Dispensationalism is a modern heresy. (No, we are not going to bury the lede.) Taking shape, primarily, in the 1800s and 1900s, Dispensationalism posits a distinction between God’s plans for ‘Israel’ and the Church — this is contrary both to Scripture and to the historical teachings of the Church. God is no polygynist — He has but one bride.
Today, the churches, particularly in the US, are rife with Dispensationalist teachings, and it is our duty as Christians to refute these lies. God has only ever had one plan for humanity and one path to salvation — declared to the first man, Adam, in Genesis 3:15 and echoed throughout the pages of Scripture; there is no path to the Father except through the Son. In today’s episode, we go over the history of Dispensationalism, what Dispensationalism teaches, and why we, as Christians, must oppose this particularly pernicious false doctrine.

- Revelation by Louis A. Brighton from the Concordia Commentary series [Amazon]
- This commentary is from the Concordia Commentary series from CPH, and, thus, is from a Lutheran perspective, which is to say it teaches Amillennialism.
- A Case for Amillennialism by Kim Riddlebarger [Amazon]
- This book is from the Reformed perspective, and so, naturally, includes Reformed distinctives, but it still gives a good overview of Amillennialism and also spends times refuting various Millenarian claims.

| 0:07.0 | The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler. And I'm still, whoa. On today's |
| 0:45.4 | Stone Choir, we're going to be discussing the subject of dispensationalism. This is something that's been |
| 0:51.4 | discussed pretty widely online. We're going to link in the show |
| 0:55.2 | notes to a number of other podcasts from other Lutherans that we commend as not merely |
| 1:02.7 | companions to this episode, but in a way completion of some of the things that we're going to |
| 1:06.9 | discuss here. We are going to spend, you know, an hour and a half or two hours today |
| 1:12.5 | covering what could easily be a three-part series. We refuse to do a three-part series on dispensationalism. |
| 1:19.2 | Frankly, it's just not worth it. So we're going to have kind of three chunks inside this one |
| 1:25.0 | episode that by themselves each could be a fully flushed out episode. |
| 1:29.3 | The other podcasts I mentioned, there's going to be a brief history of power with Adam Coons |
| 1:34.4 | and Willie Grills. |
| 1:35.8 | Recently just this week did another podcast, specifically on dispensationalism. |
| 1:41.8 | Willie Grills also has another probably now defunct podcast called A Word Fitley |
| 1:45.9 | Spoken that has three episodes, one dealing with Cyrus Schofield, one dealing with eschatology, |
| 1:52.9 | and one dealing again with dispensationalism. We will recommend you listen to at least the first two |
| 1:59.7 | of those, one from Behop, one from Word Fittley. |
| 2:03.4 | And if you want to listen to all four, they're all great. They're all worth listening to, |
| 2:06.6 | but they were going to include more fleshed out stuff than we're going to get in here today. |
| 2:12.6 | There are three parts to discussing the subject of dispensationalism. And the reason that we're mentioning |
| 2:19.3 | there are these other episodes from other podcasts is that they left out one of them. We think |
| 2:24.2 | it's the most important part. So it's the part that we want to tackle here today. So when you're |
