I was referring to the "Book of Hebrews" not just a couple of verses of it.He was writing about the fact that the entire Old Covenant and its Temple worship was about to disappear for ever (Heb. 8:13). The Puritan John Owen in his great (in every respect!) commentary on Hebrews gives 17 ways in which the New Covenant is better than the Mosaic one. Here's my take on the subject. Note especially Owen's seventeenth point.

BTW, wouldn't it be great to be a Puritan preacher? ".........and seventeenthly......." :laugh:
You are spreading false doctrine with statements like the above. The dispensational error foisted on gullible "Christians" has caused nothing but trouble in the Body of Jesus Christ since it was first developed in the 1800's.The Pope driven church must be Amil and reject all dispensation, because if not, the acceptance of the false prophet and joining to the Antichrist would also oblige them to agree that they are the ones being discussed.
Baptists did not come out of Rome and they were not dispensationalists either. The pre-trib removal of the "parenthesis" church {so that GOD could continue HIS program for Israel} was the invention of John Nelson Darby about 1830. In this country it had its earliest acceptance among the Presbyterians. It was apparently adopted by the Pentecostal groups which formed in the late 1800's. The Scofield notes were instrumental in spreading the dispensational error among the Baptist Churches.All groups that held to the pope driven church (Episcopalians, Lutherans, puritans) rather than separating from that evil, also carried with them the Amil view.
This Baptist has never adopted the "replacement" doctrine. I believe that GOD has had one people throughout time, those whose sins are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. The Southern Baptist Faith and Message of 2000 takes this same view:Because the Puritans were actively discrediting the Jews (as was Martin Luther, Bach, and other folks of that age) the contention was that the church replaced Israel (replacement theology) and that the world was going to evolve better and better until the world embraced Christ and there would be heaven on earth.
The Baptist Faith and Message [Section VI] adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta, Georgia on June 14, 2000.
“The New Testament also speaks of the church as the Body of Christ which includes all the redeemed of all ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.”
GOD speaking through the Apostle Paul has a lot to say to you dispensationalists who do not understand HIS CHURCH:A great deal of prophecy and the revelation is taken as allegory, and already fulfilled. This view is also sometimes referred to as Covenant theology.
Why is it that dispensationalists who follow the teaching of Darby, Scofield, Chafer, Ryrie, Ironside, etc., etc. etc. get so incensed when anyone mentions that the false concept that the CHURCH for which Jesus Christ died is only a "parenthesis" in GOD's program for Israel?None of that thinking aligns with Scriptures when taken literally as possible unlike that of dispensation views.
So there are assemblies that get it all wrong. The doctrine of Darby is false and the doctrine of Salvation by Sovereign Grace is Biblical. There has always been a congregation that taught the Biblical doctrines of the Church for which Jesus Christ diedTherefore, there are more than one reformed assembly that also rejects Covenant theology in favor of pre-mil dispensation views.
Okay.You quote from the book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews thoroughly refutes Replacement theology. The premise of the book thoroughly refutes it.
The author is writing to discouraged Hebrew Christians, Jewish believers who had become discouraged because of persecution and trials in life. They were thinking of going back to OT worship, to the Temple. How much easier would that be! They would no longer be the enemy of their former family who no doubt expelled them and even tried to kill them. (Think of what Saul was like before he became Paul).
In the entire book the author sets before his readers two distinct thoughts: OT worship (Israel) and NT worship; the Temple vs. the Spirit; the High Priest of the OT vs. the Great High Priest (Christ) of the NT, etc.
The key phrase is "better than". Christ is "better than," better than every thing that Israel has to offer, than OT worship has to offer, than the Temple has to offer.
They were thinking of going back to "Temple worship," or the OT ways, Judaism, the ways of Israel, or simply becoming an Israelite once again. The book was written just before 70 A.D. Obviously Israel was still in existence. The comparison is made that Christianity and Christ is better than Israel and the Temple and its worship. The entire theme proves the existence of Israel. The church had not replaced Israel. The book of Hebrews proved its existence. What do you think he was writing about???
I will leave it others to contend over these posts.
I frankly don't care anymore.
Those who do not see the true of what both John and Paul states as the current and future condition of the Jewish nation will merely have to see it unfold.
Frankly, I believe the prophets, and the NT writers, and so did the vast majority of the earliest days of the church. That is until the control was usurped by the Romanists and the Pope rules and demands.
