Dispensationalism Disagrees With Several New Testament Scriptures

Dispensationalism Disagrees With Several New Testament Scriptures
Bernard Pyron
   
The founders of dispenationalism start from the postulate  that God has two elect peoples with two different programs.

"Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne so that in eternity, '...never the twain, Israel and church, shall meet." Lewis S. Chafer, Systematic Theology (Dallas, Dallas Seminary Press, 1975), Vol. 4. pp. 315-323..

Lewis S. Chafer said that dispensationalism has "...changed the Bible from being a mass of more or less conflicting
writings into a classified and easily assimilated revelation of both
the earthly and heavenly purposes of God, which reach on into eternity
to come.." Lewis. S. Chafer, ‘Dispensationalism,’ Bibliotheca Sacra, 93 (October 1936), 410, 416, 446-447

Chafer, a founder of Christian Zionism, or dispensationalism ,following John Darby and C.I. Scofield, claimed the Bible is a mass or more or less conflicting writings and that dispensationalism makes the Bible more easily classified and assimilated, or more easily understood.

In his book, Dispensationalism (1966), Charles Ryrie says "The
essence of Dispensationalism, then, is the distinction between Israel
and the church." (page 3, "Dispensationalism")

J. Dwight Pentecost is another dispensationalist theologian who in his
book Things To Come ( 1965) says "The church
and Israel are two distinct groups with whom God has a divine plan.
The church is a mystery, unrevealed in the Old Testament. (page 193,
J. Dwight Pentecost, Things To Come, Zondervan, 1965)

Quoting many New Testament scriptures which disagree with the doctrines of dispensationalism tends to show  show  that dispensationalism is another Gospel (II Corinthians 11: 4, Galatians 1: 6).

"For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." I Corinthians 11: 19

A heresiarchical doctrine or series of doctrines would be seen as the anti-thesis in the Hegelian dialectic which opposes the thesis of New Testament teaching.

Timothy 6: 20-21 says in the Tyndale New Testament, "O Timothy save that
which is given ye to keep and avoid ungodly vanities of voices and
oppositions of science falsely so called
21 which science while some professed they have erred as concerning the
faith. Grace be with the Amen."

Tyndale translates γνωσεως, or gnosis, as science, but it should be
translated as knowledge.

The key part in Greek says "και αντιθεσεις της ψευδωνυμου γνωσεως,or "and
anti-thesis of falsely called knowledge."

αντιθεσεις, or anti-thesis, is a technical term in the early Greek
philosophy of the διαλεκτική, or dialectic, before the time of Christ.

In the dialectic, there is a direct opposition between the thesis and the
anti-thesis.

Here are a number of New Testament scriptures that can be looked at to see to what extent they disagree with the doctrines of dispensationalism: : John 10: 16, Romans 12: 4-5, Ephesians 4: 4, Romans 10: 12, Galatians 3: 28, Romans 2: 28-29, Romans 9: 6-8, I Corinthians 10: 18, Romans 11: 17-20, II Corinthians 3: 6-11, Hebrews 10: 9, and Hebrews 8: 13, and Galatians 3: 3, 14-17, 27-29,,

John 10: 16, Romans 12: 4-5 and Ephesians 4: 4 deal with the doctrine that God has one group of his elect, not two groups as dispensationalism postulates. Romans 10: 12 and Galatians 3: 28 focus on the doctrine that there is a unity of all who are in faith, regardless of their genetics, that is, that there is a unity between believing Gentiles and believing Jews. This contradicts dispensationalim's postulate that God has two separate peoples Old Covenant Israel and the Church. Romans 2: 28-29 is a little more subtle, but these two verses imply that there is a transformation for Jews who come to faith in Christ, and for them things of the flesh, are no longer important but things of the Spirit are important. This is not in line with the dispensationalist system, which apparently continues to honor the physical bloodline from Abraham.

Romans 9: 6-8 says that not all of those of the physical bloodline are the children of God, that is of the elect, and that the children only of the flesh, that is of the bloodline, are not the children of God. Then I Corinthians 10: 18 affirms again that there is a group under the Old Covenant who are of the Bloodline but are not God's children.

