The Problem With Dispensationalism ( Part 2 )
Further Eradicating The False Jew/Church Separation.
The word dispensation appears only four times in the bible, all of them in the New Testament.
1 Corinthians 9:17 KJV
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
Ephesians 1:10 KJV
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians 3:2 KJV
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Colossians 1:25 KJV
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
The definition of the word dispense is to deal out, distribute, or give. As we can clearly see every time this word is used in the bible it is used in this context. So what scripture supports a dispensation being a measurement of time? Simply put, NONE! There is absolutely no way to prove that a dispensation is an amount of time; whether it be of grace ,or innocence is irrelevant. A dispensation of the grace of God means the GIVING OUT of the grace of God(Ephesians 3:2), and as far as I can tell there is no time limit on that. In order for anyone to explain the so called dispensations in Scofield's Study Bible one has to superimpose false teachings on scripture, and twist the Word of God to fit these doctrines. In doing so, the common teachings of dispensationalism become very hard to follow, and confusing.
When we use the KJV as our sole authority it becomes very clear that these doctrines are not sound. However, even a saved person with the Holy Spirit dwelling inside them seems to have a hard time rightly dividing the word of truth after being taught this false doctrine for so long.
Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth:
First of all we should understand how to properly read, and divide the word of truth. I pray before opening the Word of God to understand. Often I hear dispensationalist quote 2 Timothy 2:15 while explaining why, or how they believe whatever doctrine of dispensationalism they are preaching about. I attribute this action to the fact that Scofield wrote a booklet published in 1896 called Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth. If we are told to rightly divide the Word, obviously there is a wrong way to divide the Word. So we should understand the right, and wrong ways to divide the word.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
So what is the wrong way to divide the Word of Truth?
1. Using a version of the bible other than the King James Version.
2. Adding uninspired text to the inspired Word of God.(Commentaries, References, or Notes)
3. Claiming some scriptures do not apply.
2 Timothy 3:16 KJV
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The right way to divide the Word:
1. Divide what God says from what men say.
Example:
In the book of Job there is a conversation that takes place in heaven between God and Satan.
God says Job is the most perfect and upright human on earth.
Job 1:8 KJV
And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Now this is a clear statement from God. If God says Job is a perfect, upright man, then we better believe it.
In Chapter 32 of the book of Job, Job's friends cease to answer Job because they consider him to be self righteous. Then Elihu chimes in to claim Job is not righteous, and is in sin.
Job 32:1-2 KJV
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Here you see what these four men think about Job, which is in clear opposition to what God said about Job. So what does God think about this?
Job 38:1-4 KJV
1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Here we see God asking Job "who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?", meaning who is saying these wrong, and foolish things to you. These men are Elihu, Eliphaz , and Job's other two friends Bildad, and Zophar. So right here we hear God saying what his friends say is foolish, then God proceeds to ask a series of hypothetical questions to Job, proving that these four men have NO idea what they are talking about. Then God says...
Job 42:7-8 KJV
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
So here we see what God really thinks about Job, and what his friends say about him. So it is easy to see after rightly dividing the word, or separating mens words from God's words that Job was a perfect and upright man, and his friends are the ones who committed folly. The wrong way to divide would be to say that Job was unrighteous just because it is in the bible. Not everything in the bible is right; a good deal of the stories are there to be used for correction. Not just doctrine. Satan talks in the bible too, but that doesnt mean that what he says is right.
2. Separating stories from statements.
Example:
In 2 Samuel 1 the Amalekite comes to David to tell him about Saul's death.
2 Samuel 1:2-16 KJV
2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the Lord's anointed.
Here the Amalekite tells the story of how he killed Saul with a spear, But in 1 Samuel 31 the Holy Ghost tells the same story.
1 Samuel 31:2-6 KJV
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Now in this version of the story we see how Saul really died. That he killed himself with a Sword because he was afraid that the Philistines would kill him. So who lied? Well the Amalekite lied, but if a person was not rightly dividing the word they might believe the wrong story. Now do you see why a person needs to study the Word to show themselves approved to God, in order to be blessed with the Holy Spirit to see and understand the Word as it is written; not how men say it is?
Now to eradicate the Jew/Church separation once and for all.
Ephesians 2:11-13 KJV
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
This is stating that in times past we were gentiles in the flesh, then we were without Christ, and aliens to the commonwealth of Israel; strangers to the promise, and without God, but made nigh by the blood of Christ. So what this is saying is at one time we were far off, but now we are nigh(Ephesians 2:17). So at one time there WAS a difference. Now, there is non....
