Dispensational what izm???



Romans 11:13 (KJV)  “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:


It’s amazing how most fellowship pastors, teachers and elders fail to understand who Paul was and what his ministry is. Most only teach from Paul’s writings when it bolsters the passage they are using. They chose a passage from Genesis 12 to Acts 8 or Hebrews to Revelation; then enforce their text from Paul’s writings when it fits.   

Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 11:32 was where God was working with the whole world.  No law, but only the conscience of man to direct man. 

From Genesis 12:1 to Acts 8:40.  There in these passages God calls out a people for His name and His work.  God gives them the “Law” given through Moses to the Israelites to live by:  moral, ceremonial and social law.  

Side bar:  Romans chapters 9-11 explains Israel’s past position, their failures, the calling of Gentiles and Israel’s future when this dispensation of the grace of God is complete.  

Acts 9 to Philemon,  Paul called and is given the secrets of the mystery of the church, its purpose, its conduct, its position in the whole scheme of God’s eternal plan for the body of Christ.  

Hebrews to Revelation, again resumes working with the nation Israel and its future as given in Revelation.

When the church, not fellowships but believers in the body of Christ understand the dispensation of the grace of God given:  “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me (Paul)  to  you-ward (believers, the body, those in Christ)”  Ephesians 3:2.  When the body learns how to:  “Study to shew thyself approved unto God (why one is approved!) a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15.  

A good resource to use, to see the grace message presented flawlessly by a pastor in Indiana:  use youtube, search “James Devney         
the grace message.  The message is 34.50 minutes, James presents scriptures from the King James Bible, as he expounds on grace.  I have discovered it helps tremendously when I hear different members within the body of Christ say the same things but from their diverse prospectives; I do truly hope that this helps as you discover who the LORD Jesus Christ is.  

The only gospel that saves in this period of grace:  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Thank You LORD Jesus for loving me and giving me Your life.  I don’t understand, except by Your amazing grace, why I was chosen to see the the truths of Your word the way they were intended.  I thank You that I do see and understand and pray that others too would come to the truth, wisdom, knowledge and understanding that is only found in You.  In Your name, Jesus’s name Amen . . . . . . . .

Eternal or Everlasting life; which is it?

John 3:16 (KJV)   “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .” Why everlasting life, why not eternal life?   is there a difference and if so what? Most resources I have available were of the opinion that they are the same.   I needed to dig deeper.   I soon found that all of man’s ideas on the subject were based on their opinion and very little scripture if any, then the easily discounted.   If I am to find the answer I seek, which is truth; I need to consult scripture.   Words in blue aren’t scripture. “Let a man so account of us ( Paul and his fellow workers ), as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.   1 Corinthians 4:1.   So I was right to search the scriptures concerning my question: to find this answer in His Word. When I started this word study the first thing I noticed was that the most sig...

Importance of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV):   “ And if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.” I am amazed at how ignorant most are of their salvation.   I will ask “Why, do you think you’ll go to heaven?” or   What happens when you die?”   ninety nine out of a hundred will answer with “Jesus died for my sins.”   True; “Jesus died for the sins of the world, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”   John1:29b.   That is most true but also is “and if Christ be not raised, your faith  is  vain; ye are yet in your sins.”   Jesus had to die for the purpose of removing sin, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”   2 Corinthians 5:19.   But this reconciliation can only come when one believes the gospel as pres...

When did the "Church" begin for us today ? ? ?

1 Timothy 1:15-16  (King James Version 1611):  " This is  a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief (first, beginning Strong's Concordance # 4413).  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him for life everlasting. The "Church" didn't start with Peter and his presentation of Acts 2:38.  The "Church" started when Paul was on the Damascus Road.  Then it took numerous years in the desert for Paul to come to the understanding of "Faith plus nothing" (Les Feldick).  We are saved by grace through faith, who's faith (Romans 1:17)? "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,  If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12) he ma...
