Does Believing in Dispensations 
Mean That We Say God Himself "Changes"?

We never said that... why do they always ask that?

General Outline of verses used in audio sermon

Dispensations have nothing to do with God changing.  It takes a Bible education / Institute to blind someone so bad as to think that it means that God has to change.

Of course God isn't / doesn't / won't change.
Malachi 3:6
James 1:17

God's goal hasn't changed!
Ephesians 1:4,5,11-12
Ephesians 2:12-22
Ephesians 3:9-12

However, we certainly can't ignore this verse:
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.  I Timothy 3:16

God certainly changed how He talked to his people...
Beauty of Creation
Conscience
Visions, Dreams, Signs, etc.
Written on stone
Through prophets, etc.
Manifest Himself in flesh on earth...
Through apostles
Signs and wonders
Paul
King James Bible...

The law still exists - it hasn't changed and it still has a purpose.
Romans 3:19,20

However, Jesus Christ - the RISEN Jesus Christ certainly made some changes concerning the law to believers!
Romans 3:21,22
Romans 10:4
Romans 6:22
Romans 5:15
Romans 4:15

They say that salvation has always been the same?  Serious?
Works
Conscience
Law
Believe He is the Messiah, the Son of God
Faith of Jesus Christ
Obey the commandments, keep their faith, not take the mark, etc.

The world has changed God in their eyes!
Romans 1:23-25

We shall be changed!
I Corinthians 15:51,52
Philippians 3:21

We are changed!
II Corinthians 3:18
II Corinthians 5:15

We should change our walk according to the Risen Saviour's teachings through Paul to Gentiles, today!
Acts 26:18
I Thessalonians 4:1
I Thessalonians 1:9
