My first Scofield had it in the notes!yes He did. Of course that edition has been revised at this point
The biggest issue I have with dispensational theology is the view there is a separate future for Jews and Christians.
Paul tells us in Ephesians that the two groups have been made into one “new man” by the work of Jesus on the cross.
For there to be a separate future for Jews and Christians the work of Jesus on the cross must be undone, which is impossible.
peace to you
I never got that supposed distinction. We all teach the covenants in teachings the ages (dispensations).So we are saying that God is faithful to His covenants -/ CORRECT?
Paul, in Ephesians, speaks of several things accomplished by the cross of Christ. The OT Law is abolished, the two groups are made into one new man, and both have access through the Father by Holy Spirit.I see two or three things from your comments that could be framed into questions for someone who teaches dispensational theology.
1) How can Jews and gentiles both be in the body of Christ and remain separate and distinct outside the body of Christ?
2) Does the one new man in Ephesians equate to a modified and restructured "old man?"
Is that fair? If not, then rephrase them to be more in line with your thoughts.
Now, a question for you. Why would a future for the nation of Israel and the nations of the gentiles separate and apart from the church undo the work of Jesus on the cross?

My understanding of dispensation theology is national Israel will be restored, along with a new temple and sacrifices and the worship of God according to the Law.
Is that correct?

Paul announced still a future for them!The Spirit, through the apostles, made no bones about convicting her for murdering her husband, Yahweh in the flesh, Christ the King:
7 How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. Rev 18
...but indeed she IS no queen, and she IS a widow, and she HAS seen great misery over the centuries...
Galatians 4:26
the Jerusalem above, she is our mother
To your question #1: The “Body of Christ” is identified in scripture as the church, made up of Jews/Gentiles.1) How can Jews and gentiles both be in the body of Christ and remain separate and distinct outside the body of Christ?
2) Does the one new man in Ephesians equate to a modified and restructured "old man?"
?
this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts
To your question #1: The “Body of Christ” is identified in scripture as the church, made up of Jews/Gentiles.
To your question #2: The passage in Ephesians is talking about two groups (Jew and Gentile) being made into one new man by the work of Jesus on the cross. There is no discussion of a “modified and restructured old man” as becoming a new man.
peace to you
