Prior to the late 1800s, no Christians—evangelical, catholic, or liberal—believed in Dispensationalism. Today, most evangelicals accept without question the tenets of Dispensationalism as exemplified in the Scofield Study Bible. This is not surprising as evangelicals have been blind to the doctrine of the Two Kingdoms and have no real understanding of the kingdom of God. But what is shocking is that so many kingdom Christians have heartily embraced this new doctrine. In this message, Bercot exposes Dispensationalism as a modern innovation that is contrary to the historic Christian faith. It is also at odds with specific New Testament teaching and the facts of modern history.

What the Early Christians Believed About The Father and the Son

From time to time, most of us have Jehovah’s Witnesses call at our doors. Perhaps you know how to box them into a corner and “win” an argument with them. But do you know of any JWs who have ever been helped by that? I doubt it. He or she remains a JW.

This CD takes an entirely different approach. It is specifically designed to give away to JWs who call at your door. But its purpose is not to win an argument. Its purpose is to help JWs come to a proper understanding of the divinity of Christ—even though they will probably remain JWs. As a former JW, I have seen that most JWs have no problem accepting the church’s historic teaching on Christ’s divinity—once it’s correctly explained to them in love. The CD comes with in-structions on how to present it to a JW. David Bercot

What the Early Christians Believed About The Lord’s Prayer. One day, Jesus’ disciples came to Him, asking, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” In response, Jesus gave His disciples a brief prayer, that has come to be known as the “Lord’s prayer.” Although this prayer comes from the highest authority possible, very few Christians ever pray this prayer (outside of the liturgical churches). In fact, very few Christians even use it as a model for their prayers.

But did Jesus really intend for His prayer to be ignored? In this message, Bercot discusses what the early church believed about the Lord’s prayer and how they used it. He also goes through each phrase of the prayer and explains what significance the early Christians saw in that phrase.

However, much of what Christians originally believed on this subject is quite different from what most Christians today believe. Yet, the original view is solidly based on Scripture. In this message, Bercot explains:

œ Exactly what the early Christians believed
œ The Scriptures that support the historic belief of the early Christians
œ Where their beliefs differed from what is popularly taught today
œ When and how the original view changed

What the Early Christians Believed About Separation from the World. D. Bercot. The Bible exhorts us: gAdulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.h So unless we want to be an enemy of God, we need to live a life of separation from the world. This is how Christians lived when the church was still young.

In this message, Bercot pinpoints five areas where the early Christians lived differently from the world around them:

œ Material riches and job employment
œ Entertainment
œ Participation in government
œ Modesty and dress
œ Purity and marital fidelity

D. Bercot. Most western Christians immediately recognize a picture of Jesus when they see one. His face is as familiar as that of Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. Or is it? Is it possible that the real Jesus looked nothing like the portraits of him that have become so commonplace? In this set of CDs, Bercot looks at the historical facts. No portraits or sculptures of Jesus were made in His lifetime. However, we do have paintings and sculptures of men who lived near or at the time of Jesus.

What do they tell us? What about the paintings of Jesus in the catacombs? In addition to discussing these historical sources, Bercot talks about the Shroud of Turin and whether or not it is likely to be the genuine burial cloth of Jesus.
