Some Thoughts on Dispensationalism from a Class on Dispensationalism Today we finished a 15-week course on Dispensationalism at The Master’s Seminary. This was a Th.M. course with a roundtable-discussion format (actually our table was rectangular but you get the idea). The students and I worked through several books both pro and con about Dispensationalism. I do not want to speak for everyone in the class but I want to offer some general observations about how the class viewed Dispensationalism. Dispensationalism has undergone significant developments throughout the years but Dispensationalism has a core set of beliefs that have remained stable, namely: (1) historical-grammatical hermeneutics should be applied to all aspects of Scripture including both testaments; (2) the NT does not reinterpret the OT; (3) OT promises and covenants that have not been fulfilled yet must be literally fulfilled in the future; and (4) there will be both a salvation and restoration of the nation Israel in the future.
The Nut LA A Comparison of Three Systems undefined Dispensationalism - Covenant Theology - New Covenant Theology by Donald Hochner There are three main systems of interpreting Scriptures that are the most prevalant in the Christian Church today: Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology and New Covenant Theology. [DISP] May be Arminian or modified Calvinist. *There is an unfortunate tendancy to translated the word "ecclesia" with the word church, when it can very well be translated "assembly", which would make more sense in the OT version of it. [NCT] Same as Dispensationalism. *We think some of the old Dispensationalists did believe in a Covenant of Redemption within the Trinity, but we are not sure and I don't know about the new modified Dispensationalists. [CT] The eternal Covenant of Redemption was within the Trinity to effect election. *I don't know if I would agree with that, and this may be a caricature on my part, as I'm not 100% sure about this. [CT] No man has ever been saved by works, but only by grace. Back to Home Page

Handmade by Michelle: Dear Santa - Christmas at ABNH week 3 Phew! Christmas is really creeping up - only 5 weeks to go! Week 3 of A Blog Named Hero's Christmas event is all about decor. I don't really make papercrafted decor items for around the house, except for at Christmastime! I decided to go all out and make something I've never tried before - a Kusudama ball. Kusudama flowers are origami flowers made by folding a square of paper for each petal. I started out by using patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and American Crafts - Amy Tangerine. The petals all start out as a square of paper: They get folded into petals, then 5 petals are glued together: (you can find a photo tutorial on folding the petals HERE) 12 flowers all folded and ready to assemble - I was a bit worried about glueing them all together, but that bit turned out to be really easy!
