Therein lays the heart of the problem most people have with understanding scripture. Those who deny the different dispensations or ways God managed His dealings with man will never understand scripture as we have seen in these threads. It takes some incredible mental gymnastics and outright denial of some scriptures to try to explain many portions of scripture regardless of what type of theology they attempt.

Paul said we are in a dispensation of grace.

Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

He said we are now made righteous without the law.

Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

There is no way to understand what that “dispensation of grace” is in relation to the statement by Jesus that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law without understanding that once the fullness of the Gentiles has come in God will once again deal with Israel under the law until they accept Jesus as their Messiah at the end of the tribulation period.

Much scripture is impossible to explain without dispensational discernment...That's why these guys like to stick with the Gospels, parts of Acts, James, Hebrews, etc. and avoid like the plague the Pauline epistles...They can not reconcile all those scriptures without assigning them to metaphors and metaphors of what, they'll never know...
