Re: Scripture interpretation
This will prove to be a very interesting discussion I look forward to reading.
To bring clarity, it would help to clearly define, with detail, the key words: covenant, dispensation, etc. Often words mean different things to different people. For example, the story of Noah shows the first use of the word covenant. In it God tells Noah what to do and says this is my covenant with you. This doesn't convey the idea of an agreeing but of a commanding and Noah's compliance. But reading between the lines may show more. Usually covenants are thought, in my mind, to be agreements between 2 or more parties, which require both parties outlining their stance and the others agreeing to each others terms. Does the first use of the word covenant convey this? I think not. And so a detailed definition should be established of the words used, done so all are talking about the same concepts.
