A key element to dispensational theology is the commitment it
has to a consistent literal grammatical-historical hermeneutic. There are times that teaching error is not
directly related to our grammatical and theological understanding of the text. Often times the error comes from the “application.” At times a well meaning preacher/teacher may
miss or misuse the point of the text to make a clear pass to apply a
principal. As dispensationalists we have
to be committed to teaching the principal from the text accurately all the
time. This article describes some of the
potential pitfalls of “application” or for others just being sloppy in handling
the text and in how they represent God.
May the Lord bless you as you read this article and challenge you (and
me) to handle the word of God carefully.
