Look in the mirror and repeat:

“I’m beginning to think you may need to understand the meaning of the word Paul uses in Ephesians 3:2.”

Seriously! Dispensation as used in the Bible means most closely “provision.”

Sigh. Nope.

Greek - oikonomia - management of household affairs, stewardship, administration, administration, dispensation.

Never once is it translated "provision" or any of it's Synonyms.
