Dispensationalism Disagrees With Several New Testament Scriptures
The founders of dispenationalism start from the postulate that God has two elect peoples with two different programs.
"Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne so that in eternity, '...never the twain, Israel and church, shall meet." Lewis S. Chafer, Systematic Theology (Dallas, Dallas Seminary Press, 1975), Vol. 4. pp. 315-323..
Lewis S. Chafer said that dispensationalism has "...changed the Bible from being a mass of more or less conflicting writings into a classified and easily assimilated revelation of both the earthly and heavenly purposes of God, which reach on into eternity to come.." Lewis. S. Chafer, ‘Dispensationalism,’ Bibliotheca Sacra, 93 (October 1936), 410, 416, 446-447
Chafer, a founder of Christian Zionism, or dispensationalism ,following John Darby and C.I. Scofield, claimed the Bible is a mass or more or less conflicting writings and that dispensationalism makes the Bible more easily classified and assimilated, or more easily understood.
In his book, Dispensationalism (1966), Charles Ryrie says "The
essence of Dispensationalism, then, is the distinction between Israel
and the church." (page 3, "Dispensationalism")
J. Dwight Pentecost is another dispensationalist theologian who in his
book Things To Come ( 1965) says "The church
and Israel are two distinct groups with whom God has a divine plan.
The church is a mystery, unrevealed in the Old Testament. (page 193,
J. Dwight Pentecost, Things To Come, Zondervan, 1965)
Quoting many New Testament scriptures which disagree with the doctrines of dispensationalism tends to show show that dispensationalism is another Gospel (II Corinthians 11: 4, Galatians 1: 6).
"For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." I Corinthians 11: 19
A heresiarchical doctrine or series of doctrines would be seen as the anti-thesis in the Hegelian dialectic which opposes the thesis of New Testament teaching.
Timothy 6: 20-21 says in the Tyndale New Testament, "O Timothy save that
which is given ye to keep and avoid ungodly vanities of voices and
oppositions of science falsely so called 21 which science while some professed they have erred as concerning the faith. Grace be with the Amen."
Tyndale translates γνωσεως, or gnosis, as science, but it should be
translated as knowledge.
The key part in Greek says "και αντιθεσεις της ψευδωνυμου γνωσεως,or "and
anti-thesis of falsely called knowledge."
αντιθεσεις, or anti-thesis, is a technical term in the early Greek
philosophy of the διαλεκτική, or dialectic, before the time of Christ.
In the dialectic, there is a direct opposition between the thesis and the
anti-thesis.
Here are a number of New Testament scriptures that can be looked at to see to what extent they disagree with the doctrines of dispensationalism: : John 10: 16, Romans 12: 4-5, Ephesians 4: 4, Romans 10: 12, Galatians 3: 28, Romans 2: 28-29, Romans 9: 6-8, I Corinthians 10: 18, Romans 11: 17-20, II Corinthians 3: 6-11, Hebrews 10: 9, and Hebrews 8: 13, and Galatians 3: 3, 14-17, 27-29,,
