  • DL Moody -The Glorious Gospel

    Luke 4:18 – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

  • Charlie Kirk and President Donald Trump battle against Hatred

    Yesterday Evil struck and took the life of Charlie Kirk. In what I have seen in my decades of editing my several blogs, this story will be on American's heart for years to. Even if the useless media tries to strike it down or bury it, God will use this for Good.

    If you’re looking for a church in a specific area or need help verifying a church’s dispensational stance, please provide more details (e.g., city or zip code), and I can help narrow it down or suggest ways to find one!

  • Christ’s Love in this Dispensation of Grace.

    Your question touches on theological concepts rooted in Christian doctrine, particularly those related to the Apostle Paul’s epistles and the idea of a "Dispensation of Grace." Let’s break it down thoughtfully.

  • Replacement Theology – GROK AI may finally put it to rest!

    The King James Bible does not explicitly support replacement theology. God’s covenants with Israel, particularly the Abrahamic, are described as “everlasting,” and passages like Romans 11 affirm Israel’s ongoing role.

AI Covenants Confusion

In the King James Bible (KJB), the word "covenant" appears 292 times.

 

 It refers to a solemn, binding agreement or contract—often between God and humanity (or a specific people)—involving promises, responsibilities, conditions (or unconditional promises), signs or tokens, and frequently ratified with blood or an oath. God’s covenants demonstrate His faithfulness even when people fail.[1] (https://kingjamesbibledictionary.com/Dictionary/covenants)

The KJB uses both “covenant” (especially in the Old Testament) and “testament” (in the New Testament, translating the same underlying idea of a binding agreement or will). The books themselves are called the “Old Testament” and “New Testament,” referring to the old and new covenants.

The Major Biblical Covenants
While the exact number and grouping vary by theological perspective, a common framework (widely used in KJB study resources and dispensational teaching) identifies seven covenants. Three are made with mankind in general; four involve Israel specifically.[2] (https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-covenants.html)

Dispensationism vs Covenant Dispensation vs Progressive Dispensation

Dispensationism vs Covenant Dispensation vs Progressive Dispensation

To me what is key is it Biblical. You be the Judge! Big words confuse me. I like progressive with covenant. Keep it Christ Centered and biblical and literal. 

Covenant dispensation

Covenant dispensation (or more commonly, the "administrations" or "dispensations" of the covenant) is a concept primarily from covenant theology, a framework in Reformed and Protestant Christian thought for understanding God's relationship with humanity across redemptive history.

Key Concepts

  • Covenant Theology organizes Scripture around God's covenants (formal agreements or relational bonds) rather than distinct "dispensations" as the primary structure.
  • It typically identifies two main overarching covenants:
    • Covenant of Works (or life): Made with Adam in Eden, promising life for perfect obedience (broken by the Fall).
    • Covenant of Grace: God's promise of redemption and salvation through faith in Christ (the promised seed), established after the Fall and unfolding throughout history.

The covenant of grace is one unified covenant but administered (or "dispensed") differently in various eras. These are not separate tests or ways of salvation (salvation has always been by grace through faith), but progressive revelations and applications of the same gracious promise, pointing forward to Christ.
