Rapture Fever

dispensational paradigm. So are the se~-conscious evasions by the
few remaining academic theologians who are willing to defend
traditional dispensationalism in print. These theologians have
rarely been six-day creationists, especially those who have
taught at Dallas Theological Seminary which, following Scofield’s
notes, has never made the six-day creation a test of orthodoxy.
(Scofield was a “gap” theologian: an indeterminate
gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. See Chapter 9.) Here
are just a few of the questions that demand answers but which
receive no responses in print from dispensationalists.
● Is evolution the religious faith which undergirds every humanist
institution in today’s world?
● Does the Bible teach evolution or creation?
● Should biblical creationism also have comparable effects in
every human institution?
● What are these creationist alternatives to evolutionism in social
thought?
● Where do we find information about them?
● Have dispensational creationists ever discussed these creationist
social alternatives in detail?
● Is humanism religiously neutral?
● Is humanism morally neutral?
● Are the public schools religiously neutral?
● If they aren’t, where do we find dispensational schools and
especially colleges that provide comprehensive alternatives to
humanism in every classroom?
● Is intellectual neutrality a myth?
● If intellectual neutrality is a myth, does the Bible provide realworld
intellectual alternatives?
● Is sin comprehensive, affecting everything in history?
● Are all men completely responsible to God for every sin they
commit?
c Is the gospel as comprehensive as sin?
● Is the healing power of the gospel as comprehensive as sin?
