Galatians 3:8 Answered:
Galatians 3:8 (KJV) – “And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
Notice how Galatians 3:8 says “foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,” and this was preached to Abraham when God said “in thee shall all nations be blessed.” This is a reference back to Genesis 12:3.
Genesis 12:3 (KJV) – “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
In other words, God was not preaching to Abraham that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, the foreseeing there is when God says “in thee shall all nations be blessed”
This is a foreshadow of the heathen becoming the spiritual seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ. That is why Galatians 3:8 says it was “preached BEFORE the gospel unto Abraham” this was done by God telling Abraham that in him will all nations be blessed, it’s talking about a future event, this was not the gospel itself being preached to Abraham.
Notice how God doesn’t tell Abraham that this is how he is saved, he is only foreshadowing future events.
This does NOT teach that Abraham was justified by the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There would be a contradiction in scripture if that was the case, because Ezekiel 3:18-21, Ezekiel 14:14-20, Ezekiel 18:24-27, Ezekiel 33:8-9, Ezekiel 33:12-19, and many other old testament scriptures clearly teach faith and works in the old testament.
Romans 4:1-3 Answered:
Romans 4:1-3 (KJV) – “What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
By isolating this one passage you would come to the non-dispensationalist heresy that salvation has always been the same. Non-dispensationalist heretics fail to compare scripture with scripture (1 Cor. 2:13).
James 2:20-24 gives more details about that justification that Abraham received.
James 2:20-24 (KJV) – “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
What’s going on? What is this “faith” that Abraham had?
Genesis 22:7-8 (KJV) – “And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.”
The faith that Abraham had was that God would provide a lamb for the burnt offering. This is further confirmed in Hebrews 11:17-19.
Hebrews 11:17-19 (KJV) – “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Abraham still had to do a work, which was to go and sacrifice his son. God confirms that he was testing Abraham’s faith.
Genesis 22:11-12 (KJV) – “And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.”
So when Romans 4:1-3 says that Abraham was justified by faith, it’s not saying that Abraham was putting his faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The faith that justified Abraham was the faith that God would provide a lamb for the burnt offering, Abraham was trusting God when he said he would provide a lamb, but Abraham still had to do a work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 Answered:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV) – “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
All scripture is indeed given by inspiration of God, I have yet to meet a dispensational teacher that denies this, every dispensational teacher I’ve talked to firmly believes that all scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, is given by inspiration of God.
However, non-dispensationalists fail to realize that not all scripture is written to or directly applies to the same people at the same time.
For example, Revelation 14:9-11 warns against taking the mark of the Beast, well, new testament Christians don’t have to worry about any mark being forced upon people with the threat of beheading, so Revelation 14:9-11 is given by inspiration of God, but it doesn’t apply to new testament Christians under grace, it applies to people in the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jer. 30:7), also called the time of the heathen (Ezek. 30:1-3), when the Antichrist set up his new world order (Revelation 13).
Another example of this is Leviticus 16 (whole chapter). This chapter is clear that animal sacrifices were needed as an atonement for sins under the law (see Lev. 16:21-22 in particular). Well, new testament Christians are not performing animal sacrifices to atone for their sins, our atonement is through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Eph. 5:2; Rom. 5:11; Heb. 9:12; Heb. 9:26). So Leviticus 16 was indeed given by inspiration of God, but it doesn’t apply to new testament Christians today.
Acts 26:22-23 Answered:
Acts 26:22-23 (KJV) – “Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: (23) That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.”
This is a common proof text of non-dispensationalists. What the non-dispensationalists fail to realize is that Paul is referring to the PROPHECIES of the Messiah coming and dying on the cross and rising from the dead (Psa. 2:1-12, Psa. 16:9-11, Psa. 22:1-31, Psa. 69:1-36, Isa. 53:1-12, Isa. 61:1-3, Zech. 12:10) and the Messiah being a light to the Gentiles (Isa. 42:1-7, Isa. 49:1-6).
Isaiah 42:1-7 (KJV) – “Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (2) He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. (3) A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. (4) He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. (5) Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: (6) I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; (7) To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”
Isaiah 49:1-6 (KJV) – “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (2) And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; (3) And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. (4) Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. (5) And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. (6) And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.”
Jesus references these same prophecies in Luke 24:44-47.
NONE of the prophecies that Paul is referring to say anything about Moses and the prophets preaching the death, burial, and resurrection FOR SALVATION in the Old Testament.
Genesis 15:6 Answered:
Genesis 15:6 (KJV) – “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
This is a key proof text that non-dispensationalists like to use to teach that Old Testament salvation was the same as New Testament salvation; this is done by butchering Romans 4:1-3 and trying to compare it with Genesis 15:6.
Romans 4:1-3 (KJV) – “What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? (2) For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. (3) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”
They are not identical by any means either before the law or under the law. Abraham was never circumcised spiritually like New Testament Christians are (Col. 2:11-14), Abraham did not go to heaven when he died.
