• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In my study , DISPENSATION // OIKONOMIA is only found in the following verses , by Paul !!

# ! .In 1 Cor 9:17

#2 Eph 1:10

# 3 Eph 3:2 ''

# 4 Eph 3:9

# 5 Col 1:25

# 6 1 Tim 1:4

OIKOS , means a House

NOMOS , means a law

Law here does not means the LAWS OF MOSES !!

So what does these laws means ??

So, while "age" or "era" might broadly align with the idea of dispensations, the concept of dispensation includes a more detailed framework.
Depends on who is doing the slicing and dicing

They can slice it and dice it pretty good. Even now we are going from the Church age to the Kingdom age. Everyone everywhere has their own opinion as to how we are going to transition from one to the other.

Eggzactly

There is no coherent unified reasoning.

Even the fact that there may be a transition here on earth is subject to questioning and doubts. It can simply all take place after death.

There is prophecy in the Bible but a lot of times we do not really understand a prophecy until after it happens. During operation desert storm they set a lot of the oil wells on fire. I took that as being a fulfillment of prophecy in the Bible. Biblical prophecies are often written in symbolic and metaphorical language, making them open to various interpretations.

Unless a link is made in any event to God adversely engaging devils in mankind, I discount any surface values as too shallow. Any understandings that discount that fact is and will remain hollow/void

For example, it is not Israelites and middle easterners fighting each others. That is a blinded sight

It is the devils in those people, warring against and killing each others

People are just their pawns in their evil games
