No you did not. Dispensation does not mean a 'time', and you showed nothing from scripture that defines it that way.

Seriously Alan, honestly answer this question - where is dispensation defined in scripture as a 'time'?

Since you disagree with Websters, and the meaning of dispensation as I stated, where is your proof, as a minister of the word, from the word. I quoted the word dispensation from Noah Webster's 1828 dictinary. You changed the word in the KJV of the bible to from the word "dispense." The translators of the KJV knew the root word "dispense" but they used "dispensation" and in other places the word "age." Your twisting of using dispensation to  the root word "dispense" is wrong and twists not only my meaning but the scriptures as well. The King james transltors were correct and you are in error.

  rightly divided - correct my rightly dividing by using the same verses I used above.

Rightly divide for me.

Dispensation means age. Look at my posts.Look carefully at Colossians 1:24-27 the scriptures plainly say, "from ages and from generations." Every word of my above post is correct and the teaching of larkin is correct.

That means long ago, not dispensations.

And no I did not correct the text of the Bible Alan. I gave meaning to what the word meant. Dispensation is made up of two parts - dispense + ation. Which is where the meaning of the two parts comes from. They together equal the word dispensation. There is nothing wrong in that. It is called defining a word, which Webster did in 1828, but he defined it according to its use and not according to its makeup.

As you know Dispensation is not a root word, a root word has NO prefix or suffix. And the word dispensation has a suffix, "ation". Which means "the action of".

Plain and simple.

The topic is Larkin, Colossians 1, 1 Peter 1, and the words, "dispensations ages and generations as used in those verses. All you are trying to do is change the subject and  twist the meaning of plain scripture. I know what the root word, the suffix, means: that is not the issue. I was very clear in the first post and the meaning, and words of Colossians and 1 Peter are also very clear to all who will listen with a humble heart.

Invicta, I'm sorry, I just saw your request to close this thread. It's taken care of now.