Romans 11: 17-20 says that those of the physical Bloodline who were in unbelief are cut off, contradicting in general the dispensatgionalist attempt to say that all of he Bloodline are of the elect.

II Corinthians 3: 6-11, Hebrews 10: 9, and Hebrews 8: 13 all say that the Old Covenant was done away with, disagreeing with a fundamental assumption of dispensationalism, that the Old Covenant continues with its Old Covenant people, along with the Church/

Galatians 3: 3, 16-17, 27-29 say that God decides who is saved by faith and not by that which is physical, Paul says in Galatians 3: 14 'That the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. " "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither there is neither male nor female : for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

My Scots-Irish Blackburn Ancestors

My Scots-Irish Blackburn Ancestors
Bernard Pyron

See: https://www.houseofnames.com/blackburn-family-crest
"Further to the north in Scotland, the name was derived from "one or other of several small places so named. Willelmus de Blakeburne was witness in 1243 to the ratification of the gift of the church of Lescelyn to Lundors. Robert de Blakeburne of Berwickshire rendered homage in 1296 [to King Edward I of England]. William de Blakburne appears as Abbot of Cambuskenneth, 1394." 

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blackburn-759
"Benj. Blackburn, Date: 23 Oct 1765 Location: Augusta Co., VA Property: 79 acres. Notes: This land record was originally published in "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800. Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County" by Lyman Chalkley. Remarks: 131. Delivered to Robert Steel, 15 Mar 1813, by order of John Wier. Description: Witness Book: 12-485 Source Information Chalkley, Lyman. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800."
Lets look at my grandmother Virginia Blackburn's grandfather, Edward Blackburn,1773-1847.
http://joepayne.org/aol/black.htm

"Robert BLACKBURN, was born in 1742 in Winchester, Virginia. " "He also married on May 9, 1843, Sophia GRAVES."
Among the children of Robert Blackburn and Sophia Graves Blackburn is listed "Edward BLACKBURN... was born May 29, 1775 in Augusta, Va, and on Sep 29, 1803 in Davidson Co., Tennessee, married Martha KEARNEY. Edward died on May 18, 1847 in same."

In 1775 my Blackburns were living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and moved to Davidson County, Tennessee in 1803. Edward Blackburn married Martha Kearney in Tennessee, and their children included Gideon Blackburn and John L.D. Blackburn, both of whom went to Texas.

Virginia Blackburn Pyron, 1856-1943, is the daughter of Gideon Blake Blackburn, 1817-1881, who became a citizen of the Republic of Texas between 1836 and 1846. According to http://www.lavacacountyhistory.org/biographies5.htm Gideon Blackburn,"... a native of Tennessee, Mr. Blackburn came to Texas about 1840 or '41, and located on the Mustang Creek, now in Lavaca County. "
Look at the site,https://www.ancestry.com/gen…/records/martha-carney_45865873

https://www.ancestry.com/genea…/records/naomi-knox_124659915
This site is about Martha Carney Blackburn, 1783-1871, mother of Gideon Blake Blackburn and grandmother of my Pyron grandmother, Virginia Blackburn Pyron.
On this Martha Carney site are listed Edward Blackburn, 1773-1847. husband of Martha Carney and their children, including Gideon Blake Blackburn. The dates of great-grandfather Gideon Blackburn are listed at:
https://www.findagrave.com/…/53358672/gideon-blake-blackburn as being 1817 to 1881.

The wife of Gideon Blake Blackburn and mother of Virginia Blackburn, my grandmother, is listed as Mary Ann Duffner Blackburn, 1826-1906, who was a German Catholic and a recent immigrant to this country at that time.
On the Martha Carney site, her mother is said to be Naoma Knox, but no information is given there about this Naomi Knox.

https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/knox/1013/
"Naomi Knox b.abt 1750 m. John Carney By Fred Lindeman April 22, 2000 at 02:07:36 Seeking information on ancestors of Naomi Knox b. abt 1750 NC m. John Carney abt 1770 children Elijah,Vincent,William, Martha, Lucy."

