Dispensationalism is simply a theological framework that sees God's redemptive plan unfolding in distinct periods or "dispensations." While the formal system we know today was developed in the 19th century, some of its core ideas actually have roots in early Christian thought.
The doctrine he adheres to was introduced to Chrisitians with the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible.
The early church recognized different periods in God's plan. For example, they distinguished between the Mosaic Law and the New Covenant through Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13). Paul also spoke of "times" and "epochs" in God's plan (Acts 17:30, Ephesians 1:10), which hints at the dispensational view of different phases in redemptive history.
Early church fathers like Justin Martyr and Irenaeus expected a future, literal reign of Christ on earth. This premillennial view is a key part of dispensational eschatology.
In the first century, the church wrestled with the relationship between Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul addressed this issue often, maintaining distinct roles for Israel and the Church while affirming their unity in Christ (Romans 11, Ephesians 2:11-22). This aligns with dispensationalism's idea of distinct but interconnected roles for Israel and the Church.
This "Christian" reference Bible was bankrolled by a group of NY Jews.
This assertion is highly speculative and lacks credible historical evidence.
While dispensationalism as a formal system was popularized by the Scofield Study Bible in the 20th century, the basic concepts have been around since the early church. It's fascinating to see how early Christians already had an understanding of God's distinct phases in His redemptive plan, even if they didn't use the term "dispensationalism."
There is no "Jewish conspiracy" around the Scofield study Bible as you are insinuating.
