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.
Uh Huh...
And little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating a cherry pie...
Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plumb and said,
What's a plumb doing in a cherry pie...
But your's was funnier than mine...
