INTRODUCTION: 5 CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
But
what has caused many theologians to turn away
from the Bible as a divinely inspired book? Basically, the cause is to be found
in the scientism of the day, working hand in hand with a fallen, depraved
nature. Science has sought to explain everything as natural phenomena. Modern
man feels that Science is a sort of savior, before whose shrine he should bow down
in humble obeisance. Whether it be the healing of the body, control of the
forces of nature, space travel, or hope for the future, mankind has turned to
science for its answers and in so doing has turned away from a personal God as
unnecessary and as a rather bothersome idea. Much that was once thought to be
only in the domain of God’s power and control is now manipulated by science.
Science hopes to create life and control genetic inheritance factors, and when
and if this occurs the average person will feel that man himself is God. Such a
situation as this in a future day is described in 2 Thessalonians 2:2, 4. Not only has mankind come to trust explicitly in Science
for what it can do, but they have come to feel that it is unscientific to
believe in a personal, extra-mundane God who has control over the forces of
nature.
