Dispensation is a giving out, a spreading out as of time, goodwill or material things. It is also used to mean an exemption of a rule or regulation. For instance the "dispensation of time" which refers to the passing of time or the dispensation of a medication.

∙ 15y agoI take it that you are referring to Gospel Dispensations, if so then Adam must claim the first dispensation, often referred to the Adamic Dispensation. This will be followed by times in which the Lord had made known to men important gospel principles.
This being so them men like Noah, Abraham, Enoch, John the baptist and many others can be referred to as a dispensation.
A dispensation is of no certain length of time, but the time taken by the individual whom the message had been revealed to teach it to the people of their time. When that person dies that is the end of that dispensation, and another will start by another worthy follower of Christ.

How many dispensations are there in the bible?
That would depend upon the branch of Christianity that believes in dispensation. For Catholics, it is a Papal power to rescind a law or modify it so something not commonly allowed will temporarily be allowed. Like marrying someone who was divorced or closely related. Dispensations were commonly paid for in Medieval times and this was a major factor for the Protestant Reformation. For some others like Calvinist there are 7 dispensations periods - times in Scripture where God reveals something particular to test mankind until the end. Many within Christianity do not ascribe to either of these two interpretations. There is a general understanding of some Christians that God's Church has a governmental structure which He gave authority to certain men to lead each era through their times, preaching to the lambs (those who have been called but not converted) and growing the sheep (those converted and needing nourishment to grow).

Better be a little more specific: is what cheating? Are we talking income taxes, marital infidelity (yes, it's cheating if it's anywhere in the world), inappropriate help with homework, or what? No kind of cheating that I know of allows dispensations based on zip codes.
Are there special dispensations during Lent when traveling ie a cruise?
As the saying goes, there are no Chaplains on Tramp steamers! However methinks that the padres would argue against such a pleasure cruise in the sacrificial season. It is a complex problem, I would advise you to consult your confessor ( which does not cost anything) before Weighing Anchor. on the positive side you are closer to God"s creations at sea than anywhere else- but nature worship is not necessarily piety.
