Today I burned a NWT

[Salty]

John MacArthur has ALWAYS been a self described "leaky dispensationalist". ...

The other day I found a New World Translation of the “bible”(not really a Bible), and today I burned it in my BBQ grill. I regularly burn material that I find, produced by the JW’s or the Mormons etc. (Although I have not as yet, had the pleasure of burning a Koran.)

The reason for this post, is remind everyone that it is Biblically commanded to do so....
Titus 1:10-11
V.10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
V.11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

If I could, I would physically “shut the mouths” of every false prophet; But even though this is not possible, I(we) can destroy there lying literature.

Jesus said:

"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."

Seeing as there are people out there made ready by God to hear and receive the gospel maybe your time would be better spent reaching out to them rather than acting like Westboro Baptist Church.

sorry to but in here, "but" as the conversation has stalled for a moment, let me say to "Salty"

I enjoyed the read. It does confirm Mac as saying I am a "leaky dispensationalist" as I originally commented. I have listened to many hours of Mac's teaching and surely, as with every man who interprets Scripture, I don't give him a free pass on totality, I find he is 100:1 more in line with the dispy camp than Amil or Covenant.

"Don’t join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed." (Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States)

That one less NWT bible is in the world is of no matter. Your time would be much more well-spent speaking truth to those who are blinded by these false translations. One less adherent to false religions blinded by such false translations???...now that matters greatly.

Consider this; Use your grill to "burn" some beef flesh and place it between two slices of bread with perhaps a little mayo, onion, ketchup, mustard and a slice or pickle (or any combination thereof) and provide some Sweet Tea on the side of the road (or adjacent parking lot, whichever is safer)in front of one of your local "Kingdom Hall" and place a large sign that reads' "Free burger with drink and the True gospel of Jesus 100% Jehovah, 100% Man"

If you live close enough I'll help fund it and also be willing to help share the Truth with all takers. (I'm in the Center of the Sunshine State).:thumbs: (completely serious)

Thanks for the Link Salty. MacArthur has some interesting things to say about dispensationalism;

Lastly, MacArthur’s criticism of specific writers is reserved exclusively for Dispensational scholars. Examples of those he criticizes include Chafer, Ryrie, Hodges, Constable, Scofield, Wilkin, and Thieme. He never criticizes the views of any non-dispensationalist. Indeed, he favorably quotes from nearly forty non-dispensational and often quite anti-dispensational scholars for support in his disparagement of Free Grace. Many times, the specific works MacArthur criticizes were written in defense of Dispensationalism (e.g., English, Chafer, Larkin, GAJ, p. 96). The reasons stated above, along with one major purpose of GAJ being to proclaim a non-dispensational view of Jesus’s earthly ministry, has led many (including me) to conclude that it is as much an attack on normative Dispen-sationalism as it is an attack on Free Grace. This intention is especially clear in his statement, “Frankly, some mongrel species of dispensationalism [which he has defined as the Dispensationalism of Ryrie, Chafer, and others] ought to die, and I will be happy to join the cortege” (GAA, p. 221). It is reasonable to regard such a statement as hostile to Dispensationalism.

And that is exactly how dispensationalism got a giant hold in the Baptist Church, the Churches of God, the Pentecostals, and to some extent in the Presbyterian Church. McGee was a strong classic dispensationalist and a Presbyterian preacher.

Like MacArthur he was worth listening to until he wondered into dispensational doctrine.

If you really want to see something weird look at the Dake Bible. He has comments top, bottom, and each side! You have to search to find what the Scripture really says.

Perhaps the truth is more that while the reformed got it right concerning Sotierology proper, our bethren failed to rightly divide the Bible as regarding eschatology and church/Israel though?

Just confirms that there is no one "true view" among Dispy christians though, just as there is no real "one view" in reformed circles, as they have also new Covenant theologies/Classical reformed/new calvinists etc!

Absolutely not; you splintered the Bible and ruptured the evangelical churches!

How so? When does the true teaching of what the Bible teaches do that?

True teaching of the Bible does not. Inventing a pre-trib-removal of the church and a "parenthesis" church out of whole cloth is not true teaching of the Bible.