Remember!
Galatians 3:16 KJV
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
This is saying seed which is singular not plural, which it is referring to Christ not all the blood kindred of Abraham. (Matthew 24:35)
Galatians 3:26 KJV
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
This means anyone who puts on Christ becomes heirs according to the promise as Galatians 3:29 clearly states.
Jeremiah 31:37 KJV
Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
Notice here the word ALL. Claiming he will cast off ALL here he is stating he will cast off some at least, or most, not that he will not cast off any at all. You also can see here that none of these things can be done, so this is a rhetorical statement, because the SEED is Christ and will never be cast off. However some of Israel has been cast off.
Romans 11:1-2 KJV
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
Romans 11:5 KJV
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
See Paul is an Israelite therefore he writes of the remnant who DO believe on Christ. The rest of Israel are just that, The rest.....who were blinded.
Romans 11:7 KJV
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
See here we see what Paul was referring to, also that Israel HATH NOT obtained, but the election HATH obtained, election meaning ones who believe on Christ.
Matthew 25:30 KJV
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Unprofitable servant is the physical Jew, Jesus will cast them into outer darkness. No saved person will be cast into outer darkness. I know many men will tell us "God is not done with Israel", but notice Jesus said this himself...
Important to understanding all of this is the book of Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 31:31-36 KJV
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
This is clear scripture about how God will make a new covenant(New Testament{John 1:17}) with Israel, not like the one he made with their fathers(That they Broke). A new covenant where the law will be in their inward parts, and in their heart.
(Romans 2:28-29/ 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:29 But he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.)
Notice the same wording, this is because the exact same thing is being discussed. Therefore an outward Jew is not a Jew to God, but one who is saved are the true Jews, no matter what the world says remember...... James 4:4( Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.)
I'm no friend of the world, and the world is scared to read the bible for what it is; the world says the outward Jews are God's Chosen people, God says those who believe on Christ are the Jews. The world says different.
In verse 36 he makes a reference to the ordinances, how IF they depart from me then the SEED(singular) also shall cease from being a nation. Now the SEED is Christ and will never cease, so that makes perfect sense.
In Hebrews 8,9,10 we gain more insight to this distinction, and why there are 2 covenants.
Hebrews 8:7-13 KJV
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
OK here in Hebrews we see a quote from Jeremiah 31, and an explanation on why there is a new covenant.
The first was not faultless. This new one is not as the old was. God said "they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not". So after the old covenant he will make a new one in their MIND and in their HEARTS(Romans 2:28-29), and he will be to us a God, and we will be his people. So clearly he says we are his people(those who believe on Christ), and clearly he states they that broke the covenant are NOT his people(he regarded them NOT).
Then he says in verse 13 that he made the first "OLD", that which decays and grows old is ready to "VANISH AWAY". So this is also clear scripture from the bible that the old covenant is scrapped for the new. The new covenant, or testament being the seed which is Christ; meaning those who believe on Christ. Not the Outward Jew, they decayed, grew old, and vanished away. Now this is not to say that all outward Jews are damned to hell, because anyone who puts on the new man will be saved, and anyone who is saved will be of the new covenant; they will be one in Christ Jesus. However, No one will just go to heaven because God says so; not that he is not powerful enough to do all things, but salvation is a gift that we have to make a personal choice to accept. The Gift is up for all, including the outward Jew.
Titus 3:9 KJV
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Here we see clear instructions to avoid genealogies they are unprofitable and vain. This is because the Old Covenant had to deal with physical Jews, and if you look back the Old Testament is filled with genealogies to prove that those men were Jews. However the New Testament has one genealogy in it, the genealogy of Jesus Christ, who was born under the Old Covenant as it was necessary to prove he was the descendant of David. After Christ died there is no genealogy because they are now foolish, unprofitable, and vain due to the fact that we are all one being inward Jews in Jesus Christ, which means we are no longer Gentiles(Ephesians 2:11-22),as the world would have us believe.
John the Baptist teaches in Matthew 3 that God can make any person to be a child of Abraham. John was preaching in the wilderness of Judea.
Matthew 3:9 KJV
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Basically stating that being an outward Jew is irrelevant to being a child of God.
So what did Jesus say to the outward Jews?
Matthew 21:43 KJV
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
This Jesus says to the Jews after the parable of the wicked vinegrower. Explaining to the outward Jew that they will have their kingdom taken from them. That is out of Christs' own mouth.
