3. Then there are seeming
contradictions in the doctrinal teachings of the Bible. How do we explain such
things as the Bible commanding circumcision in one place (Genesis 17:10-14) and pronouncing a curse upon its
practice in another (Galatians 5:2-4)?
How could eating pork be an abomination (Isaiah66:17) if Paul was right in 1Timothy 4:4? Who is right on the way to have
eternal life, Jesus in Matthew 19:16, 17 or Paul in Ephesians 2:8, 9? Should we follow Jesus in giving no thought to food or clothing
for the morrow (Matthew 6:25-34),
or Paul in teaching that one is worse than an infidel who does not make such provision
(1 Timothy 5:8)? These and many like problems which
have been listed as objections to verbal inspiration, may all be satisfactorily
explained by the application of dispensational principles. None of these
examples are contradictions but are merely changes in God’s orders. Note what a
radical change Jesus made in His commands to His disciples in Luke 22:35-37.
