Now I’m going to carry on with what I was doing last week. We looked last week at this chart which was a chart of the dispensations. There are seven dispensations: we have the dispensation of Innocence (1) which started with Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 1 to 3. Then, you have Conscience (2) which is the time from after the fall, after the expulsion from Eden, right through to Noah and...
How often do we fall when we’re alone?
