Fortunately, no meds. Plan to keep it that way, Lord willing

So which of those specific dispensations, if any, do you live in,,,??

I'd never heard of dispensations as applied to O.T. Times: the only lessons I had on it made the greatest distinction between "Biblical times" (when miracles happened) and everything else. The rest of Church history went about like this:

(we don't talk about the next 1300 years or so). Well, the Dark Ages or something. The Catholic Church's fault, even if they *did* build Cathedrals.

(The Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment all on top of each other)

('Murica! And Protestants and Great Awakening!)

(Israel becomes a nation...batten down the hatches and hope to get Raptured out before it gets really bad. Read your Hal Lindsey!)

...and that was from people who said Catholics were ignorant and easily led.
