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.
