Bible Note: Hi, heislord12... I do not recall using the word invent. The word I used was taught. Darby and Scofield both taught a kind of dispensationalism, although from what I can understand, there are several varieties, including that which has been popularized by prophecy mongering in the last 30 years or so. I believe that Ellen White taught a variation of dispensationalism too. I would not be able to distinguish classic dispensationalism from other varieties. Do you know where these forms are documented? I would like to learn a bit more about how they differ and who teaches which version. I know that the word oikonomia (dispensation or economy or stewardship) appears four times in Scripture (once in the first epistle to the Corinthians, once in the epistle to Colossians, and twice in Ephesians) although the context is not the same. As opposed to some 300 occurrences of the word covenant, for example, it stands to reason that as a perspective it would have received only recent attention in 2 millennia of Christian study.
