Dispensational theology is from Clarence Larkin and C. I. Scofield who claim the King James Bible is in error. You trust people who correct your Bible to explain it to you? Dispensation is from the root word meaning to dispense or hand out and give something. Moses was given the law and Paul was given the gospel of grace. The word dispensation occurs only four (4) times in the Bible and yet these Bible teachers make it out to be seven (7) periods of time. It has nothing to do with periods of time and ages. There are two (2) dispensations in the Bible of LAW and the GOSPEL of GRACE. It is a false teaching regardless of what your Baptist preacher says. These teachers claim that when the dispensation or age of grace closes after the pre trib rapture that to get "saved" in the tribulation as a 'saint" one must keep the law to be saved or rather salvation by law. Does Scofield line up with the modern versions of the Bible...? in a word - YES (Scofield Reference Bible, 1909 version - Introduction, Page iii) "The discovery of the Sinaitic MS. and the labours in the field of textual criticism of such scholars as Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf, Tregelles, Winer, Alford, and Wescott and Hort, have cleared the Greek textus receptus of minor inaccuracies,..." READ THAT AGAIN...SCOFIELD says they CLEARED THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS (KJV) OF MINOR INNACCURACIES... " while confirming in a remarkable degree the general accuracy of the Authorized Version of that text. the results of the study of God's Word by learned and spiritual men, in every division of the church and in every land, during the last fifty years, under the advantage of a perfected text, already form a vast literature, inaccessible to most Christian workers." SCOFIELD LIKED OCCULTISTS WESTCOTT AND HORT...? WHY...? THESE ARE SOME OF SCOFIELDS REFERENCE NOTES: Some of Scofield's Margin Notes Here are some comments from the Scofield Reference Bible (1917). Page 1271, 2 Thessalonians, Introduction The theme of Second Thessalonians is, unfortunately, obscured by a mistranslation in the A.V. (KJV) of 2:2 where "day of Christ is at hand" See [1Co 1:8] should be, "day of the Lord is now present" (See [Isa 2:12], ref). Page 1325, 1 John 5:7, margin note "o" It is generally agreed that v.7 has no real authority, and has been inserted THIS IS ONE OF THE 2 TWO STRONGEST VERSES SUPPORTING THE GODHEAD (TRINITY) AND SCOFIELD LINES UP WITH VATICAN MANUSCRIPTS AND WESTCOTT AND HORT AND SAYS THIS VERSE DOES NOT BELONG IN THE BIBLE...? WHY....? Page 1212, 1 Corinthians 1:8, footnote "2" A.V. has "day of Christ," 2Th 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of the Lord" Recognizes that 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 in the KJV actually refutes the pretribulation rapture doctrine, and thus explains that there is therefore is a mistranslation in the KJV that obscures the real meaning.
