What word would you use to describe “unique period of time?”

epoch.

Next question?

(I've been pinged on this thread, so I guess I need to plough through it.)

Yeah right??? Only if you live in Hollywood. What about the word "age" found throughout the NT as in Hebrews 11:3:

"The ages were framed by the word of God"

The "ages" fits the definition of "dispensations" to the dismay of those who scoff at dispensationalists.

So, the word you've chosen is "epoch." Uncle Chip likes the word "age."

Does the bible show anything AT ALL different in the relationship between God and mankind in the "Eden Epoch" than now is the case?

Does the bible show anything AT ALL different in God's administering that "Eden Epoch" than now is the case?

You know, this attempt at artifically carving up history into 7 dispensations is irrelevant....

The sacramental tokens of grace began IN Eden. The age of grace began IN Eden. The covenant of grace (between the Father and the Son), instituted BEFORE time began, began to manifest itself IN Eden. The prophecy of redemption in grace for all mankind was first spoken to man IN Eden. The church began IN Eden.

Dispensationalism is a fairy tale. God has always dealt with mankind’s redemption by grace and NEVER by the Law.
