Sadly, I don't. I have to search. It is OK that you don't believe in dispensations. They happen anyway. I have no problem with searching for a verse. It's when you treat the scriptures flippantly that I have a problem, like you did here: It's obvious that you just searched for "dispensation" and posted the results simply because they matched the term. Those verses have no correlation to the point you were trying to make. That would have been a warning flag to you if you would have at least taken the time to look up the meaning of the word translated "dispensation". How can you be taken seriously with practices like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps to keep people from just making stuff up. The verses you quoted in no way support the idea of a "church age". The word translated "dispensation" is a stewardship term. In no sense of the word does it refer to a span of time. Its like you didn't even try. Care to try again? Or can we just agree that "church age" isn't biblical. Sorry, but in fact many English translations use the word Dispensation. Why? Because Paul was DISPENSING or giving out His gospel of grace. In fact, we are still in Paul's gospel of grace. When God gave up on Israel and allowed blindness to come on them while turning to the Gentiles, that began the dispensation of Grace. Did TIME exist when God turned to the Gentiles? You know it did. TIME still exists. And we are still under Paul's gospel. We will be judged by Paul's gospel. Would you rather call it "Paul's age?" "The Gospel age?" It really does not matter what our time is called, scripture tells us it is the time of the Gentiles. Roman's 11:11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. Matthew 21:41 "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they declared, "and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his fruits in their seasons." Who are the "other" tenants? They are the Gentile church of which we are a part. Acts 28:28 Be advised, therefore, that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!" Are we under the same dispensation as Paul? Is the church still dispensing the same gospel? Berean Literal Bible on that day when God will judge the secrets of men according to my gospel, by Christ Jesus (Rom 2:16) I conclude that the dispensation that Paul dispensed, HIS GOSPEL is still being dispensed today. But the day will come when the fullness of the Gentiles will have come in, and then God will remove His church to a safe place and bring the 70th week to Israel. You, on the other hand, seem to imagine we are today still under the gospel of the kingdom that was preached to the Jews, rather than Paul's gospel that was preached to the Gentiles.

Really, "dispensation" is a good word for the change. The root word is "dispense" meaning to give out. At Mt Sinai, the law was dispensed. Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Only in so far as adding priesthood. The law existed well before Mt sinai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
