The Late Great Planet Church



Congratulations, Jerry Johnson, on producing a new DVD, “The Late Great Planet Church: The Rise of Dispensationalism”, Volume One.

This DVD, which is going like pancakes, can be ordered from NiceneCouncil.com.

According to this DVD, Dispensationalism:

--Has broken continuity with church history
--Wrongly interprets the Word of God with a flawed hermeneutic
--Has been a willing participant in the church’s trend toward anti-intellectualism and even Arminianism
--Embraces Greek philosophical dualism that comes dangerously close to the ancient heresy of Gnosticism
--Has embraced an unbiblical view of the Church and Israel with one method of Salvation for the Church and one for Israel
--Is not an eschatology build on theology, but a theology built on eschatology
--Inevitably leads to cultural withdrawal and surrender
--Often holds that the Sermon on the Mount is law not grace and that the doctrine of grace is in the Epistles and not the Gospels

Problems of Dispensationalism have been addressed by "Progressive Dispensationalists". Christians tend to leave Dispensationalism for Covenantal theology rather than vice versa.

Although the DVD is two hours, it can be accessed through scenes for study in adult classes. I recommend!

The Most Important Christian Event So Far

Imagine sitting at the table after Jesus Christ was crucified. Suddenly you realize that it is the risen Jesus Christ breaking bread with you!

Luke 24:30,31

There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood

from the hymn

There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains. . .

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away. . .

E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die. . .

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more. . . .

Palm Sunday

penned by Fanny Crosby
Praise Him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever;
Crown him! crown him! Prophet, and Priest and King!
Christ is coming! Over the world victorious,
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.
Praise him! praise him! tell of his excellent greatness,
Praise him! praise him! ever in joyful song. AMEN.
