A critique of Dispensationalism directly from the Scripture (1)

This is an interesting study.
By Nathan Pitchford posted at Monergism;
Note: This list represents a wide segment of popular Dispensational teachings; however, Dispensationalism is by no means a monolithic entity, and many self-professed Dispensationalists, particularly in the Progressive school, would not adhere to many of its points.
Introduction:Dispensationalism is basically the method of interpreting the scriptures that [...]

Judeo - Christianity Does Not Include Jesus Christ Or Messianic Jews

Excellent post by Job at Primitive Christology
He makes some excellent points on the letter posted (here) yesterday.

THE ISRAEL OF GOD: a consideration of so-called “Replacement Theology”

Excellent teaching on a much misunderstood topic by Peter Cohen at Messianic Good News:
“You Cannot Have The Promised Land If You Do Not Accept The Promised Prince Of Peace” unknown
In his book “The destiny of Israel and the church” Derek Prince stated: “Essential truth is usually simple, and the truth is, Israel is Israel, [...]

National Day of Prayer, Compromise, and the Rotten Fruit of Bad Theology

The not praying in Jesus Name at the National Day of Prayer, which is causing an up-roar, shouldn’t come as any surprise to us. Many ‘Christian’ groups who fellowship (and pray) with those outside of Christianity have been doing this for years. In the case of some of these groups, like Hagee’s CUFI, its a [...]

Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth

How important is it that we rightly divide the Word of God? In todays world of multiple erroneous and/or false teachings, its imperative that we learn to do so for false teachings and beliefs have a way of multiplying and building upon each-other, until finally the ‘whole house’ of theology we have erected is [...]

Baaaaad Theology

You know, I found some of the comments made by this pastor really sad (its an old article from January 06).
The WashingtonPost: Among Evangelicals, A Kinship With Jews
I won’t post the entire article, its 3 pages long, but just a few quotes:
DANVILLE, Va. — Everyone who worships at the Tabernacle quickly learns three facts about [...]

The Fruit of ‘Bad’ Theology

Last evening when reading through and posting the article from the Christian Post: Evangelical Leaders: Jews Need Jesus Christ, brings rebuke from ADL, I was overjoyed to read that many Christian pastors/leaders etc stepped up publicly, declaring Jews need and can only receive salvation through Jesus Christ. On the other hand though, I thought [...]

What Are the Potential Results of Christian Zionism?
In light of what has previously been said, it should be apparent that Christian Zionism has the potential to shape the beliefs and practices of its adherents in a great many arenas. Some of these will now be designated more clearly:

The Threat of Christian Zionism, Politics, and John Hagee (1)

A couple weeks back I posted the link to this in “The-Ologys”, but after re-reading it tonight decided to post it in (2) parts on the front page: I believe its an important article and message.

Mis-applying Scripture

Just writing from my heart right now–so forgive me if this post appears to be somewhat scattered.
Some days my frustration level almost reaches the point in which I’d just just as soon never read another commentary, column, or private teaching on anything or by anyone ever again, and just stick to the Bible. I get [...]
