You said...."No, it is not a false statement." I say it is. Here's an article from Liberty University ....The Rapture In History and Prophecy by Thomas Ice you can look over.No, it is not a false statement. I can prove Dispensationalism was invented in the 19th century and you should be mindful of Proverbs 26:17. @Jarhead4Jesus can and should answer my questions asked specifically of him for himself. When I want to know your answers to my questions then I will ask you and you already have a bad record of avoiding answers when asked valid relevant questions. Jarhead is quite capable of speaking for himself and articulating his own views. He does not need your interference. If you would like to take up the history of Dispensational Premillennialism with me then start an op and PM me. I will gladly post a reply.
From Wiki:
"Dispensational premillennialism generally holds that Israel and the Church are distinct entities. It also widely holds to the pretribulational return of Christ, which believes that Jesus will return to take up Christians into heaven by means of a rapture immediately before a seven-year worldwide tribulation. This will be followed by an additional return of Christ with his saints (though there are post tribulation dispensationalists, such as Robert Gundry).Dispensationalism traces its roots to the 1830s and John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), an Anglican churchman and an early leader of the Plymouth Brethren. In the US, the dispensational form of premillennialism was propagated on the popular level largely through the Scofield Reference Bible and on the academic level with Lewis Sperry Chafer's eight-volume Systematic Theology."
The roots of DPism are traced to the 1830s and John Darby. The dispensational form of premillennialism was propagated by Scofield and Chafer (the founder of Dallas Theological Seminary). I can quote Chafer, Ryrie, Walvoord, Ice, Vlach, and many other leading Dispensational Premillennialists in their own words self-attributing the origins of Dispensational Premillennialism to the 19th century. Dispensationalists try to obfuscate the truth by arguing writing about dispensations and writings about premillennial viewpoints preceded Darby but that is not the same thing as Dispensational Premillennialism. Men bent metal into shields as early the Bronze Age and the first steam engine was made in 1698. That does not mean modern automobiles existed in the 1700s. Dispensationalists (like William Watson) who make such arguments misrepresent the facts to deceive others into believing their modern man-made doctrines. Dispensational Premillennialism teaches a completely different from of premillennialism than that which has ever been held in Christendom historically. Dispensational Premillennialism was invented in the 19th century.
Dispensational Premillennialism was invented in the 19th century, and I am simply asking @Jarhead4Jesus, not you, if he is aware of that fact, and whether he is aware it is not the prominent eschatology held in Christendom. He can answer those two questions for himself without any fact-denying help from you.
I'd cut and paste it but the site doesn't seem to let me do that.
It shows the concept was believed long before Darby. Now, perhaps the term "dispensation" is new...or perhaps Darby popularized it in recent times, but the concept isn't.
This is why I have asked you not to present your claims as "fact"....as it isn't.
