About 25 years ago a man told me, "Outside of the classroom, what every student of God needs is, a King James Bible, a Strong's Concordance, and a Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary". I took the advice, and it has served me well.

I also am non-denominational but I find it useful to listen to other views and hold it up against the Scripture.

When I said I went "independent", that doesn't mean I have my own 'denomination'. It means I refused to be conformed to 'one' particular 'platform of interpretation'.
Think about this:
It is my belief that there is an amount of truth in 'dispensationalism'. However, I disagree with major Dispensationalists like Scofield who taught that all of the OT dispensations except the 'dispensation of promise', included work for salvation. Sorry, I don't see that in scripture.
On the other hand, I see covenants throughout scripture, salvation by grace, from Adam to Revelation. I also see how each dispensation works hand in hand with some of God's Covenants.
This simply means that I can see, both merit, and falsehood, in both of these major views.

Fat,
When the scriptures give internal evidence to define and interpret what has been written therein; only a fool would question that witness.
2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
That is the Word of God; it is not up for dispute.
If you don't like what God said, change your 'likes', not God's Word!

Jack,
That's not the point if you check back you'll see it was not me that the question about the meaning of dividing it was calluna.
You have two conflicting statements here. It is obvious that Noah's Webster's dictionary is wrong even by your standards. Why would you rely on something like that when you have the Scriptures in front of you?
2 Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (NAS)

Fat,
Look up in the left corner, it reads:
"quote author Fat"
Plus your name is in red letters at the top left of the original post.
The Noah Webster is not in error, nor is the King James Bible. Try looking up each and every definition found in both the Strong's, and the Noah Webster under "divid"; your knowledge will increase. That is studying. Looking "all" the words represented in a definition, and thereby learning from it.
When studying God's Word, it is necessary to divide a doctrine into its separate parts in order to get the correct understanding. While Eschatology, Soteriology, and Pnuematology, are all doctrines of the Bible; the scriptures pertaining to these doctrines are studied separately in order to accomplish a systematic theology.
