Sabbath Study: Examination of 3 Mainstream Doctrines
Introduction:
Much, not all, but about 3/4ths of this study was originally posted on “THE Mt. Carmel Discussion Board on February 21st 2009.
This study was revised today for Posting this Sabbath.
It addresses 3 mainstream Doctrines to address the flaws in the logic of each, and just what Scripture REALLY HAS TO SAY of these Doctrines of:
”THE DAY OF THE LORD”
“THE PLAN OF SALVATION OFFERED BY CHRIST YEHESHUA”
”THE DOCTRINE OF DISPENSATIONLISM”
In such, while we have discussed “THE RAPTURE” doctrine on this board “THE MESSAGE AND VISIONS OF STEVEN BENJAMIN” before, are you in fact aware of the actual history and origin of “THE RAPTURE” doctrine? Did you know it has only been around for about 180 years?
And what about the notion that “CHRIST YEHESHUA DIED TO PAY FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD”…do you think that is the truth? If you do, Scripture teaches you would be wrong! I am full aware of the doctrines that promote such, but did you know that doctrine originated before Christ Yeheshua ever went to the Cross of Calvary and was in truth a MURDER PLOT created to have him killed?
That is the truth of the matter, and in this weeks Sabbath Study, We will show such to you from THE BIBLE ITSELF! We will also show the truth of the plan of salvation offered by Christ Yeheshua!
And what about the doctrine of “Dispensationlism?” It is based on the writings of PAUL! But the doctrine which seeks to promote there have only been two plans of salvation divided into two ages, “THE AGE OF LAW” prior to Christ Yeheshua, and “THE AGE OF GRACE” after…is in fact A LIE! Scripture does not teach this! And we will look at the verses that are so oft taken out of context to promote such doctrine to see what they really say! This notion takes GRACE out of it’s proper context and out of balance to the extreme!
But this doctrine was created by well meaning people who realized a truth, that SALVATION is in FACT THE GIFT OF GOD! That it’s method is in fact “BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH!” And these well meaning people developed this doctrine to contend with the critics of the Apostle PAUL who would argue that Salvation is a matter of WORKS! And these people too, take Grace out of PROPER BALANCE, but likewise “THE LAW”…and greatly misunderstand the writings and ministry of the APOSTLE PAUL! In such, two books are used greatly in this argument of “DISPENSATIONALISM” by the one side promoting erroneously that THE LAW no longer applies and only GRACE Matter, and the other side that the doctrine of Salvation by GRACE is a lie and ONLY OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW can offer Salvation!
We will see that BOTH SIDES of that argument of Dispensationlism are WRONG! That in fact LAW AND GRACE have co-existed since before THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD! And we will look at passages from the two books written by Paul, by command of THE HOLY SPIRIT, of which this doctrine draws heavily from, The book of Romans, and The Book of Hebrews. And we will take a particular look verse by verse at Hebrews Chapter 10, to illustrate the truth of what Scripture is saying, and note just how misunderstood the writings of Paul are with Mainstream groups on BOTH SIDES of the arugment of Dispensationalism!
For all coming here seeking the TRUTH OF JAH’ This Sabbath, I pray you find it,
SHALOM!
