Hereticus wrote me saying that he heard me say that dispensationalists say:
"Jesus' gospel is dead and gone,' that's one of their favorite expressions.'
I said the dispensationalist “view is that Jesus’ dispensation is dead and gone.”
This was a famous statement by Luther about the Law -- the dispensation of Jesus:
“I dismiss the commandments given to the people of Israel. They neither urge nor compel me. They are dead and gone, except insofar as I gladly and willingly accept something from Moses, as if I said, ‘This is how Moses ruled, and it seems fine to me, so I will follow him in this or that particular.’” Martin Luther 1525
Paul says the same thing in Romans:
“Now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter” (Romans 7:6).
This response to Hereticus's comment allowed me to educate everyone else that Luther had an extreme dispensational view that Paul was superior in knowledge and learning to Jesus even in Jesus' ascended state as to the Law; Jesus was supposedly behind Paul. Here is the quote in the video and the citation:
“There is no man living on Earth [except Paul] Who knows how to distinguish between The law and the gospel … even the man Jesus Christ was so wanting in Understanding when he was in the vineyard that an angel had to console him though he was a doctor from heaven he was strengthened by the angel.” (Luther, Luther Works 54, 127.)
You can download a PDF of the book title page with that "wanting in Understanding" quote, and an excerpt with that quote at page 53 of same title in later edition at this url to my Airtable: https://airtable.com/shrvDWEYNda5BgOd1
I hope this makes clear my thoughts on the subject. And it is fair to quote Martin Luther saying Jesus'' dispensation of Law is "dead and gone." Hence, Luther was the first modern dispensationalist, although he grew out of it by the time he wrote the Antinomian Theses.
