JonathanHOST
I believe 100% that dispensationalism is 100% false.
JonathanHOST
But the foundational premise of their system relies on this separation and a distinction between and a line of difference between how God is dealing with Israel and how he is dealing with the church.
JonathanHOST
Dispensationalism presents these two groups as independent groups that are separate and distinct.
JonathanHOST
Israel is one group and the church is something different and Israel is not the church and the church is not Israel.
JonathanHOST
And so we have to argue along with Paul that they are wrong.
Austen LaneHOST
What?
Jason HambyPANELIST
Dispensationalism.
Jason HambyPANELIST
What
Austen LaneHOST
does that mean? Doesn't even know, though, huh? No, I know.
Austen LaneHOST
I'm always
Brent MartineauHOST
impressed with Hamby on this stuff.
Jason HambyPANELIST
Dispensationalism is the idea that Israel, everything is tied still to Israel in the Bible.
Jason HambyPANELIST
Okay.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
But it has been hugely influential.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
One historian describes Dispensationalism as perhaps the most resilient popular theological movement in American history.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Dispensationalist beliefs such as the Rapture have even influenced U.S. foreign policy, as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is a Dispensationalist evangelical and has spoken openly about his belief in the Rapture.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
So where did this idea of a pre-tribulation rapture come from? Proponents of rapture theology look especially to one particular Bible passage composed by the Apostle Paul, which they argue refers to a rapture-like event.

Andrew M. HenryHOST
Two of our three examples seem to suggest that Christians remain on Earth during the Tribulation, and the third example only describes a small group of one man's disciples.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
So how do we get to the left-behind style of the Rapture, the complete, sudden removal of Christians from Earth? For that, we need to turn to this guy.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
the Englishman John Nelson Darby, known as the Father of Dispensationalism.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Darby was an influential preacher, theologian, and Bible translator who rose to prominence in the 1830s.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
And, you know, this neo-Calvinism, R.C. Sproul, you know...
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
Dispensationalism is goofy.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
I got the video clip of that.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
It's not just that they disagree.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
And, you know, this neo-Calvinism, R.C. Sproul, you know...
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
Dispensationalism is goofy.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
I got the video clip of that.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
It's not just that they disagree.
RyanHOST
Matt has asked, should I attend a church that is good in the gospel, but is dispensationalist and pre-trib? Like the pre-trip thing, that's a secondary issue.
RyanHOST
Dispensationalists, depends what they mean by that, because that can have a lot of different meanings.
RyanHOST
So let's say their meaning by that, that people are saved in different ways during different time periods, that sometimes people are saved by their works in the past and again in the future.
RyanHOST
For me, that may be enough reason to potentially leave that church.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
I came to preach Christ and Him only crucifying.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
And, you know, this neo-Calvinism, R.C. Sproul, you know, Dispensationalism is goofy.

Rick DeYoungHOST
Encourage you guys to look for this, however you get your podcast.
Rick DeYoungHOST
But the name of the podcast is Why Albert Moeller is Wrong About Dispensationalism.
Rick DeYoungHOST
And you're talking to a group of scholars, talking about a book review that Dr. Al Moeller did with Dr. Daniel Hummel called The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism.
Rick DeYoungHOST
Can you tell us why you did this podcast?
Paul WeaverGUEST
Yeah, so this, as you probably know, Dr. Al Moeller is the president of Southern Seminary and very influential.
Paul WeaverGUEST
His Thinking in Public podcast is listened to widely.
Paul WeaverGUEST
And in that interview, he did interview the author of a recently released book entitled Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism.
Paul WeaverGUEST
And that interview included a lot of mischaracterizations, logical fallacies, straw man arguments, unfortunately very unkind and disparaging comments about dispensationalism, and quite frankly, historical inaccuracies.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
Why are you identifying yourself by Apollos, Cephas, Paul, Christ? I came to preach Christ and him only crucified.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
And, you know, this neo-Calvinism, R.C. Sproul, you know, Dispensationalism is goofy.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
It's not just that they disagree.
Paul WilkinsonGUEST
It's the way they do it.
David AndersHOST
Yes, I do.
David AndersHOST
I'm afraid your son has fallen prey to the air of dispensationalism and a radical form of dispensationalism.
David AndersHOST
Dispensationalism is a subset of Protestant fundamentalism that seeks to interpret the Bible and sacred history according to the theory that sacred history is divided into historical periods, i.e. dispensations, where God interacts with humanity in fundamentally different ways and that the terms of his covenants sort of shift radically from one dispensation to another.
David AndersHOST
And according to the theory of the dispensationalist, Christ had, during his earthly ministry, had made one sort of final last-ditch effort or appeal to the Jews to be reconciled to God by works, right, which is the thing that St. Paul supposedly repudiates.
David AndersHOST
And, of course, they didn't rise to that standard of righteousness.
