Dispensationalism


Recommended Posts

Administrations/dispensations, to whom it's written, segregated rules and regulations.......all man made. Designed to make sense of portions of scripture that otherwise don't make sense...... "Well, that doesn't apply to us today because we're in another administration. It's not addressed to us."..... There, see how easy that is?

Couple that with the chronology of when the Gospels were written in relation to when the Epistles were written (Guess which were written first.) and it becomes clearer that there aren't lines of demarcation propelling modern man into the so-called Age of Grace.

Now consider that the authenticity and authorship of II Timothy have come under heavy scrutiny and you have a whole 'nother can of worms.

Yeah, seems we can slice and dice it however we want.

But what does it all amount to if it isn't put together right?

...and maybe to confound the wise.

Some purport that 1Tim.1:15 speaks to the nastiness of Paul's sin.

However, that's not how others see it. Change the word "chief" to "first," and he becomes the lead in to the new economy. The pattern for what was ahead.

The whole notion of God wanting to confound the wise is Biblical justification for the celebration of stupidity. Everytime someone is smart enough to say "Wait a minute. You're peddling nonsense," the Bible gives you a built-in defense. Confounding the wise. Give me a break.

God does seem to have a peculiar sense of humor (or so it seems, in Psalms 2:4.)

Psalms 2:4 isn't about God having a sense of humor at all. It's about God scorning (or scoffing at) the machinations of his enemies.

Off topic to this thread: God really does have a sense of humor, but it's more of what you might call good harmless fun. Stuff that allows a kindly chuckle, rather than a searing put-down. (I doubt that's changed, through any "dispensational" period.)
