NEW ARTICLE BY MIKE BLUME

THE HERESY OF LITERAL ANIMAL SACRIFICES IN A MILLENNIUM

Mike Blume responds to Thomas Ice! Ice wrote about why literal animal sacrifices in the Millennium are not at all a heretical thought. Mike challenges this claim and proves it is heretical with a point by point response to Ice's argument. Ezekiel 45 prophesies of animals sacrificed for sin and for atonement. Since Hebrews 10 distinctly claims there can be no more offering for sin and atonement, these prophecies of Ezekiel can only be understood as biblical imagery of all that the cross of Jesus Christ provided for us in the Church Age. Read this exciting article about a very important aspect of the cross of Jesus Christ and His final sacrifice for sin.

AGAINST DISPENSATIONALISM - Double DVD

Is the Dispensational hermeneutic a literal hermeneutic? What is the supposed “law of first mention?” Who is true Israel? How does one become a Jew? Was the formation of the “new” state of Israel in 1948 fulfillment of Biblical prophecy? Does the Bible teach that there is a future temple yet to be built? Has dispensationalism broken continuity with the Word of God and Church history? Has dispensationalism in its history taught different ways of salvation?

NiceneCouncil.com’s 2008 Conference, Against Dispensationalism: Israel, the Church & Bible Prophecy, was held October 4-5 and the conference DVD features Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. (Th.D.), Kenneth G. Talbot (Ph.D.) and Jerry Johnson (M. Phil.) covering these and other topics. This two DVD set is divided into seven segments totaling nearly seven hours in length. The lecture titles are:

* Literally Abused: The Hermeneutics of Dispensationalism
* The Harlot Rides the Beast
* Not All of Israel is Israel
* Matthew and the Demise of Israel
* Against Dispensationalism Part I
* Against Dispensationalism Part II
* Roundtable Discussion (Q&A)

COMPARISON OF DISPENSATIONALISM & COVENANT THEOLOGY by Richard P. Belcher

Whether it is realized or not, every person has a system of theology. It may be a highly developed one or it may be a very simplistic one. It may be well formulated with a careful and purposeful consistency or it may be just a few convictions about several individual doctrines with no overall relationship to one another or concern for a harmony of the whole.

Two of the strongest systems of our day are known as Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. Throughout this century they have been challenging one another for consideration in the minds of Christians. In this present work, Dr. Belcher seeks in the first two chapters to state in an objective manner the convictions of both systems. In the final chapter he compares the two in important areas of thinking. In the conclusion he gives instructions for a Christian to consider as he seeks to build a system of theology or as he tries to understand which system of theology is really Scriptural.

A STUDY OF DISPENSATIONALISM by A.W. Pink

Early in his spiritual life Pink was a Scofield Reference Bible carrying Christian. Yet around 1929 he began to reject dispensational teachings, as he grew in his understanding of Reformed theology. In this little work, A Study of Dispensationalism, we discover his core complaint against dispensationalism: it destroys the unity and applicability of Scripture. He so vigorously turned from dispensationalism that in these pages he denounces it as a “modern and pernicious error.”

Through his characteristically insightful and compelling method he ably demonstrates dispensationalism’s destructive tendencies. Against dispensationalism he argues that “there is no conflict between the law and the Gospel of the grace of God.” Pink laments that “consciously or unconsciously, Dispensationalists are, in reality, repeating the sin of Jehoiakim, who mutilated God’s Word with his penknife (Jer. 36:23).” The Apologetics Group, Inc. (A Division of NiceneCouncil.com) is pleased to offer in print once again, Pink’s devastating critique of dispensationalism. This well supplements our concerns as expressed in our “Ninety-Five Theses Against Dispensationalism”. Reading Pink’s rebuttal of dispensationalism will show the earnest believer why our Ninety-Five Theses is such a necessary declaration. -- Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr.

THE LATE GREAT PLANET CHURCH
The Rise of Dispensationalism (DVD)

Many Christians today read their Bibles through the lens of pop-prophecy books like The Late Great Planet Earth and the Left Behind series. They naively believe the prophetic schemes and theological presuppositions expressed in these and other fictional writings represent the doctrinal positions that Christians down through the centuries have embraced. However, that is far from the truth.

Volume One of The Late Great Planet Church: The Rise of Dispensationalism is the first documentary of its kind. It exposes this erroneous system of thought as breaking continuity with history --- and even the very Word of God. In this first volume we will examine the beginnings, beliefs, and motivations of this innovative movement by focusing on its relatively recent development, stormy history and its most influential proponents.

BEFORE JERUSALEM FELL (DVD)

Revelation continues to be a favorite book for Christians today, just as it has been throughout the ages. Its bold drama easily captures our imagination in our visually-oriented culture. But Revelation is no easy book to understand. The Devil’s Dictionary facetiously defined “Revelation” as “a famous book in which St. John concealed all that he knew.” One of the key issues necessary for understanding John’s mysterious work is its date of composition. Once we realize when John wrote, the task of understanding what he wrote becomes much easier.

In this in-depth lecture, Dr. Gentry presents a helpful summary of his doctoral dissertation on Revelation’s date. He not only highlights fascinating evidence from ancient writers, but from Revelation’s text itself. He presents a concise, clear, and compelling case for a pre-AD 70 composition. Once he points out the clues in the text, a flood of light illuminates the story: John was writing Revelation as a prophetic warning of Jerusalem’s coming destruction, which ended the old covenant economy and secured the new covenant church a place in history. Once we hear the evidence, Revelation will become for us truly a revelation. We will experience as never before Revelation’s blessing : “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy” (Rev 1:3).

The 1599 Geneva Bible!

The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible in the English language, preceding the King James translation by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of the 16th Century Protestant movement and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare, John Knox, John Donne, and John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim’s Progress. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayfower, it was used by many English Dissenters, and it was still respected by Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers at the time of the English Civil War. What makes this Bible so significant is that it is the first mass-printed Bible offered with study notes and study aids for the common believer. The study notes in the Geneva Bible claim the 70 Weeks of Daniel were fulfilled, with the 70th week covering the years surrounding the the cross. It even mentions the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24 as being the idols of Rome's armies in the temple at Jerusalem in the first century. What an incredible witness of the early Church viewpoint of Kingdom Eschatology during the 1500's.
