The purpose of this page is to document Scriptural references to counter the dispensationalist view that there are seperate rules for Hebrews and and the rest of the world.
DISPENSATIONALISM:
an evangelical, futurist, Biblical interpretation that understands God to have related to human beings in different ways under different Biblical covenants in a series of "dispensations," or periods in history
If sin is transgression of Torah (1 John 3:4) and Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, then Adam and Eve had Torah.
- This was before The New Testament,
- before there were Jews,
- before there were Hebrews,
- before Moses,
- before Abraham,
- and before Noah.
