Not a problem, it happens to even the best at times.

I would agree, epouraniois, that time is not a factor in dispensations. I thought that I had made that clear.

Dispensation is a period of time when a specific government is put into place, not necessarily a distinction of all things, for then there would be an endless number of dispensations. A dispensation is not necessarily a period of time, but rather a period in which God is governing things in a...

There are seven to my knowledge: The Dispensation of untried innocence (before the fall, Adam and Eve); The Dispensation of Conscience (Before the flood); The Dispensation of Human Goverment (From Babel until Abraham); The Dispensation of Promise (Abraham to Moses); The Dispensation of the Law...

There are three Bible Translations that I highly recommend. I used to be KJV (or KJB, as you put it... I think that you are referring to one and the same) only myself, but because of a verse in Isaiah (pariculary Isaiah 9:3) I became persuaded that the King James Version is not an inspired...

Andrew, I would read through the book of John, if I were a new Christian and trying to understand the love of God. Yahwe is another name for God, just as Jehovah. God does not take pleasure in the killing of others, and whenever we read of God commanding His people to kill those who they are...

epouraniois, just to make sure that I am understanding your points from the original post (I did not read the entire thread here, nor do I have time to at the moment, but if you think most necessary, I shall try to). You are arguing for the predestination of the Saints and the choosing of...

In the words of the wise... Holy Smokes!. Perhaps I am missing something here, but it does appear that epouraniois is asking ligitmite questions, which, no doubt would require some bit of studying in order to answer, but ligitimite nonetheless... Why the attacks? Perhaps I have missed some key...

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own deisres, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2 Timothy 4:3,4

epouraniois, a book that you may be interested in concerning the study of dispensationalism (which will affect to a great extent how you interpret scripture, as to whether or not you are covenant theologian or dispensationalist), would be "There Really Is A Difference", by Renald Showers...

I completely agree, I was just concerned about the statements made about Jews being distinct from a DNA standpoint, which they are not. Jew, just like Christianity, is a religion. Just like blacks are no different from whites on a DNA stand point, Jews are no different from anyone else on a DNA...

being that this is in the Apologetics forum, I won't feel too forward in asking this, but if I offend, please let me know and I will let the issue alone entirely... but seeing how they have this divided into "New Christians and Apologetics" I wonder... (Why would they have New Christians in the...

I am dispensationalist myself... I am not aware of a division at the end of the book of Acts, unless that is where we are saying that the Church began...

Only trying to be objective by showing what is in the Word of God. We can say what we feel Christianity should be, but that does not always lead us to truth. One should be quick to shed his feelings and look at the objective. Acts 11:26 "And when the had found him (Paul, then known as Saul), he...

Christian was a term that was coined for the believers at Antioch who were known for the devout faith to Christ. It literally means to be "Little Christs". It was meant to be, I believe, an insult, but apparently it stuck and is now worn with pride. What does it mean to be Christians? Literally...

Not sure if you are still reading this, Lastsecman - but if you are, here is my two-cents worth. The parable was about how true humility, as found within the much loathed tax collector, is what God honors, and not the religious leader's outward righteousness, but his unwillingness to be holy...

Also... if indeed you do come up with the answers to these, epouraniois, I would be curious of your sources.

As far as I see it, most of these questions cannot be answered simply because the Bible does not provide an answer to them. The only reason I can think of for this is that it was not important enough, or for us to have these answers. My question: What is up with all of these questions. Granted...
