Jehovah Witnesses, they change as the years march on.

Same thing with Dispensationalism.

Notice the use of Sean's modified Dispensational Theology. That says it all.

Re: Theology
 

Brother Blume has continually made a valid point, where does the apostles or Jesus ever teach 7 dispensations? Or even use the word dispensation as Dispensationalists use the word?

Re: Theology
 

When Paul uses the word dispensation it means to preach the Gospel of God's grace. When never read where he preaches about Moses preaching a dispensation of law? We don't have John introducing us to him preaching that he is dispensing the Gospel of a Millennium?

Re: Theology
 

None of the above.

Sorta.

The Bible mentions dispensations. I see Law and grace.

I have not thought about covenant theology since my college days.

I have never heard of the Christocentric theology. But it is fun to spell.

Re: Theology
 

When the bible mentions dispensations it does not use it in the way that dispensationalism did.

Re: Theology
 

Someday someone will write a book about the impact the Scofield and the Thompson study Bibles have had on American Pentecostal theology.

The companion book would be the impact of Dispensational Truth (Clarence Larkin) on American Pentecostal eschatology.

But I will not write it.

Re: Theology
 

I pray it comes sooner than later.

Re: Theology
 

I fixed it.:nod

Re: Theology
 

Folks commonly bash something they found broken, to prove their broken doctrines are right.

2 wrongs never make a right.

Get your own doctrine right, instead of bashing your(false teaching) cousin's wrong doctrine.

Re: Theology
 

There you have it.

Sean fixed Dispensationalism.

Sean, could you show us what exactly you fixed?

Re: Theology
 

Bingo.

Re: Theology
 

Sean fixed dispensationalism. That takes real talent. "About time" :)

Re: Theology
 

:largehalo

Re: Theology
 

The author is trying to create a balanced alternative between reformed and dispensational theological systems. In doing so, he has simply concocted another man-made theological scheme.

All theological systems are to be judged by how accurately or inaccurately they represent the teachings of the Bible. This then proves there is a true "Biblical Theology" which serves as the standard. We would be better served attempting to find that theology rather than trying to create a brand-name system of our own.

All theological "systems" are man-made, in that the Bible does not present a "systematic presentation of doctrine" similar to a systematic theology. Hence, all systematic theologies and systems of theology are nothing more than TEACHING, a body of doctrines, a syllabus and curriculum of presenting Biblical data. Every system of theology is a particular teacher's presentation of doctrine.

Keeping that in mind keeps us from swearing allegiance to a particular, formulaic system invented by men. Unfortunately, men seem to always want to do just that. Hence, they do not study the Bible so much as they study theological systems. And so orthodoxy gets determined by how accurately a belief represents a particular theological system, rather than by how accurately a belief conforms to Scripture.

Systematic theologies can be more or less useful, but one must avoid the trap of using them as a replacement of the Bible standard.

Re: Theology
 

Sean, not do you only dodge questions, you are miserable in giving EXPLANATIONS. Sean, please SHOW how YOU fixed it. It looks like the same old same old Larkin and Darbyist theology.

Re: Theology
 

:thumbsup

Re: Theology
 

How did you not see the changes?

No dispensation ENDED, only judgement came.

More Laws of God were added because of transgression.

You can't see the modification?

How can you criticize Dipies if you dont read their ideas?

Re: Theology
 

These a re HUGE changes to dispie teaching.:nod

Re: Theology
 

:thumbsup

Spot on!

Re: Theology
 

Hello, Mr CARM Apologist of the Planet Xenos. All powerful defender of all that Apostolic. Able to leap small chairs in a single bound. Sean, did mommy give you some buttered toast with your Count Chocula cereal this morning?

Sean, please show us HOW you changed the Classical Dispensationalism to your MODIFIED dispensationalism? Please do it with scripture, book, chapter, and verse. Your posted "list" means nothing, you need to EXPLAIN your position with the Bible.

So, after you watch Sponge Bob, please come back and post this so all may learn.

Truther? LOL LOL LOL LOL :laffatu

Re: Theology
 

DB, you are so silly.

I love your posts, they are all like MAD magazine mixed with National Enquirer.

Thanks for the endless non substance but comic relief.

Re: Theology
 

He will only make things up as he goes along.

Re: Theology
 

He is drowning in a sea of madness in Seconds of Pre Embryonic Life of Jesus Christ? thread. Do you remember me saying that eschatology was the least of Sean's problems? Read over that thread, and you will see that he was snorting the rice krispie treats during lunch.