"Premillennialism teaches that the Second coming will occur before a literal thousand-year reign of Christ from Jerusalem upon the earth. In the early church, premillennialism was called chiliasm, from the Greek term meaning 1,000, a word used six times in Revelation 20:2-7. This view is most often contrasted with Postmillennialism which sees Christ's return after a golden "millennial age" where Christ rules spiritually from his throne in heaven, and Amillennialism which sees the millennium as a figurative reference to the current church age.Let others contend, I am done.
"Premillennialism was the most widely held view of the earliest centuries of the church."
(from Premillennialism,, Theopedia)
It's not replacement. The Israel of God has always been the Household of Faith. The Temple, the Priesthood and the Offerings are over. They're done. Christ is the real seed of Abraham, now the real High Priest, not according to the Law, which commanded a descendant of Aaron, but according to the power of an endless life. Christ is our real High Priest, after the real order (Melchisedek), standing in the real Holy of Holies, making real intercession for the real Israel, those who are children of Abraham by Faith.
The Law is done. The Levitical priesthood is done. The temple made with hands? Done. Geographical and political Israel? Done. THAT was the Parentheses.
You have given your opinion and not definite proof.You are spreading false doctrine with statements like the above. The dispensational error foisted on gullible "Christians" has caused nothing but trouble in the Body of Jesus Christ since it was first developed in the 1800's.
I have shown on numerous occasions that historically Baptists were predominantly Amillennial as indicated in their Confessions {Baptist Confessions of Faith by Lumpkin}
http://www.spurgeon.org/eschat.htm#statementsI am no prophet, nor the son of a prophet; neither do I profess to be able to explain all the prophecies in this blessed Book. I believe that many of them will only be explained as the events occur which they foretell. Yet there are some things which are plain even to the most superficial reader. It is plain, for instance, that it is certainly foretold that the power of Antichrist shall be utterly and eternally destroyed, and that Babylon, that is to say, the Papal system, with all its abominations, shall be cast like a millstone into the flood, to rise no more for ever. It is also certain that the Jews, as a people, will yet own Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of David, as their King, and that they will return to their own land, "and they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the old cities, the desolations of many generations." It is certain also that our Lord Jesus Christ will come again to this earth, and that he will reign amongst his ancients gloriously, and that there will be a thousand years of joy and peace such as were never known on this earth before. It is also certain that there will be a great and general judgment, when all nations shall be gathered before the Son of man sitting upon the throne of his glory; and his final award concerning those upon his left hand will be, "These shall go away into everlasting punishment;" and concerning those upon his right hand, "but the righteous into eternal life." How all these great events are to be chronologically arranged, I cannot tell170 [emphasis ours].
Again you err. Dispensationalism has been around since the ECF, as was posted. Baptist teaching has been around since that time as well. There has not been an age in history where God has not had his people, and they haven't been the RCC.Baptists did not come out of Rome and they were not dispensationalists either. The pre-trib removal of the "parenthesis" church {so that GOD could continue HIS program for Israel} was the invention of John Nelson Darby about 1830. In this country it had its earliest acceptance among the Presbyterians. It was apparently adopted by the Pentecostal groups which formed in the late 1800's. The Scofield notes were instrumental in spreading the dispensational error among the Baptist Churches.
Of course that is not true is it? Do you descend from Levi, or from Mechizedek? Can you prove it? Obviously not.This Baptist has never adopted the "replacement" doctrine. I believe that GOD has had one people throughout time, those whose sins are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. The Southern Baptist Faith and Message of 2000 takes this same view:
On THIS board You are the only one to use this terminology. No one else has. If no one here has used this term, or has admitted that we believe it, then why do you accuse us of believing it? It is a false accusation. Simply because you say those men believe in such a doctrine does not mean the rest of us believe in it. Your problem is:GOD speaking through the Apostle Paul has a lot to say to you dispensationalists who do not understand HIS CHURCH:
Galatians 3:16. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Why is it that dispensationalists who follow the teaching of Darby, Scofield, Chafer, Ryrie, Ironside, etc., etc. etc. get so incensed when anyone mentions that the false concept that the CHURCH for which Jesus Christ died is only a "parenthesis" in GOD's program for Israel?
There are many assemblies that are wrong on many things. That is a given.So there are assemblies that get it all wrong. The doctrine of Darby is false and the doctrine of Salvation by Sovereign Grace is Biblical. There has always been a congregation that taught the Biblical doctrines of the Church for which Jesus Christ died
He is referring to the era of Spurgeon.What could be identified as amillennialism represented the
official positions the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of
England, although there was latitude within Anglicanism for a wide
spectrum on eschatological views. Outside of the established church
the influential non-conformist theologian Philip Doddridge (1702-51),
"rejected the very notion of a millennium."10 The Congregational
theologian, Josiah Conder wrote in 1838 that any view of a literal
millennial kingdom was "aberrational."11
The law does not allow a descendant of Judah to serve in the Temple, and yet, Christ, a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, is made the High Priest....
