Also you throwing the word “dispensationalist” around like it is some kind of insult is pretty funny.
The apostle Paul literally describes different stewardships in God’s plan.
Ephesians 3:2 (Amplified Bible) “Assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was entrusted to me for your benefit.”
The Greek word there is οἰκονομία (oikonomia) meaning administration or stewardship. That is exactly where the concept of dispensations comes from.
So if recognizing that God works through different administrations in history makes someone a dispensationalist, then congratulations. You just accused Paul of being one too.
Okay, you’re done.
Correct! I don't believe in seven Biblical dispensations, because I point out to dispensationalists that Paul only mentions two, that of God's grace, and that of fulness of times. I think these are the same as what Jesus calls the present and coming ages. However, in the last century dispensationalists have done hard yeoman's work in rehabilitating their theories to make them a competitive eschatology and many don't recognize that.
