The Salutary Influence of the Bible (5 of 5 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 10 BIBLE EVIDENCES- Continued
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The above claims are based upon the influence of the Bible and not that of professing Christendom. Atheists often point to the many wrongs which have been done in the name of the Christian religion or of the Church, and it must be admitted that there have been persecutions, bigotry, wars, pogroms, inquisitions, and murder in the name of religion, but it has been a misguided and unscriptural religion. The Bible cannot be held accountable for the evils of the professing Church. In those cases where the Church has appealed to the Bible for its authority to put people to death it has been completely undispensational. It has appealed to Old Testament cases where God in His dealings with national Israel commanded divine judgments to be executed upon individuals or nations, supposing that the Church is now operating under the same dispensation. In this dispensation the people of God have no political powers whatsoever, whereas Israel’s dispensation was a church-state. Failure to recognize the dispensational character of the Bible has brought great reproach upon the outward Church and has doubtless turned many people against the Bible.
