This is the third in as many days that you have chimed in with something directed at me when I have responded to Jerry, all the while offering up nothing but flowery prose that may gratify a need to appeal to the hoi polloi or flatter yourself. Job done. I see you. You have been seen by others. Now, rather than wax eloquent insipidly in drive-by posts, bring something more substantive and on point to the table.

You assert things against Dispensationalism. I disagree. My posts are never at you, rather, at your assertions.
You ask people think things through. I do. Its why I write the way I do.
You conclude some thing else.
Luke 12
42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
A Stewardship or Dispensation involves six issues:
A Lord dispensing unto
A faithful and wise Steward a Stewardship
Over a Household on said Lord's behalf
To give or dispense unto Them Their Meat
In Due Season, Dispensation or Oiconomia.
Case in point, what the Apostle Paul wrote to those Body members at Ephesus as to that Stewardship, the Lord had given Him concerning a Household and its respective, Due Season Meat.
Ephesians 2:
19.
Now therefore ye are
no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of
the household of God;
20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21. In whom all
the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22. In whom ye also are builded together for
an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:
1.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner
of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles,
2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is
given me to you-ward:
3. How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5. Which in
other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is
now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6.
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ
by the gospel:
7.
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God
given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that
I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10. To the intent that
now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11. According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12. In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Case in point, what the writer of Hebrews wrote to them:
Hebrews 3:
1. Wherefore, holy brethren,
partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2. Who was faithful to him
that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful
in all his house.
3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath
builded the house hath more honour than
the house.
4. For
every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5. And Moses verily was faithful
in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were
to be spoken after;
6. But Christ as a son over
his own house; whose house
are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
A Stewardship or Dispensation involves six issues:
A Lord dispensing unto
A faithful and wise Steward a Stewardship
Over a Household on said Lord's behalf
To give or dispense unto Them Their Meat
In Due Season, Dispensation or Oiconomia.
