False Doctrine of Dispensationalism

Introduction

For as many of you as were baptized in Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if you are Christ's then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise Galatians 3:27-29

It is also my understanding that some Christians believe that God had intended all to be forever obedient to the law until the disobedience of the Jewish people and their rejection of Christ compelled Him to send his disciple Paul to the Gentile Nations with a message of Grace.

I was most astonished to discover that there are also those who believe that God has yet to re-establish an earthly kingdom for the Jews with Christ as King and that in this Kingdom will exist a temple where animal sacrifices will once again be resumed. Read more...
