Oh, really now. You don’t think that Jesus Christ understood dispensations and rightly dividing God’s word of truth?
Perhaps you can be so kind as to give us any example in Scripture that supports your idea that "Jesus Christ understood Dispensations".
Is it in the Parables of the Tares and the Wheat? (Mt 13:24-30)?
Let me guess, in your Bible it reads:
"Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 'First lets secretly go gather the wheat to the barn for seven years and then during that time infect the fields with droughts, plagues, locusts, earthquakes, fires and floods, then lets return and scatter the wheat among what is left of the scorched earth and weakened tares for a thousand years, then regather all of the wheat, set fire to the tares and then go back to the barn.'
Maybe it was during the Olivet Discourse (Mt 24:37-) where our LORD compared the times to the time of antediluvian Noah? Um, no. He didn't say that they were in the age of Conscience did He? Or was that the Patriarchal Age as the Four Dispensational Scheme theologians teach it? No, maybe our LORD sided with the Three Dispensational Theologians and called Noah's Day the Age of "Law". You guys can't even agree on it being eight, seven, four or three Ages yet you claim Jesus taught it?
Do you know how it reads in Genesis 6:8? It says "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.Sounds like an Age of Grace that goes back to the Garden and is strongly supported in Hebrews 11.
I have a better idea, lets see what our LORD really said regarding the number of Ages.
Matt 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Or how about a direct quote from the aforementioned (and legitimate version) of the Parable of the Wheat and Tares?
"...so it will be at the end of this age"
I don't see our LORD recognizing either a Mosaic, Ecclesial or Zionic age here.
Luke 18:30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."
What seems strange is that our LORD only speaks of the Present Age and the Age to Come. Two ages.
Now I have actually provided the Words of our LORD where He recognizes only two ages - now its your job to contradict those facts.
Are you up to it?
Does he now?
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying Lord, wilt thou AT THIS TIME restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the TIMES (plural) or the SEASONS (plural), which the Father hath put in his own power." Acts 1:6-7.
Read Eph. Chapter 2. There is a "Time Past", a "But Now" and an "Ages(PLURAL) to Come". That is at LEAST three times and seasons.
The word "dispensation" is used 4 times in the NT; (1 Cor. 9:17; Eph. 1:10;, 3:2; Col.1:25). The word "dispensation" means an administration, a stewardship, dispensation, or guardianship. But of course you know this. I find it amusing that a religious organization that DEMANDS the word "dispensation" be stated PLAINLY when it is meant, at the same time teaches and believes that the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the bodily assumption of Mary, the Eucharist, apostolic succession, Peter being the first pope, etc. are somehow biblical, even though they are NEVER MENTIONED in God's Word. But I digress...
When did "Time Past" end so that "But Now" could begin? And when will "But Now" end so that the next "Age" could begin? Remember the "Ages to Come" that Paul spoke of is plural, meaning more than one.
When Christ spoke of "this present time", when did that begin, and when did it end for the "age to come" that He was referring to?
Let's get this far, and then I will show you where Christ ACTUALLY knew of dispensations and times and seasons, and rightly divided the Scriptures to prove it.
