The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "A Study of Dispensationalism" - A.W. Pink

"But there is further reason, and a pressing one today, why we should write upon our present subject, and that is to expose the modern and pernicious error of Dispensationalism. This is a device of the Enemy, designed to rob the children of no small part of that bread which their heavenly Father has provided for their souls; a device wherein the wily serpent appears as an angel of light, feigning to “make the Bible a new book” by simplifying much in it which perplexes the spiritually unlearned. It is sad to see how widely successful the devil has been by means of this subtle innovation. It is likely that some of our own readers, when perusing the articles upon the interpretation of the Scriptures, felt more than once that we were taking an undue liberty with Holy Writ, that we made use of certain passages in a way altogether unjustifiable, that we appropriated to the saints of this Christian era what does not belong to them but is rather addressed unto those who lived in an entirely different dispensation of the past, or one which is yet future."

This month's Article of the Month is a refutation of "Dispensationalism", an error of doctrine that involves not only that which deals with 'last things', but even more importantly, it is a system of biblical hermeneutics (interpretation) which has a tremendous effect on myriad subjects, e.g., Israel as a nation and the Church, the law of God, church polity, and in the extreme, the relevancy of the entire Bible to present-day believers.

Interestingly, Arthur Pink once embraced this error in his younger days and eventually concluded that it was a "pernicious error" which he set out to expose as one that is contrary to sound teaching.
