The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
We at dontperish.com really love that verse. Why?
Man and his religious ways likes to think he has new truth better then those of years past but that is a lie! Gods truth is eternal and does not change as time goes on!
For this article we will focus on another false man made way of the Dispensationalist's.
(we call them the cult of Darby-ites........ you will see why below )
They claim this way via NEW truth which has come along most recently, and thus it is just another lie like other new cults! (see 7th day adventists, Mormons and Jehovah Witness) In this article we will test and expose the false teaching of man, called dispensationalism. Many today, through their denominational brand, are being taught this or they believe it and they do not even realize it. It has slipped into the ritual Sunday religion and the ways of the evangelical world like a cancer.
*What is dispensationalism?
To state it simply; it is a system of theology developed by a MAN that breaks God's Word into sections of time or dispensations. (Most claim there are 7 but some say 3 and others say more, they cannot all agree?)
They also teach the following:
*Separate Israel off from Christ's NT body
*They claim there are two gospels (one of works and one of grace)
*They are calvanistic in their ways teaching a false gospel for today.
*They claim "Paul writings alone" are for today and they reject all other authors inspired by God.
In truth, if you sat down and read your bible by yourself, you would NEVER see dispensationalism at all. It must be taught to you as a man made system and that is happening all over the denominational places today in man made religion. This should alert you if you have God's spirit to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21) to help you discern truth vs error.
*Why is it critical to get it right?
Jesus said we must be in truth ( see John 4:24.) Dispensationalism lies and changes God's nature, it alters His Word and it perverts the gospel as well. Thus it is VERY important we get it right lest we be shipwrecked in our faith. ( see 1 Timothy 1:19)
*Where did dispensationalism come from?
As our verse from Ecclesiastes 1:9 says... there is no new truth regarding God's Word but that is exactly what dispenstionalists want you to believe. It is NOT from God's Word but from a man. If you read Paul or Peter or Jesus words you will NOT find a theology of 7 dispensations and several gospels. In fact, do your own research and you won't find anything like it until the 1830's and a man named John Darby. He is the father of the cult of dispensationalism which was spread from his Brethern faith into the baptist places; then all over denominational religion today. Also "the Left Behind "entertainment series of books and movies have acted to spread his false ideas even further. Darby had questionable associations and some claim he was influenced by those who dabbled in the occult. ( A young woman who had demonic activity and she saw a pre trib rapture event ??? ) Regardless, Darby invented and wrote about these dispensations of time and in doing so he ALTERED God's Word by adding and taking away from it which is sinful and heretical. ( see Duet and Rev 22 ) It is NOT new truth at all but same old lies of man made ideas/traditions vs Gods Holy Word.
(See Colossians 2:8 and Mark 7:6-9 )
Knowing the history of this false way called dispensationalism should ALONE make you want to run from it being made of man and NOT God.
While there are so many aspects and unbiblical ways regarding dispensationalism, for this article we will expose several to show you this system of man MUST be rejected if you claim the God of truth ( see John 17:17 ).
*Multiple “Gospels” per Dispensationalism
Dispensationalist's wrongly believe in 2 distinct “gospels” for two different dispensations.
They say Jesus, taught the “gospel of the kingdom” to Israel (see Mark 1:14) but Paul preached a new “gospel of grace” only to the Gentiles.
We can use God's Word to easily show..... this is a lie.
The only place we see the words "gospel of grace" found is in Acts 20: 24–25
There the Apostle Paul also equates this gospel with his preaching of “the kingdom of God proving they are..... the same gospel.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Do not be fooled folks. The two gospels are the same. Paul was never in support of the idea of several “gospel” messages and in this dispensationalist teachers are accursed.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8–9
Another place we can expose them as false is their teaching that it was works in the old testament vs faith today that saves. If we read Gal 3; we see that Apostle Paul says clearly what the gospel then was with Abraham and is now.
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
As you can read for yourself it is the same gospel then and today so dispensationalists are liars and false teachers to be exposed!
If you go to this link you will find our videos under the unbiblical teachers blog and you can see several videos we did on Grace Ambassadors who are dispensationalist false teachers.
They often say you can be the most fleshly (sinful) person in the world and still go to heaven by.... just believing. If we compare that to Apostle Paul's words below in Galatians 5; we can see that Justin is a liar indeed!
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
*Dispensationalists often teach a pre tribulation
rapture of the body of Christ
We find NO scriptures to support this claim at all?
(Many so called believers will be surprised when their false ways don't happen as they planned. God has ordained them to in the end times according to His Word. See pre trib exposed here: http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com )
*Dispensationalism teaches there is no need to repent today, you just believe.
Apostle Paul said this:
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Acts 17
Jesus said this:
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:3
More lies of dispensationalism to be rejected......
*Dispensationalism teaches no works oe endurance are needed, not even as fruit you're born of God. (you just believe and your heaven bound no matter what; even if your very sinful and disobedient)
There are so many bible verses that refute this wrong way but here are a few we would share with you.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
Jesus said this as a warning about trees who do not bear good fruit:
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7
James 2
But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b]works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
Note: God's gift of eternal life comes by faith indeed and it is a "truth faith" that goes on and produces good works ( holiness, obedience etc ) not a dead faith.
*Dispensationalism teaches a division between Israel and the body of Christ
If you read what they teach, they claim God has separated Israel and Christ's body as two different ones. Again all we need to do is read God's Word and they are shown to be in error and sin.
Galatians 3:26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Can the truth be any clearer?
More error and false ways of this man made ill theology called dispensationalism!!
They most often in cult like fashion believe God super naturally inspired the KJV bible and they lift it up as SPECIAL. This is a false idea made of man; like dispensationalism itself! ( see our teaching blog for proof about KJV only error and its cultism: http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com )
Note: the KJV is a good translation but we do not teach or believe it is God inspired as it has various errors when tested to the Greek and Hebrew.
*Dispensationalism teaches you do not need to obey to go to be of Christs kingdom/ heaven
Again we offer up only several of many verses that destroys their lies....
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 5:9
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:15
Note: obedience is fruit that God is in you. If you do not obey... you're not born of God "by faith" and thus you will not go to heaven.
This is easily refuted by Jesus own words in the following verses:* Dispensationalism teaches Jesus came to set up a earthly kingdom but failed so God had to go to a plan B???
John 6:15
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
John 18:36
There is so much more we could say to expose this cult like system of man called dispensationalism.Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
There is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.... so do not be deceived by these Darby-ites!
We hope these points we have exposed will make you either reconsider your dispensational ways or be on guard that you are not led astray by them. They are a devious bunch with teachers / men who can talk slick and woo you away with their words. Where are we warned about such men?????
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans 16:18
And in closing.... the verse right before that in Romans says this:
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight
Proverbs 12:22
