The closer one gets to God's word as the only authority, the deeper the disdain for that person becomes. The easier the Bible is explained, in dispensations that make God's word suddenly become alive and available to anyone to grasp and grow, the deeper the mockery becomes. To show someone how to rightly divide God's word of truth, in order to see the beauty, the grace, the power, the simplicity, and the plan God has for man, the louder the wailing and gnashing become. When I first came aboard I thought there would be a Rightly Dividing party every night, questions and questions and that moment the lightbulb would go on with someone, we would all thank God for His grace and mercy in bringing us all together.
That's not quite how it's worked out. It's more a "I'm standing here with nothing but my Bible" and in rolls the carts of doctrines and traditions, and catechisms, all ready to do battle to destroy the "doctrine from hell' as dispensationalism is called. And yet, here I stand proving point after point to anyone with any desire to understand. Just me and my KJ Bible. Don't they see something REAL that can change their life? Don't they want to be a workman for God, that needeth not to be ashamed? They see it and hear it every day. And disdain it. It cannot be right because we have 2 Billion people and you have Bible Studies in your local Denny's. or whatever. Look at our beautiful Cathedrals and what do you say you worship in? Believers houses. 'hmmmmm' We, as dispensationalists, are the lowest of the low on the religious system hiearchy.I am not complaining, just amazed at the caste system and its no need for truth yet desperation to hold on to the lies. At ALL cost.
Anyway, thank you for you wonderful posts. They open eyes who want to see.
Well, I don’t know what to say, as I am neither a dispensationalist, a Protestant (”sola scriptura”), nor a chr*stian. I simply believe that G-d doesn’t lie. Why only dispensationalist Protestants understand that these days I have no idea.
how can there be a “rightly dividing the word party every night”, when you are the only one in 2,000 years who is able to rightly understand the Scriptures, especially the Book of Acts?
what really is needed is for you to post your brilliance, and the rest of us will become enlightened. we all just need to throw off 2,000 years of Orthodox, Biblical Christianity, and accept your rightly dividing the Word. truly we all are blessed to be living at the same time as you, it’s a shame all the other Christians who lived for the last 2,000 never had the chance to rightly divide the Word.
