You see, today you have these dispensational Baptists who will ardently fight against the NIV.
They'll take a stand against the ESV and these modern perversions of the Bible,
yet their foundation for eschatology and their foundation for their view on Israel
stems from a man who wrote a Bible that reads just like these modern versions.
No, that's your golden calf that you need to melt and be poured down your throat.
And really, I think so far overreached itself that it just chopped up the Bible and lost a sense of the unity.
What resulted from Darby's departure was a new way of viewing the church
and history that still pervades much of evangelical Christian thought today.
It is positively stated in 2 Timothy chapter 3 that the church would fail and become as bad as the heathens.
That's what he said.
So he sees himself as some church savior.
You see, if you're claiming to bring in a new way,
you're basically stating that you're doing something that's never been done before.
So this argument by Gene Kim that states that during the Dark Ages, no one had the Word of God,
and in the 1800s, John Nelson Darby came on the scene
and began to reinforce something that was taught before is a fallacy.
Why? Because John Nelson Darby specifically said, I'm bringing in a new way.
So you say, what do we need to know about John Nelson Darby?
Here's what we need to know about John Nelson Darby, the father of dispensationalism.
The man who invented dispensationalism was not even saved!
