I simply counted. Every time Jesus said "I am the vine and you are the branches; abide in Me" I called that a dispensing speaking.
Or the parable about the wise virgins and the foolish virgins. Dispensing.
But when he said, "the servant said, my Master delays, and he began to eat and to drink and to beat his fellow servants..." that seemed like a stewardship teaching.
The same word in Greek translates into both stewardship and economy. "Oikonomios"... so you have to be careful what you are looking for, because it may distort what you find. Like a man hunting deer: every bush suddenly seems to sprout antlers.