"Martha Carney, Edward Blackburn By Lavinia Bell March 20, 2001 at 08:03:09 I am the great,great.great granddaughter of Edward Blackburn and Martha Carney, they were married September 29, 1803. Edward Blackburn(brother of Rev. Gideon Blackburn) was born May 29, 1775 in Virginia died May 18, 1847 in Maury County,Tennessee

Martha Carney born April 4, 1783 in Davidson County, Tennessee, died in Lavaca County, Texas. I believe my great, great, great grandmother parents were John Carney and Naomi Knox, and related to President James Knox Polk. I would like to hear from my cousins and anyone researching this family
Sincerely, Lavinia Bell"

That the Naomi Knox who is the mother of Martha Carney is also the sister of Jane Gracy Knox Polk born in Iredell county, N.C in 1776 is a possibility, but not clearly shown by evidence I have seen. Jane Gracy is the mother of President James Knox Polk. She married Samuel Polk in Mecklenburg county, N.C. in 1794. Her father on the site - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6659665/jane-gracy-polk - is listed as James Knox, 1752-1794, and one of their children is James Knox Polk, 1795-1849, another Scots-Irish President following Andrew Jackson.

Then, on the site, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8582171/james-knox
Only one child of Captain James Knox, born in 1752 in Mecklenburg county, N.C. is listed - Jane Gracy Knox Polk 1776-1852. The mother of Jane Gracy Knox Polk is listed here as being Jean Sinclair Gracy Knox, 1708-1772.

Yet the Naomi Knox who is the mother of Martha Carney if not the aunt of President James Knox Polk, may be connected to a Mecklenburg county, N. C. Scots-Irish family and possibly a descendant or relative of John Knox, the Scottish Protestant Reformer.

Virginia Blackburn Pyron, 1856-1943.  my Pyron grandmother,  was the daughter of Gideon Blake Blackburn, 1817-1881, who became a citizen of the Republic of Texas between 1836 and 1846. According to http://www.lavacacountyhistory.org/biographies5.htm Gideon Blackburn,"... a native of Tennessee, Mr. Blackburn came to Texas about 1840 or '41, and located on the Mustang Creek, now in Lavaca County."

See: http://www.drtinfo.org/ancestors-b
"Blackburn, Gideon 05-02-1817 Williamson Co., TX 12-23-1881 LaVaca Co., TX Dufner, Mary Ann"

This is from: The Daughters of the Republic of Texas list of ancestors who were citizens of the Republic of Texas. Great grandfather Gideon B. Blackburn was born in 1817 - in Tennessee, not in Texas - and died in 1881. He lived in Lavaca county, Texas during the time of the Republic and his wife's name was Mary Ann Dufner.  Yes, Mary Ann Dufner was German and Gideon B. Blackburn was Scots-Irish and originally a Presbyterian.

Grandmother Virginia Pyron's uncle, John L.D. Blackburn is also listed in the Daughters of the Republic of Texas list of ancestors in the Republic. Great-great uncle John L.D. Blackburn was in the Texas Army and was in the Mier Expedition. On December 23, 1842 about 300 members of the Texas Army invaded  and occupied the town of Mier in Mexico. The Texans ran out of supplies and surrendered to a superior force of Mexicans. They were put in prison, but they escaped from the Salado prison on February 11, 1843. All but four of them were recaptured by the Mexicans. Who were the Texans who made it back to Texas?

See: https://books.google.com/books…

Savage Frontier, 1842-1845, by Stephen L. Moore

After the escape of the Texans from the prison at Salado, "Mexican forces pursued and captured most of the Texans during the next two weeks. John Alaxander and Major William Oldham survived a perilous journey through the mountains and across the Rio Grande, arriving in San Antonio in Mid-April. Only two other Texans from this escape party were known to have made it back home alive, Thomas W. Cox and John L.D. Blackburn."

