I never mentioned dispensationalists. I mentioned people who somehow embrace the heresy of Christ's body being divided due to ethnicity,
do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Mt.3:9
And this is exactly what's being done here
Well, let me just be clear for the readers' sakes then... that this is
NOT what is being done by "dispensationalists" nor does it represent their stance (not sure what you mean by your use of the word "here" / "what is being done
here").
In "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" [Eph1:20-23
WHEN (as to its existence)] (which is made up of both Jews and Gentiles), they (we) are
considered NEITHER, in our standing before God IN CHRIST. [NO DISTINCTION
therein!]
But that is speaking of
all those saved "in this present age [singular]". (
For example, "our Rapture" pertains SOLELY to
these ^ , NOT to all other saints of all OTHER time periods: not to OT saints, not to Trib saints, not to MK saints.)
Those who come to faith FOLLOWING "our Rapture," are distinctly Jews/Israel and the Gentiles/nations, where this is spoken of.
And Ephesians 1:10, is not speaking of "in this present age [singular]" / the NOW, but yet future.
The rest of the epistle IS covering the NOW ("this present age [singular]" [where there is NO DISTINCTION in "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY"), but Ephesians 1:10 is not speaking of this present age (but a yet future one!
).
Presently (in this present age [singular]), it is referring solely to "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" where this is the case that there is NO DISTINCTION (therein).
I see the problem coming in when people do not perceive the CHRONOLOGY (and timing) issues, and simply lump everything into one big pile of mush... rather than distinguishing the things that differ as we are called to do, and "correctly apportioning the word of truth"
