"If ye have heard of the Dispensation of the grace of God which IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD.." Eph. 3:2,3,5,6,9.
"...A Dispensation of the Gospel is committed unto me." 1 Cor. 9:17.
"Wherefore I am made a minister, according to the Dispensation of God which is given me for you, to fulfill the word of God." Col. 1:25.
"That in the Dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ..." Eph. 1:10.
As you can clearly see, Paul wrote of dispensations. You can deny it, but it doesn't change that fact.
If you would study your Bible, you would not be embarrassing yourself by claiming I came up with it. Jesus Christ came up with it. And revealed it to Paul. Who revealed it to the Church the Body of Christ.
Yes, of course, Dispensationalism® was born when St. Paul said “dispensation.”
Meaning of course, “Forget about all that Kingdom of God stuff Jesus said, it no longer applies.”
Makes so much sense that it’s odd that it took nineteenth-century evangelicals and the Brethren Movement to rediscover it.
Amazing.
And then you got the very same theology all on your own reading scripture. No other ‘tradition’ – nineteenth-century evangelical, Brethren Movement or otherwise – needed.
Incredible.
