Is Christ’s a Carnal and Political Kingdom?
Posted on November 8, 2010 | No CommentsTraditional dispensationalism posits a carnal and political kingdom, rather than a spiritual and redemptive one. Dispensationalism has Christ on a physical throne in earthly Jerusalem administering the day-to-day political and bureaucratic affairs of the world. Citing House and Ice, we learn: “Then God’s will in... -
Nailing Jello to the Wall
Posted on November 4, 2010 | 1 CommentFor 15 years in the ministry I was Premillennial-Sort-of-Dispensational (in the same strand as MacArthur who claims to be a Leaky-Dispensationalist). I preached that there would be a secret Rapture of the church followed by the Great Tribulation followed by a Millennium. I have discovered... -
All Types of Dispensationalism Are Still the Same Error
Posted on November 4, 2010 | 1 CommentI will never forget the years that I began to study Dr. MacArthur’s Dispensationalism. He seems to want to distance himself from Chafer and Scofield and others who were in the origins of Dispensationalism. But one day I was sitting with Dr. Robert Thomas (whose... -
If Only Apostles Knew as Much as Dispys
Posted on November 3, 2010 | No CommentsI took the test (seen below) that was on a Dispy blog and it posted my results here on my blog (also seen below). What amazes me is that Dispensationalists are still trying to defend a flawed hermeneutic that causes them to take the position... -

Covenant Theology flows from the Nature of God, Dispensationalism Does Not
Posted on May 15, 2009 | 11 CommentsWhy Dispensationalism is not Consistent with Calvinism: It has been rightly said that Covenant Theology flows from the trinitarian life and work of God. God’s covenant communion with us is modeled on and a reflection of the intra-trinitarian relationships. The shared life, the fellowship of... -
Dispensationalism Ends in Failure
Posted on July 7, 2008 | 12 CommentsClarence Larkin wrote “The Greatest Book on Dispensational Truth in the World” (which I think is an accurate title; more accurate than you could imagine). On page 96 of that book Larkin explains the conclusion of Dispensational Millennialism, “From this we see that the “Millennial... -
There Can Only Be One
Posted on July 5, 2008 | 17 Comments…THANK GOD! I was having a conversation with a Fide-o reader about the fact that Dispys have a warped view of Jewish world dominance. They’ve got 40′ charts mapping it all out! They believe God will get the Devil out of their way by chaining... -
A Friendly Response to MacArthur’s Millennium Manifesto
Posted on June 28, 2008 | 40 CommentsMy Review:Dr. Sam Waldron has written a very clear response to Dr. John MacArthur’s first message of the 2007 Shepherd’s Conference. Not only does Dr. Waldron give a comprehensive case against MacArthur’s Dispensationalism but also for a biblical Amillennialism. Furthermore, Dr. Waldron outlines and corrects... -

Bewitched!
Posted on May 21, 2007 | 11 CommentsHow can I be accepted by God? I must trust in Jesus for that acceptability. I can only be saved by what Jesus did in His life and death.The guarantee that God will accept me if I trust in Jesus is found in the fact... -

Posted on April 25, 2007 | No CommentsDr. Sam Waldron is known by all of you I am sure. If not, I recommend that you go to amazon.com and buy every book he has written. Also, his blog is one of my favorites. He and Richard Barcellos brave important subjects with the... -
Anti-Gentile Theology
Posted on March 19, 2007 | 20 CommentsThe future dispensational kingdom involves a racial prejudice favoring the Jews above even saved Gentiles during the millennium. As such it re-introduces the distinction between Jew and Gentile and replaces faith with race as a basis for divine favor. Of course, Dr. MacArthur recently informed... -
Meer Immortals
Posted on March 16, 2007 | 7 CommentsOne particularly strange aspect of the Dispensational system is that the Messianic kingdom will involve 1000 years of mingling resurrected, glorified believers and non-resurrected, mortal men. According to traditional dispensationalism the place of Christ’s throne will be in literal Jerusalem on earth for a 1000... -
Does God Live in a Building Made with Hands
Posted on March 15, 2007 | 12 CommentsAccording to dispensationalism the Temple and sacrificial system will be re-instituted in the future millennial kingdom (though they see this ministry as only memorial). Charles Ryrie writes: “The temple is yet to be built and the sacrificial system reestablished during the millennium.” This is based... -
Take Me To Your King
Posted on March 14, 2007 | 1 CommentTraditional dispensationalism denies the contemporary presence of Christ’s kingdom. Wayne House and Thomas Ice write that: “Whatever dynamic God has given believers today does not mean that the Messianic kingdom is here. We see it as totally future.” (H. Wayne House and Thomas D. Ice,... -
Does the Bible Mean What It Says
Posted on March 13, 2007 | 7 CommentsThe other day I was fellowshipping with some friends of mine near the ESV display at the Shepherd’s Conference. Scott Hill was seated next to me reading my copy of Kenneth Gentry’s third edition of “Before Jerusalem Fell.” I highly recommend this book even if... -
