I see that you are using the expression "unique periods of time." You did not directly answer my question as to what you would call them, but this will suffice. We shall refer to them as "unique periods of time (UPT)."
Now, in the Eden UPT was there anything AT ALL different in the relationship between God and mankind than now entails?
Also, I have already pointed out to you that when all of Schofield's writings are put together, according to Ryrie, Schofield clearly believed that salvation has always been by grace through faith. Paul clearly says, "Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Now, do you believe that Wilbur and Orville Wright are the last words on the aerodynamics of airplanes because they were among the 1st to write about the "practics" of it?
Excellent.
Thx.
I believe you said you’ve never read anything by Scofield before. Yet you seem to accept that “Scofield clearly believed that salvation has always been by grace through faith.”
BTW, faith in what? If it’s faith in Christ, then we have no disagreement.
I suggest you re-read the note from Scofield himself and then google “dispensationalism” and “historic premillennialism” and see for yourself the very significant differences between them. You can find them on Web sites such as Theopedia.
While you’re looking them up, see for yourself when (and by whom) dispensationalism began.
