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.

I can wipe it out with one verse.
