J.N. Darby the Father of Dispensationalism…or Maybe There Is More to the Story—With Crawford Gribben

I miss "The Briefing." I would listen every day on my way home from work. I can't wait for its return.

Excellent interview. I learned a lot. Many thanks, gentlemen.

I would appreciate an invitation to prove why john datrby is wrong. What and why he did ir. Jerome's misinterpretation. Please. Invite me as a guest.

Dr. Mohler, what an interview!!!!! Very grateful for both of you!!!

I couldn't find any further information on the pamphlet your guest said was written by William Kelly as to knowing w here the ides of the Rapture came from. Can you provide any clarification? Thank you.

What a fascinating discussion. In Australia we have quite a strong Plymouth Brethren presence. Darby was surely quite a substantial figure indeed.

Had the privilege of meeting Crawford on several occasions here in Ireland. A gentleman and a scholar!

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

I am looking forward to reading Crawford Gribben's book! Thank you so much for bringing this subject up for discussion!

Enjoyable video.

I think I like this form better than the conservative news talk.

Alguien lo puede traducir al español.

wow, I listened for a couple minutes and discerned words to no avail, just wow

Thanks for the interview very enjoyable.

Attended an open Brethren assembly for 8 years. I still have a Ryrie study Bible and William MacDonald Believers Commentary. One of the Elders was from DTS. Assembly split over Lordship Salvation controversy between MacArthur and Zane Hodges. Attended non denominational Evangelical afterwards. Didn’t get caught up in Scofield dispensationalism. This video conversation was very informative. I have found strong Biblical teaching from those who are Calvinist and those who are non Calvinist. Have read creeds and confessions from Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and Lutheran camps. A lot in common, difference remains on mode of baptism and the Lords Supper. One thing they all have in common is…..they are considered outside the RCC and Eastern Orthodox Church. Early Church History…..pretty messy.

Haddon Spurgeon, Pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle and contemporary of Darby, published criticism of Darby and Brethrenism.[20] His main criticism was that Darby and the Plymouth Brethren rejected the vicarious purpose of Christ's obedience as well as imputed righteousness. He viewed these of such importance and so central to the Gospel that it led him to publish this statement about the rest of their belief in the Sword and Trowel.[21] James Grant wrote: "With the deadly heresies entertained and taught by the Plymouth Brethren, in relation to some of the most momentous of all the doctrines of the Gospel, and to which I have adverted at some length, I feel assured that my readers will not be surprised at any other views, however unscriptural and pernicious they may be, which the Darbyites have embraced and zealously seek to propagate"[22

Fascinating interview and great content.

Magisterial exposition on Darby and his times.

Messiah College has Plymouth. BRETHEREN roots. What if any connection does this group have with the Nazarene Church?

I have had the privilege of getting to know many Darbyite believers in France and Switzerland. Their assemblies are federally organised, and are probably equivalent to the exclusive Brethren in the UK. Nevertheless, they are delightful, extremely hospitable people, in the case of every single one that I met. They are humble, Christ-centred believers who love their children whether the latter continue in the faith or not. Not the slightest hint of exclusivism in terms of the way they personally relate to other believers, even though they do not participate in evangelism or community projects with other evangelical churches. In view of the welcome I always received into their churches and their homes, I do not hold that against them. I strongly disagree with their eschatology, but I have always found them to be open to talking about it and respectful towards those who disagree.