THE MINT HILL< NORTH CAROLINA PYRONS

A.M. Pyron in About 1886

THE MINT HILL  NORTH CAROLINA PYRONS

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/…/the-scots-irish-as-in…/…
"The Scots-Irish were a major part of this cultural evolution, being as they were generally part of the broad non-slave holding class in the South and Border States. "
There are reasons to suspect that William Calvin Pyron. Revolutionary War Veteran, 1757-1850, who lived in the Mint Hill area of North Carolina, with his son and grand son had traits characteristic of the Scots-Irish. Some of them were Presbyterians, they lived among the Scots-Irish and intermarried with at least one family with a Scots-Irish name, Carlock. Some of the children of William C.Pyron born maybe 1770, son of William C. Pyron, 1757-1850, and Nancy Crowell:are"
Andrew Jackson "Jack" Pyron 1814 - My Great-grandfather -
Matilda Pyron 1815 -
Thomas Russell Pyron 1821 -
.John Calvin Pyron 1824 -
.Andrew Jackson, John Calvin and Martilda and her husband
Camilius Carlock, all went west, while Thomas Russell Pyron stayed in North
Carolina. I found Uncle Thomas through his Presbyterian church in the
Mint Hill area east of Charlotte. He lived to be old, and held what
his church called the Bains Cain, as the oldest member of the
congregation.
See:https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.pyron/87/mb.ashx . Message board which says "... a John Calvin PYRON (b. 1824) marrying a Mary Isabella CARLOCK:"
When Andrew Jackson Pyron and his wife both died of an infectious disease in Louisiana in about 1859. great-grandfafther Andrew Jackson Pyron's brother put the two youngest children, Annie and Angela in an orphanage in New Orleans and took my grandfather Aurelius Milton, born 1846, and his older sister Eugenia.to live with him and his family near Hamburg, Arkansas. I am not sure where Aunt Matilda and her husband Camilius Carlock lived in Arkansas, but maybe also in that southeast corner of the state. The Mary Isabella Carlock that John Calvin Pyron married may have been the sister of Camilis Carlock who married Aunt Matilda Pyron.
There may be descendants of Matilda Pyron Carlock in Arkansas. Matilda was my grandfather's aunt, and would be my great-great aunt.
Andrew Jackson Pyron, born about 1814 and died about 1859, married Sarah C Simmons and their children are:
Eugenia H Pyron
Aurelius Milton Pyron. 1846-1932
Angeline Zuelma Pyron, . 1853-1950
Annie Pyron, Born 1850
Jennie Pyron - I don;t know where this fifth child's name is recorded or if she even existed.
My older sister Mary Pyron Bush "Found some records on our great-grandfather Andrew J. Pyron
from a business partnership between Andrew J. Pyron and John Mitchell
in Berwick City, Louisiana. Mary says that between the 1850 census
and 1857 the date of the Mitchell Company mercantile business
records, Andrew and Sarah had two more daughters, Annie and Angie."
Mary also says " We know that Andrew Jackson and his wife Sarah both died in an
epidemic that passed through Berwick, Louisiana in about 1859, leaving
their four children orphans. A letter ,
by William A. Pyron, son of John Calvin Pyron, grandfather's uncle,
confirms that grandfather was taken to live with Uncle John Calvin and
his family in Arkansas. The letter from William A. Pyron also
mentions that grandfather left for Texas with his sister, one sister
and not three. "
I have seen evidence that Great Aunt Annie married in Lavaca county, Texas, indicating that she was united at some time in the Sweet Home area of Lavaca county with grandfather and her older sister Eugenia, and probably Angeline was also united with them. Because they were probably poor all four of them may have lived together in Lavaca county, Texas at one time. Aunt Annie married the first cousin of the famous Texas rodeo cowboy Clay McGonnagill of Sweet Home in Lavaca county, Texas. Information dug up from www.ancestry. com shows that great aunt Annie Pyron married William Washington McGonagill in Lavaca county, Texas in 1870. They later moved to the northern part of the Texas hill county. She is buried in McCulloch county.
On the U.S. Census reports for the three Pyron families in the Mint Hill area of North Carolina in the years before right 1865 no slaves are listed. Although slaves were not listed by name on the Census. slaves were listed.



William A. Pyron or William Alonza Pyron, who wrote to grandfather after he and his sister west to Teas, was a son of John Calvin Pyron who lived near Hamburg, Arkansas. Grandfather lived with them from about age 13 till he was in the army and for a short time later before he and his sister went to Texas.

I did not know he lived so long. Grandfather's uncle
Thomas Russell Pyron also lived a long time, maybe to 90 or more.

Pyron is not a Scots-Irish name. It is French in origin but some Pyrons, apparently who went to England or Northern Ireland from France were French Huguenots, or Protestants.
