Who's this "us" you speak of?

Us meant those on the thread. I was curious to see what other non–Catholic's response would be to the Dispensationalism you have been taught and teach: The religion started aroudn 63 A.D. consisting of Paul's gospel which you believe is different than Christ's ministry.

My post was at the time one seemed to support you and I asked her if she really did believe in the Dispensationalist teaching. I haven't seen a reply.

Your theology is comically absurd to me as I've posted before for the reasons i posted before. Your effort is wasted on me unless you desire more pointing to the absurdity if I wish to reply at all.

So: the us was others on the thread, particularly non Catholics. i asked you to try to convert them and see what their reaction was.

Not convert to your already shared anti – Catholicism, but to your whole dispense–with–Christ’s–ministry–and–Kingdom–of–Heaven teaching thing.

If by *dispensation* you mean the new covenant that Jesus instituted at the Last Supper, yeah, I believe it.

Under the new covenant of Jesus’ blood, God can deal with us as He wants to, with forgiveness and mercy. His blood was shed for a once and for all sacrifice for our sins and He, as the great high priest is now sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven, having obtained eternal redemption for those who put their faith in Him.

Because Jesus completely fulfilled the Law, being sinless, when He died, He broke the power of death over us so that IN HIM we can appropriate what HE alone could accomplish.

Besides, salvation was never obtained by keeping the Law anyway. The intent of the Law was to lead us to Christ and come to God in faith in His promised redeemer.

In the OT the faith in the promised redeemer was looking forward to Jesus. After Jesus death, the faith looks back to what He did and we understand the mystery that God kept hidden for the ages, which is Christ in us, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
