A Bible Believer Looks at the Dispensations Found in the Bible

In our day, huge debates rage over whether God wrote the Bible dispensationally or not. But even the most ardent critic understands that there are, at a minimum, the two divisions of the Old and New Testaments. Some say that Dispensationalism is a heresy introduced by favorite go-to straw man John Nelson Darby in the 19th century,others say it came from C.I. Scofield in the pages of his now-classic KJV Study Bible. So what's the truth? On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we look as Bible believers into what the Bible has to say and teach us about dispensations. The word "dispensation" itself is only found 4 times in scripture, and all 4 are from the pen of the apostle Paul. The same apostle the Holy Spirit spoke through to teach us about rightly dividing.

Tonight's Topic: Understanding The Dispensations Of The Bible

"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; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 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: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily." Colossians 1:25-29 (KJV)