The Israel of God has always been the Household of Faith.
….Replacement theology is poor theology.
Prophet. Priest. King.
As a descendant of Judah He now reigns on the throne of David.
As Prophet, He was like unto Moses. To Him were the Jews to hearken in all things whatsoever He spoke to them.
The Israel of God has always been those born from the Jerusalem that is above, Jew or Gentile. Jews inwardly ,circumcised in heart with the work of the law written upon their heart. There were always more ‘Israel of God’ outside the Mosaic Covenant than there were of those that ‘had the Husband’.
I know nothing about replacement ‘theology’. I know my Bible well enough to know that God, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, spoke through Noah:
God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem… Gen 9:27
And the Prophet
….But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins. And no man having drunk old wine desireth new; for he saith, The old is good. Lk 5:38,39
I think the revulsion to the idea of Israel after the flesh being ‘replaced’ is from the tendency of hoi polloi to think only in terms of eternal consequences. Being cast out of the kingdom into the outer darkness does not equate to ‘infinity in a pain amplifier’. It is synonymous with the curses outlined in Lev 26 & Dt 28 and other places. The loss is in this temporal realm, not the eternal.
Whether you want to call it being ‘replaced’ or not, a ‘switch’ has definitely occurred:
30 For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.
32 For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Ro 11

You have given your opinion and not definite proof.
AND YOU GAVE YOUR OPINION AND NOT DEFINITE PROOF ALSO.
You are not at liberty to call his doctrine "heresy."
There are many on this board that hold the same doctrine.
HE DID NOT USE THE WORD HERESY DID HE....HE SPOKE ABOUT FALSE TEACHING AND ERROR AS YOU HAVE.
In fact, Spurgeon himself held to the same "heresy."
http://www.spurgeon.org/eschat.htm#statements
YOU AGAIN USE THE WORD HERESY WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN USED BY YOU.SPURGEON WAS HISTORIC PREMILLENNIAL NOT DISPENSATIONAL PREMILL......SO YOU SAYING HE BELIEVED THE SAME IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT
Spurgeon was no heretic; neither are the other dispensationalists on this board.
NNE SAID HE WAS A HERETIC. ....YOU ADDED THAT TERM AS YOU USUALLY DO.
Again you err. Dispensationalism has been around since the ECF, as was posted.
WRONG...IT IS YOU WHO ERROR AS OLD REGULAR HAS GIVEN THE CORRECT TIME LINE WHICH YOU REJECT EVEN THOUGH A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW IT.
Baptist teaching has been around since that time as well. There has not been an age in history where God has not had his people, and they haven't been the RCC.
Your obsession with Darby and Scofield has blinded your eyes to the truth of history.
HE HAS AN OBSESSION WITH THE TRUTH THAT YOU AND OTHERS DENY.
Of course that is not true is it? Do you descend from Levi, or from Mechizedek? Can you prove it? Obviously not.
HE DID NOT SAY HE DESCENDED FROM LEVI DID HE?
Your contention (or theory) is very much like some of the extreme Landmarker's which believe that to be a "true Baptist" you must be baptized by a baptist who was baptized by a baptist who was baptized by a baptist...right down to the disciples. Yes, you say, God has had his people right back to ...who did you say??? Right back to his disciples??? You have that genealogy written down right? Just like the Mormons do? They are the ones who claim they can trace their genealogy back to Adam, and they are the chosen race. You are claiming close to the same thing.
YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE ACCURACY OF HIS STATEMENTS....SNCE AGAIN YOU SUGGEST HE IS A LANDMARKER...OR LIKE MORMONS:laugh::laugh:EVERYONE SEES THROUGH THIS.
Salvation is by faith in Christ, not by genealogy.
So, how do you know that you are one of the elect? Where is your certificate?
WE KNOW YOU DENY THIS TRUTH....NOW YOU MOCK THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND IT?
On THIS board You are the only one to use this terminology. No one else has.
SEVERAL OF US HAVE CORRECTLY USED THIS TERM...IT IS AND HAS BEEN USED IN RECENT CHURCH HISTORY TO DESCRIBE THIS ERROR.
