Ontario : Woodside Bible Fellowship., 1996, S. G36221 Cor 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. G3622 Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: G3622 Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: G3622 Col 1:25 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; This opened my eyes not to accept the 1800's Christian dispenstional teachings. But, rather, simplicity, in when God dispensed a change in the Law, a dispensation, a change in the Law come into existence. Like Paul said, if he is willful in following Christ he has a reward, but if he goes against Christ's dispensation of the gospel committed to him then he has gone against Christ and proven himself untrustworthy. Thought this was interesting and wanted to share. Any thoughts? maybe I am not clear in this what I think. In Christ's love Vickie
