Chapter 22 of 29

We recognize that the promises of the judgment of Israel were fulfilled.

We recognize that the promises of the judgment of Israel were fulfilled.

defenders of salvation who deny lordship depend excessively on the presuppositions of a predetermined theological system; often they they support budgeted dispensational distinctions (salvation and discipleship, carnal and spiritual believers, gospel of the kingdom and gospel of grace, faith, and repentance); they get entangled by conjectures and illustrations; tend to rely on rational analysis rather than analysis biblical; when they handle the Bible, they are too willing to allow that their theological system dictates the understanding of the text. As a result, they regularly adopt new interpretations of the Scriptures to adapt them to their theology.

We must remember the following: our theology must be biblical first. to be systematic. We must begin with an adequate interpretation from the Bible and base our theology on it, instead of searching in the Word from God the foundation for our unjustified assumptions. The Bible it is the only appropriate standard by which we should ultimately measure instantiates the accuracy of our doctrine.

Dispensationalism is at a crossroads: the controversy The lordship represents the sign that marks the fork, with an arrow. pointing towards biblical orthodoxy and the other (marked 'denial of "lordship") pointing towards the path of sub-Christian antinomianism. The dispensationalists who are thinking of heading in that second direction They would do well to stop and take another look at the map.

The only reliable map is the Bible, not the dispensationalist diagrams. that someone has developed. Dispensationalism as a movement must reach a consensus based solely on the Word of God. We cannot continue preaching different gospels to a world already immersed in the confusión.

1. This is the biggest inconsistency I see in the perspective of the pact: everyone We recognize that the promises of the judgment of Israel were fulfilled. literally, but the theology of the covenant places the church as the recipient of the promised blessings that must then be spiritualized in order to apply to the church. It seems to me that consistency would require that if the the promises of the judgment were literally fulfilled, the blessings should also have a literal compliance.
