Rightly Dividing Hebrews part 1

Hi, I’m Ray Melograne and this is another Real Life video.  In this video, we are going to attempt to rightly divide the book of Hebrews.  As I have mentioned before, I believe in the principals of dispensationalism, but I also believe that those principals are taken too far by many King James Bible Believers.  One example of this is the classification of a book of the Bible to be not dispensational for us based on poor contextual evidence.  In these cases, the main evidence is usually the fact that the book was written to the Jews, and that it contains information that does not line up with a doctrine the classifying individual holds to be true.  This, however, is a backward formula for classifying a book dispensationally.  One cannot classify scripture based on presumed doctrine.  The individual then runs the risk of validating false doctrine by twisting scripture.  Instead, a thorough study of the book’s context should be conducted, comparing it to other portions of scripture. 

I will again be quoting from Dr. Douglas D. Stauffer’s book, One Book Rightly Divided while presenting my case.  In this video, I will be examining what Dr. Stauffer believes about the book of Hebrews and how it should be categorized dispensationally.  In this part 1, we will be focusing on the topic of who the book was written to, and who wrote it.  There is a large debate over whether or not Paul wrote the book of Hebrews.  We will examine the evidence Dr. Stauffer presents against Paul’s authorship and other evidence that supports his authorship.  Please join me in this important dispensational study.
