Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
The
Bible avoids all of the extreme and lopsided views of life and the world. Idealistic
philosophy denies the existence of matter, holding that only mind is a reality.
Materialism holds just the opposite extreme view. The Bible teaches the objective
reality of both mind and matter, but points out the ephemeral character of the
physical and the abiding character of the spiritual (2Corinthians 4:18). The pantheist denies the
transcendence of God and the deist denies His immanence. The Bible teaches
both: God is all in all and God over all (1Corinthians 15:28; Romans 9:5). Secularism places all of the
emphasis upon the present life; fanaticism ignores the present and concerns
itself only with the life to come. Buddhism would suppress all human desire;
Hedonism would do nothing but fulfill human desire. Manicheanism held that the
human body is evil; Hinduism teaches caste; Confucianism ignores God and the
future. The Bible, on the other hand, brings all of these extremes into sharp
focus and presents a well-rounded, common-sense world view.