Luke 16:22-31 (KJV) – “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; (23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. (27) Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: (28) For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. (29) Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. (30) And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. (31) And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
We clearly see that Abraham is able to interact verbally with the rich man in Hell (and Abraham being in Abraham’s Bosom also called “paradise” in Luke 23:43). So Abraham is clearly down in Abraham’s Bosom NOT up in heaven. Why? because Old Testament saints did not have their sins fully washed away and forgiven prior to the blood of Jesus Christ being shed on the cross, that is why when an Old Testament Israelite king dies he is described as sleeping with his fathers (see 1 Kings 2:10; 1 Kings 11:21; 1 Kings 11:43; 1 Kings 14:20; 1 Kings 14:31; 1 Kings 15:8; 1 Kings 15:24; 1 Kings 16:6; 1 Kings 16:28; 1 Kings 22:40; 1 Kings 22:50; 2 Kings 8:24; 2 Kings 10:35; 2 Kings 13:9; 2 Kings 13:13; 2 Kings 14:16; 2 Kings 14:22; 2 Kings 14:29; 2 Kings 15:7; 2 Kings 15:22; 2 Kings 15:38; 2 Kings 16:20; 2 Kings 20:21; 2 Kings 21:18; 2 Kings 24:6 etc.) they were down in Abraham’s Bosom sleeping. That is why after the crucifixion, there is a resurrection of Old Testament saints (see Matthew 27:52-53).
Abraham’s sin was not fully washed away because all he had was bulls and goats (Heb. 10:4-8, Heb. 9:9-13), Abraham was not part of the Body of Christ because Christ had not yet died on the cross and brought in the New Testament (Heb. 9:15-18), and Abraham’s justification didn’t take place until over 10 years later in (compare James 2:20-24 and Hebrews 11:17-19 and Genesis 15:6 and Genesis 22:7-12 with each other).
Genesis 6:8 Answered:
Genesis 6:8 (KJV) – “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
The non-dispensationalist error regarding this verse is wrongfully assuming that grace is the plan of salvation. Under the Age of Grace, salvation is by grace (Eph. 2:5) through faith (Eph. 2:8-9) without any works of righteousness (Rom. 11:6, 2 Tim. 1:8-9, Titus 3:5, Eph. 2:8-9). So under the New Testament Age of Grace, God’s grace is dispensed to you if you put your faith in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross for salvation.
Salvation is made available by God’s grace in every dispensation, but something being available doesn’t automatically mean it’s yours. If you go to a toy store and see a train set available for your kids, you just can’t take it and walk out, there is a condition, you have to pay money for that train set.
God’s grace crosses dispensational lines, but the way God dispenses his grace is not always the same. Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD because he and his family were the only righteous people (in conduct) in a world of evil and wickedness (Genesis 6:1-6 describes the widespread evil in the world at that time). However, the non-dispensationalist overlooks how Noah had God’s grace. God has grace for Noah because Noah was living holy and clean (Gen. 6:9) NOT because Noah was “looking forward to the cross.”
Genesis 4:26 Answered:
Genesis 4:26 (KJV) – “And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.”
Non-dispensationalists will try to compare Genesis 4:26 to Romans 10:13 to proclaim that people were calling upon the name of the Lord for salvation from sins back in the book of Genesis the same as people in the New Testament do for salvation.
Calling upon the name of the Lord is not always a reference to salvation from sin or eternal Hell/Lake of Fire.
David called upon the name of the Lord for help against his enemies:
Psalms 31:17 (KJV) – “Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.”
Psalms 17:4-6 (KJV) – “Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. (5) Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. (6) I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.”
Psalms 55:16-18 (KJV) – “As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. (17) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (18) He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.”
The calling upon the name of the Lord going on in Genesis 4:26 is not referring to calling upon the name of the Lord in the context of eternal salvation from Hell and sin.
Revelation 14:6 Answered:
Revelation 14:6 (KJV) – “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.”
This verse is totally isolated out of it’s context by the non-dispensationalist heretic. Non-dispensationalists will try and draw a comparison to Galatians 1:6-9 (which condemns those who would preach other gospels).
The “everlasting gospel” is defined in Revelation 14:7 (the very next verse, but non-dispensationalists seem to overlook or ignore verse 7).
Here is Revelation 14:6 IN CONTEXT!
Revelation 14:6-7 (KJV) – “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (7) Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
The “everlasting gospel” is NOT salvation by Jesus Christ (the gospel of Christ was a mystery that nobody prior to the beginning of the New Testament understood or knew about according to Ephesians 3:1-7, Colossians 1:24-27, 1 Corinthians 2:7-10, and Romans 16:25-26). The “everlasting gospel” is simply fearing God, giving glory to Him, and worshipping Him.
Fearing God, giving glory to Him, and worshipping Him is a gospel (good news) that crosses dispensational lines (hence why it’s called the “everlasting gospel” in Revelation 14:6).
Non-dispensationalist heretics rip Revelation 14:6 out of context and then try to redefine the everlasting gospel as being salvation through Jesus Christ (the gospel of Christ), which is the root of their error regarding Revelation 14:6.
