The Value Of Teaching The Biblical Judgment Day
Dispensationalists do not believe in, or teach, the old Bible doctrine of a
general resurrection of the dead, and a last great universal Judgment Day. This
departure from biblical truth has greatly reduced the church's ability to
influence the moral consciousness of the present generation toward
righteousness.
Failure to preach the universal Judgment Day is also in keeping with the
antinomian proclivities that adhere to the overall impact of involvement in the
Darbyite system. Antinomianism is enshrined in the structure of all its dogmas.
The result of embracing those false teachings is moral apostasy in Christian
churches.
That is exactly why the modern church has generally forsaken the time-honored
biblical standards of life-style holiness, and is near universally secular and
worldly in its apprehension of the religion called New Testament Christianity.
How different from the historic Christian church of prophets and martyrs, who confronted their generations with the honesty of judgment day truth, not kingdom postponement and flesh-pampering escapism.
