"TO JIMMY RE: SCOFFING"
Hi Jimmy,
I read your most recent post:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2012/jimmy1130.htm In
it you say that there is no difference between Israel and the
body of Christ. To this I agree. But then you write:
"They don't realize we are in the Age of Grace (the Body of
Christ)...." making the body of Christ and the Age of Grace one
and the same.
Question: Did not God show His grace to every dispensation
since Adam: Before the Law, during the Law, and after the
Law (the Gentile Church Age), when He sent His Son to be the
atoning sacrifice? My point to be taken is that we
shouldn't make this current dispensation the only Age of
Grace. I believe our current dispensation has been known,
since Pentecost, as the Gentile Church Age, which God showed His
grace to us by His cross. And when the Rapture comes
scripture clearly shows us that more come to Christ
afterward. Therefore, the Age of Grace begins at Adam and
ends when time is no longer then eternity is ushered in!!!
This poses an interesting question: Since we have history
as our guide, every dispensation has had a beginning and an end,
which ushered in another dispensation or age. If we can agree
that there is a difference between the Age of Grace and the
Gentile Church Age, and that the Age of Grace spans the entirety
of all souls to be saved from Adam to the end of the Millennium,
then what does this say about the dispensation of the Gentile
Church Age, as it has a beginning and and end? The
question is:
How will we recognize when the Gentile Church Age comes to an
end? I feel I can anticipate your answer, but I'll wait for your
reply. If you would like to continue to dialogue my

In Christ,
