Dispensational Prophecy Myths Busted

Gary DeMar recently debated Jim Fletcher, author of "It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" and director of Prophecy Matters, on whether or not modern Israel is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. In preparation for this debate, Gary wrote a new book titled "10 Popular Prophecy Myths Exposed". This book lays out some of the most popular dispensational teachings and refutes them from God's Word.

Why dont you have a debate with Robert Mclaughlin of Grace Bible Church?

I appreciate your ministry Gary DeMar. But I don't like your criticism of libertarianism. I'm more of a Gary North guy. :)

I'm not a preterism, rather a Historist, but I appreciate what Gary De Mar does.

Thank you Gary DeMar for speaking the truth!

@StLukey7 Did God make a covenant with the Jews or with Israel? I am not aware of a Jewish one. Yeshua is Lord there is no Israel apart from Him.

not sure what that ark has to do with dispensations on earth. can you point it out to me, where is it? can you take a picture of it for me...if you look out the window...you will see jews. god mentions dozens of nations in scripture. and say i have a convenant with two nations. jews and arabs...none of the nations in the bible exist anymore....except the jews and the arabs....YOU: "well thats just a coincidence"

(cont.) I've got gigantic wonderful news. The Heavenly Sanctuary which Christ Ministers before the Ark of the Covenant in heaven, with the original Tables of Stone encased on it, known as the "testimony" (See Revelation 11:19; 15:5) is not in any way tied to "dispensations". It is ETERNAL. Christ still mediates on behalf of sinners in heaven. This is why there is still Mercy and still Grace, as we come before God to confess our sins, and we have a Mediator.

@StLukey7

(cont.) All the covenants were GRADUAL reintegrations of God's EVERLASTING COVENANT, for which the Ten Commandments were intrinsically a part of. All the dispensations were teaching lessons to bring humanity back into harmony with God's Law.  All the dispensations were teaching devices to educate God's people the grand plan of salvation, and understand His Sanctuary which is in Heaven. (cont.)

@St Do realize that we as Adventists believe in "dispensations". But believing in "dispensations" is far different from being a "dispensationalist". It is the WAY you dispensationalists view these dispensations that is wrong. For example, you would like us to believe that the Ten Commandments were only for the Jewish dispensation & not for the Church. This is nothing but a doctrine of devils. (cont.)

"covenant theology is one of the newest fads for Christians today"? Might I remind you that NONE of our Reformers were Dispensationalists? John Nelson Darby was the father of Dispensationalism, LONG after the Reformers. Also, NONE of the Church fathers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Polycarp, Tertullian, etc. were Dispensational. ALL of them believed that Israel was realized in the Church in the New Testament era, and we have dozens of quotes from them to prove it.