So when the world tells us that this is not the case I would reject it, and if anyone teaches us that the bible is wrong, or contradictory then we should disregard their teachings all together. If the outward Jew takes on Christ they will not lose the Kingdom of God. At this time the outward Jews have broken the covenant, and are not part of the new covenant. It is just that simple. Thank the Lord I have been blessed with the uncanny ability to see the truth, and to also admit when I am wrong; so I would not hang on to all these false doctrines we have been taught.
Now the promise of the Old Covenant is clearly made in Singular. As in to Abraham, and his SEED, not his seeds.
Genesis 12:2-3 KJV
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Notice that this whole promise is singular, as in the word THEE, THY, and THOU. So all the way back in Genesis this promise is made to Christ, and those that believe on him, and not to all of the outward Jews of the genealogy of Abraham. Remember Christ is constantly referred to in the Singular(seed not seeds).
1 John 2:22-23 KJV
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
John 3:36 KJV
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
These scriptures are very clear. Those who deny Jesus is the Christ are going to suffer wrath, and are an antichrist.
(1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,)
This would be the outward Jew who resides in the Nation State Of Israel started by war in 1948. I believe the bible not men. You have to understand that dispensationalism depends on keeping the Jews separate from the church, but the New Testament is in direct opposition to this doctrine. The separation is either you believe on Christ, or you do not.
So how can we as men refute the Word of God?
How can we claim anything other than what the bible clearly states?
As long as we read the bible, and only the bible; not commentaries, nor reference bibles it should be easy to understand. Even if we do not read reference bibles we have to be double careful not to listen to false prophets who do use these bibles, they may seem genuine but they are steering good people away from the LORD by preaching false doctrine that they could have never got out of reading the bible alone.
Clearly the outward Jews broke the covenant:
1 Kings 9:4-9 KJV
4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house?
9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
Notice verse 6 and 7 clearly stating that God will cut off the outward Jews should they do any of those things, which they do all three of these things currently. SO.......
Do we believe that God will not do as he says?
Also look at verse 6 closely and see that the term YE and YOU. Ye is the plural form of thou, and you is used for both, but if it was meant as singular I am sure the word would have been thou..
But in verses 4 and 5 all use the singular words, thee thou and thy. See God's word is perfect! The promise was never to any group of people it was always to Christ(which is the seed of David).
When the promise is talked about in the context of being kept it is in the singular, meaning Christ. When the promise it talked about in the context of being taken away it is in the plural form, God knows the beginning from the end(Isaiah 46:10), and he knew that evil men(outward Jews) would break his covenant. And remember Jesus is the Lamb slain form the foundation of the world(Revelation 13:8) so it makes perfect sense that he would declare this promise only to Christ, but not to all of the outward Jews. This is why Darby and all the dispensationalist are 100% wrong on their doctrine.
Matthew 23 is a chapter preaching as hard as possible in condeming the scribes and Pharisees, which are the Outward Jews.
Matthew 23:13-16 KJV
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Matthew 23:22-28 KJV
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:31-33 KJV
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 23:38-39 KJV
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
None of this is good, and I do not see Jesus saying anywhere here that he will give the Outward Jews a carte blanche for what they have done, he says "how can ye escape the damnation of hell?","ye shall recieve the Greater Damnation", says when they make proselytes that "ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves" I mean Jesus once again calls the outward Jews children of HELL. This is serious preaching against the Jews. I wonder how so many "Christians" actually got duped into thinking that the Murderous Scum in the Nation State of Israel are actually God's chosen people. Jesus was their biggest opponent while he was alive. Then they killed him!
Look closely all these references are in the plural form. Also he curses them at the end of the chapter saying "Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.". Jesus's disdain for the Outward Jew can be further seen in John 8. It does not get much worse than that.
John 8:31-47 KJV
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
The God of the Old Testament is the very same God of the new. There is no contradiction, just a new covenant which is with the spiritual offspring of Christ. Here the outward Jews are called the children of Satan. It is a wicked doctrine to claim that the current outward Jews were anything but the children of Satan, I mean Jesus claims they were of Satan more than once (Revelation 2:9, 3:9)
So if God said it then I believe it, when the world says differently then we should turn away from what the world says.
Now the New Testament explains the Old Testament; at the time of Christ many outward Jews could not look forward and understand. You and I can look back, and understand a lot of things by rightly dividing the word.