If no one here has used this term, or has admitted that we believe it, then why do you accuse us of believing it? It is a false accusation. Simply because you say those men believe in such a doctrine does not mean the rest of us believe in it. Your problem is:
interaction with those whom you debate, and,
assumptions that you know what they believe. You are wrong.
NO...WRONG AGAIN.THAT IS THE CLASSIC TEACHING WHICH HE ACCURATELY DESCRIBES.ANY OF YOU WHO DENY IT DO SO BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE VIEW TO BE UNBIBLICAL ERROR.ALL YOUR OBJECTION HERE IS ,IS A WEAK ATTEMPT TO AVOID
THE REAL HISTORIC POSITION AND HIDE FROM HAVING TO DEFEND THAT WHICH IS FALSE. WHEN CORRECTION IS GIVEN BY O.R. OR KYREDNECK OR AARON IT IS EASIER TO JUST DENY IT.....LOL SAYING ...WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.
. I don't believe the doctrines that TULIP represents are biblical. I believe they are in error.
TULIP is not found in the Bible
AND WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF ERROR YOU OFFER INSTEAD.
, but "dispensation" is.
SURE IT IS.... BUT DISPENSATIONALISM IS NOT:laugh:

https://marprelate.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/the-new-covenant/
BTW, wouldn't it be great to be a Puritan preacher? ".........and seventeenthly......." :laugh:
.... John Calvin?
I don't know very much about his views on eschatology were. Does anyone know whether he was Amill, Postmill, or Premill?
Also, would it necessarily mean that those who claim to be in the Calvinist camp when it comes to his views on "The Five Points" are also in his very same camp when it comes to whatever his eschatological views were?
The fact that both Jew and Gentile are saved under the New Covenant denies a "switch."
This suggests that what occurs in salvation in Christ occurred under the Law and prior economies, and that thee is simply a different recipient.
That is not the case.
And Prophecy makes it clear that National Israel will be redeemed, and that Christ will rule that Kingdom for one thousand years.
No, not any of "us" that is, non-cals. Who? Which of "us," non-cals have admitted to believing in it? It is your accusation, not our admission.My opinion was that he was wrong, and I demonstrated how he was. It was based in fact.I AM RESPONDING BY PHONE,NOT SURE HOW TO QUOTE ON THE PHONE SO MY RESPONSES WILL BE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS....
You have given your opinion and not definite proof.

HE DID NOT USE THE WORD HERESY DID HE....HE SPOKE ABOUT FALSE TEACHING AND ERROR AS YOU HAVE.
Yes, you are right. The exact words were "false doctrine," --same meaning.
The exact quote was:
1. It is not false doctrine, just as Spurgeon did not hold to false doctrine.You are spreading false doctrine with statements like the above. The dispensational error foisted on gullible "Christians" has caused nothing but trouble in the Body of Jesus Christ since it was first developed in the 1800's.
2. Dispensationalism is not error foisted on gullible Christians. Were all the ECF (Chiliasts) gullible?
3. Dispensationalism existed long before Darby. Isaac Watts was a dispensationalist with an outline very similar to that of Scofield. Remember we are speaking of dispensations. Even the ECF believed in dispensations. So did the Apostle Paul. Look the word up in a concordance.
Spurgeon was a dispensationalist. His writings demonstrate it. If you read the links I gave to you, you would not be able to deny this truth. The fact that he was a historic premillennialist does not deny his dispensationalism. It also proves his believe in the premillennial return of Christ, his belief in the separation of church and Israel, his belief in a literal and earthly millennial kingdom--all of which you deny. I never said he believed "exactly" as I believe. No two men believe "exactly" the same, unless one of them doesn't have any brains to think for himself.In fact, Spurgeon himself held to the same "heresy."
http://www.spurgeon.org/eschat.htm#statements
YOU AGAIN USE THE WORD HERESY WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN USED BY YOU.SPURGEON WAS HISTORIC PREMILLENNIAL NOT DISPENSATIONAL PREMILL......SO YOU SAYING HE BELIEVED THE SAME IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT
Let's consider that word "heretic" for it used but one time in the Bible, in Acts 24:14.Spurgeon was no heretic; neither are the other dispensationalists on this board.
NNE SAID HE WAS A HERETIC. ....YOU ADDED THAT TERM AS YOU USUALLY DO.
Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
--Thayer's Greek Lexicon says of this word:
hairesis
1) act of taking, capture: e.g. storming a city
2) choosing, choice
3) that which is chosen
4) a body of men following their own tenets (sect or party)
4a) of the Sadducees
4b) of the Pharisees
4c) of the Christians
5) dissensions arising from diversity of opinions and aims
Concerning the way the word is used in this verse, Vine, in his Word Studies, says:Thus the word is used in the sense of causing division.A sect
See on Act_24:5. The word is commonly used in an indifferent sense, as signifying merely a school or party. So Act_15:5; Act_28:22. Here, however, in a bad sense - schismatic sect, as in 1Co_11:19.
Actually the phrase that OR used, "false doctrine," is even a stronger word than the way "heresy" is used in the Bible, making the charge that much worse.
You do the search. The ECF were Chiliasts. That means they believed in the Millennial Kingdom. They believed in the literal Second Coming. Obviously they believed in dispensations. We just named a couple. Others have researched it out for you. Your policy of: deny, deny, deny is well known.Again you err. Dispensationalism has been around since the ECF, as was posted.
WRONG...IT IS YOU WHO ERROR AS OLD REGULAR HAS GIVEN THE CORRECT TIME LINE WHICH YOU REJECT EVEN THOUGH A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW IT.
As I said previously, Scofield's dispensational outline is so similar to that of Isaac Watts, many believe that he may have gotten it from Watts, not from Darby.
It is sad that believers today do not believe that the gospel and its evangelical teachings as we believe it today was not present during or before the Reformation. That is truly sad. It is sad to see that many posters here have been so brainwashed by the RCC to believe that they are the only "Christians" to have existed during certain eras of history, when they were never Christians in the first place.Baptist teaching has been around since that time as well. There has not been an age in history where God has not had his people, and they haven't been the RCC.
Your obsession with Darby and Scofield has blinded your eyes to the truth of history.
HE HAS AN OBSESSION WITH THE TRUTH THAT YOU AND OTHERS DENY.
He didn't have to. The inference was obvious. Christianity did not come from Adam, Abraham or Israel. It came from Christ. The very word "Christianity" means "followers of Christ." Who do you follow?Of course that is not true is it? Do you descend from Levi, or from Mechizedek? Can you prove it? Obviously not.
HE DID NOT SAY HE DESCENDED FROM LEVI DID HE?
The statement he made (in the light of Christianity) is:Your contention (or theory) is very much like some of the extreme Landmarker's which believe that to be a "true Baptist" you must be baptized by a baptist who was baptized by a baptist who was baptized by a baptist...right down to the disciples. Yes, you say, God has had his people right back to ...who did you say??? Right back to his disciples??? You have that genealogy written down right? Just like the Mormons do? They are the ones who claim they can trace their genealogy back to Adam, and they are the chosen race. You are claiming close to the same thing.

"This Baptist has never adopted the "replacement" doctrine. I believe that GOD has had one people throughout time,..."
--But this is not true. God has called out different people at different times in history. We are not all of one lineage. That is the point.
This entire premise contradicts John 1:13
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
--God called out different peoples at different times by faith. Faith is the underlying reason why different individuals were called by God.
Abraham believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.
Thus Israel still exists today. One day Israel will turn to Christ as a nation.
One cannot nullify those promises in the prophetic portions of scripture given to the nation of Israel. We are not of the blood and stock of Israel, as is being put forth here. Christ came into this world as a Jew. We are not.
Salvation is of the Jews, Christ said. Your theology involves genealogy.
Salvation is by faith.
Different peoples in different eras all called out by faith.
Salvation is by faith in Christ, not by genealogy.
I put my faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently he saved me. Then Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit began to change me. How do you know you were regenerated before that time?So, how do you know that you are one of the elect? Where is your certificate?
WE KNOW YOU DENY THIS TRUTH....NOW YOU MOCK THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND IT?
On THIS board You are the only one to use this terminology. No one else has.
SEVERAL OF US HAVE CORRECTLY USED THIS TERM...IT IS AND HAS BEEN USED IN RECENT CHURCH HISTORY TO DESCRIBE THIS ERROR.
Give me the URL where any of the non-Cals have admitted belief in it, or apologize for false accusations. Not every dispensationalist believes the same thing.If no one here has used this term, or has admitted that we believe it, then why do you accuse us of believing it? It is a false accusation.

I don't deny that at all. That happens in the Millennial Kingdom as prophesied in Isaiah many times over.except that God promised that isreal would have the messiah rule and reign over them, as a greater king david, and that he also said that by his own name and by his own oath that he would not forsake national isreal in the end, as you would make Him be doing!
