Abstract: How can the Scriptures stand as the exclusive authority for arriving at a God-given hermeneutic? The Scriptures themselves possess an exclusive hermeneutic that is the only hermeneutic authorized by God for interpreting and preaching the Scriptures themselves—‘the presuppositional hermeneutic.’
My dear brother and fellow Dispensationalist Jim McClarty is being featured today in his article “Is the Church Israel.”
Jim and I connected through a Facebook group called: “Calvinist Dispensationalists, Unite.” Jim and I began crossing paths more and more as we began tackling some of the more modern criticisms of Dispensationalism coming from the likes of Apologia.
Jim is an excellent source and I pray that this article that he has shared with me for your benefit will help you understand what makes Dispensationalism stand alone from other positions. Is the Church Israel? The answer is no!
I have the opportunity to feature an article written by my brother Nehemiah Ryan called: “An Evaluation of Non-Dispensational Hermeneutical Presuppositions.”
This was a huge concern in my heart as I went through difficult times where I had to suffer a big threat over my faith in Christ, due to Doctrinal deviations that are so rapidly increasing in mainstream Churches in present day. Charismatic movement before 90’s were considered fringe of mainstream evangelicalism, which has gained considerable invasion now into mainstream pulpit. That has continued for long time without any scrutiny and Biblical voice from mainline Churches except few faithful pastors and theologians who regularly speak against these issues. Bizarre experiences, convoluted exhibit of spirit-fullness literally attracts huge people with passion without truth in it and leaves others simply to ask, ‘what is all these? Is it really Biblical? How to draw the line?’
