yes, it is.
and if you camp out in Corinthians while thinking it contradicts Luke -- or as so many do, camp out in the NT acting like the OT is about an whole different god, you are not "cutting straight" or "accurately handling" the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 doesn't mean we're supposed to cut the scripture into pieces. that was your own point, saying that cults focus on some little portion of the Bible and isolate it from the rest of the book. what i want to point is out is that, that's exactly what dispensationalism does, whether you divide the scripture against itself somewhere in Acts or somewhere before or after it. it's not set against itself. if i think Luke 9 is a different gospel than Romans 4, i am not accurately handling The Sword -- in swordsmanship-jargon you could say i would have an edge-alignment problem. i'm not cutting straight; i'm holding it wrong and not swinging true.
