Object: Dispensationalism and the 1,000 Year Reign
I'll leave the name out, but this is a response
I sent to someone who responded to someone
else and rightly pointed out to them that there
is only one way to God and that it is not by
what we did, or didn't do, trying to earn our
way there, as the Jews and Muslims and many
others in the world believe we should.
And no, I'm not saying that Jews and Muslims
are the same. I'm saying that *this* *part* of
their beliefs are the same and that they also
line up with the belief of many people who are
not saved and even the Roman Catholics, who,
while they claim Jesus is their Savior, believe
that it is "faith + works" that saves.
But anyway, on with the post. :)

Are you saying that Hitler hasn't been sent
to a "very special place in Hell" for what he
did to God's Chosen?


Hitler is in Hell, what he "did" does not matter.


Boy, are you a WEIRD "Christian!"


Nope !

I know that salvation comes by just one method,
an unsaved person cannot get there, by "not"
doing outward sins.

I agree with you. I am not a Dispensationalist,
but this does fly in the face of what most Christians
believe, since most of them (at least in the U.S.)
are Dispensationalists.
You see, they believe that Jesus is going to come
and rule for 1,000 years and that during this time,
He will sit in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.
Now why is that important in this discussion?
Simple! Because the temple only has one purpose
and that is to perform animal sacrifices. And that
means that Dispensationalists believe (and they
aren't shy about admitting it) that Jesus will oversee
(and be happy about) Jews performing these
animal sacrifices. Why is this such a bad thing?
Simple! :) Because it says that there's more than
one way to God and Jesus said He is the *ONLY*
way to God!
So the Dispy's (just abbreviating) have Jesus
overseeing animal sacrifices, which as we know,
only serve one purpose and that is to atone for
sins and they have Him happy about it!
Now the Dispy doctrine always falls flat on its face
and is a self-contradictory doctrine, as is Futurism
as a whole (no personal offense meant toward you).
Why do I say that? Well, let's look at it, because
there are three contradictions in this part of the
doctrine alone!
1) Performing animal sacrifices is a rejection of the
*ONE* time sacrifice of Christ, FOR ALL. And so,
basically, the Dispy's have the Jews that deny Christ,
going into a "rebuilt third temple" performing these
animal sacrifices with Him seated in this temple!
How does that work?! How is it that they would be
able to say that Jesus isn't the Messiah, when He is
right there, running the show?! That doesn't make
any sense whatsoever!!!
2) The temple is built by man and that flies in the
face of what the Bible says! The Bible says that
God does not dwell in temples made with hands
and says that those (including the Jews) who
think so, "resist the Holy Ghost":
"...the Most High does not dwell in temples made
with hands, as the prophet says: Heaven is My
throne, and earth is My footstool. What house
will you build for Me? says the Lord, or what is
the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all
these things? You stiff-necked and uncircumcised
in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit;
As your fathers did, so do you!" - Acts 7:48-51
Of course, as Stephen said, he was quoting
a prophet, who happened to be Isaiah:
"Thus says the LORD: Heaven is My throne,
and earth is My footstool. Where is the house
that you will build Me? And where is the place
of My rest? For all those things My hand has
made, and all those things exist, says the LORD."
- Isaiah 66:1
And of course, Paul quoted Isaiah as well, to some
pagan Gentiles, when he ran across that altar to
"the unknown god"...
"Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said,
Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very
religious; For as I was passing through and considering
the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with
this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore,
the One whom you worship without knowing, Him
I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and
everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth,
does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is
He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed
anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all
things." - Acts 17:22-25
So to even suggest that Christ (Whom we state is God)
would live in this temple, is to "resist the Holy Spirit"!
It lowers Him to the level of the creation, rather than
being the Creator, since the prophet said that He does
not dwell in temples made with hands and that it is
by Him that all things exist in the first place, so to
claim He would dwell in a man made temple, is to,
as I said, lower Him and it flat out contradicts what
the Bible says!
3) To claim that Christ will sit in a temple and oversee
animal sacrifices, is to say that even He does not believe
that His "one time sacrifice" was sufficient! Furthermore,
the Dispy doctrine has Him coming to Earth for this
supposed "1,000 year reign" and even though they
claim "free will", the Dispy's have Him enforcing peace
on Earth for 1,000 years, even though not everyone
is born again! And then, after this 1,000 years,
He says, "Psyche!", picks up and leaves and lets Satan
take over and rule the world! What kind of sick, twisted
"Savior" would do that?!
So this "Savior" goes against the Scriptures and then
forces people to be at peace and then gives everyone
a taste of peace on Earth and then says "Psyche!" and
leaves everyone to be at the mercy of Satan, having
been booted off of His throne by Satan after 1,000
years, which is the only way that God would leave
His throne?! Yea, that's a "Lord" worthy of worship,
huh? NOT!!!
As I said, the Dispy/Futurist doctrine is self-contradictory
at every turn and yet, when these things are pointed out
to the Dispy's, do they take the Scriptural correction?
NO!!! Rather, they change some details of their doctrine
on the fly, making it up as they go and then claim that
because I do not believe their doctrine, that I am not
of God and am antiChrist!
My point is, that Jesus is either the only way, or He
is not! And I know what the Dispy's THINK the Bible
says about this 1,000 year reign, but it does not say
what they think it does and to them, it's all about
Jesus redeeming some dirt, not people, since they
believe that's what happens and believe that Jesus
will be okay with animal sacrifices for sins, if the
folks are Jewish, which means that there are two
ways to God, not just one and these animal sacrifices
are plain and simple, an abomination to God, since
they are like slapping Jesus in the face and laughing
at Him on the cross!
Like I said, I agree with what you said and while
I won't say that you don't believe what you said,
how many Dispy's make the same claim and yet,
do not REALLY believe it? Hmmm...

"For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near,
a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. And
the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall
be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and
they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations
shall be broken down." - Ezekiel 30:3-4 (prophecy about
Egypt, fulfilled in 480 B.C.)
