Why Dispensationalism should be preached in the church?
Chapters 11 through 15 of Leviticus discuss about which things are unclean and which are abominable.
This scripture passages cover a lot of things about what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
There are three basic things we need to understand in these scripture passages:
1. The Lord's commandments mentioned in this place apply only to the Jews.
2. It does not mean that we can progress in our holy life by keeping them.
We cannot be found holy before our God, by observing these commandments.
3. These restrictions expired after the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
These are in no way appropriate to the dispensation of grace.
According to 1 Corinthians 8:8, food can never make us right before God.
Old Testament truths about uncleanness never fit into the New Testament. Mark 7:15
Here are the things we can learn from it.
It is absurd to say that all the things that were said to the Jews apply to the New Testament church.
Not only these, but doctrines on tithes and priesthood
are outdated doctrines. The priesthood has been changed.
A new priesthood has been created.
If we correctly understand God's administration and the way He treated the people in each period, we will get clarity on what to take and what not to take.
The Lord who said, "Replenish the world," also permitted marriage within the family at the same time.
The Lord who said, "Replenish the world," also permitted marriage within the family at the same time.
Accordingly anyone can marry anyone. God gave this permission only for a certain period of time. But after Noah's flood this was not permitted. Similarly, if we analyze the scriptures and realize which blessings apply to us and which do not, we will never have spiritual problems in our lives.
We need a basic knowledge of Dispensational theology to understand these things.
Only if we analyze the scriptures in terms of ages can we be a preacher, a shepherd or even a believer who teaches the scriptures.
We don't have to accept everything the so called Dispensationalists say. But we need to understand their basics.
Dispensational theology is not taught much in the congregations nowadays. We cannot forget or deny that this is one of the reasons why the church went into the doctrine of prosperity.
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth"
2 Timothy 2:15
According to the above verse, the preachers of the holy bible should never forget that we are called to be careful to present ourselves rightly before God as unashamed workmen and sober preachers of the word of truth.