Romans 9:22-33 KJV
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Here we see where the Gentiles were told they were not God's people is the same place they will be become God's people.
See in verse 29 quoting Isaiah how God left us a SEED(singular), and If he had not they would have been like Sodoma(Sodom) and Gomorrha. And in verse 27 he quotes Isaiah saying "Though the number of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a REMNANT shall be saved:", saved as in saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. See this is a clear statement that the many outward Jews of Israel will not be saved, but a remnant will. That remnant is the same remnant that Paul calls himself a part of in Romans 11, an Israelite by blood who believes on Christ.
These are quotes from Hosea. Hosea is O'-see.
Hosea 1:10-11 KJV
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
The ONE HEAD is Jesus, he is the Head of the Church. So here we see that the Children of Israel are the Church, not the outward Jews.
Hosea 2:22
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Once again this is referring to the Inward Jew that today, many mistakenly call a Gentile. They were the ones who once were not God's people(Gentile) now are God's People(Inward Jew).
Romans 9:3-7 KJV
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Paul states that he "could wish that myself were accursed from Christ" accursed meaning damned or condemned from Christ. If we read this chapter in context we see that he is claiming he is a Physical Israelite, but not all of those who are physical Israelites are of Israel, neither because they are the bloodline of Abraham are they all children. So this chapter once again proves that under the New Covenant the physical Jew, or outward Jew is not a modern Israelite, or Inward Jew.
Now in Romans 11 when it starts out by asking the question "Hath God cast away his people?" its imperative to understand what happened in chapter 9, and that chapter 10 was about how the Outward Jews rejected God, so it makes sense for Chapter 11 to start out with this question.
The fact Paul says "God forbid" is because he has not cast away his people, because his people are those who Do believe on Christ, which is why Paul explains he is and Israelite, and from the Tribe of Benjamin, But Paul also was Saved and these are the People he is referring to, these are the Remnant, not all of the physical Jews, or the Outward Jews.
Romans 11:5-8 KJV
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Here we see the distinction between the Church and Israel(outward Jew), One is Israel, and the other is the election. Also a very important part of this is the fact God gave them "the spirit of slumber", basically he has made them to not see the truth on purpose.
Romans 11:16-27 KJV
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
The olive tree represents the Kingdom of God, the natural Branches represent the Outward Jew, the physical Jew; The wild branches represent the Inward Jew, once a Gentile, while the wild tree is the Gentiles. If the outward Jews turn away from their sins, and follow Christ they can be Grafted back in. So God is not done with them completely, he wishes all would come to repentance(2 Timothy 2:9), but he did turn them over to a spirit of slumber.
Galatians 4:30 KJV
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Here we see another scripture continuing to push the point that the Outward Jew will not inherit the Kingdom of God. God gave the Outward Jews up, because they did not follow his rules, and did exactly as he had commnaded them not to do. God warned them over and over to listen, and they never did.
Why wouldn't he give them up? He said he would...
Now the only way to have salvation is through Christ.
Here is another example of God giving out the promise in the Old Testament in singular, this time to David.
1 Chronicles 17:11-13
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
See! The promise is made in singular, so it appears the promise was never to the Outward Jews. It was always to Christ. Also God says he will raise up thy SEED after thee, which shall be of thy sons. Here God is making a clear distinction between David's sons, and the SEED. If he was talking about all of the seeds of David why would he even do that?
Then saying he will establish HIS Kingdom. This is undoubtedly a prophecy of Jesus Christ. God clearly states he will not take his mercy from Jesus as he did the Outward Jews.
To drive this home:
Genesis 13:14-17 KJV
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Genesis 15:5-7 KJV
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Genesis 17:7-8 KJV
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Every promise is made in the singular form. Notice in Genesis 17 the word everlasting, this could only be talking about Jesus Christ, because the Jews were removed out of the promise land after the first book of the bible. So if this promise is to the Jews then God lied. And that just did not happen.
Ultimately there is absolutely no way to refute this doctrine with clear scripture. If dispensationalism depends on creating a separation between the outward Jews, and the Church then we just destroyed dispensationalism. Obviously it is a completely false doctrine. If there were any clear scripture stating any part of dispensationalism then I would believe it; there is not.
Dispensationalism is a wicked false doctrine started by men who are in hell for what they did to the word of God. I will not follow any doctrines associated with dispensationalism. In part 3 of this series I will expose the most common false teachings of dispenasationalism.
Stay Tuned!
God Bless.
Matthew 10:22 KJV
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
