Hello
@Harvest 1874
Good to have you aboard.
I have followed the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15 for many years now, and praise God for it. However I am loath to put myself in a box with a name on it, except of that of CHRIST my Saviour. For with names come categorising and disputation, and party spirit, with polarisation: which does despite to the unity of the Spirit which we are to endeavour to keep.
(Ephesians 4)
In Christ Jesus
Our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.

I appreciate the patience I've see in your response in other threads - one can't sway anyone with dogmatic standing, so argumentative tones never works. One doesn't have to identify as a "dispensationalist" - but if they believed the Bible is truly the Word of God - it would be hard not to have some dispensational realization within themselves....
God Himself does not change, but his dealings with men throughout time have always changed….
· What God told Adam, he did not tell to Noah
· What God told Noah, he did not tell Abraham
· What God told Abraham, he did not tell Moses
· What God told Moses, he did not tell David
· What God told David, he did not tell John the Baptist
· What God told John the Baptist, he did not tell Peter
· What God told Peter, he did not tell Paul
We currently live in an age with directions God gave Paul...
There's nothing controversial about Paul's message:
1 Timothy 3:16
(KJV Strong's)
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Keep up the good fight....have all men see the Mystery!
Colossians 1:25-27
(KJV Strong's)
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
God Bless!
