an: usually untranslatable, but generally denoting supposition, wish, possibility or uncertainty.Original Word: ἄν
Part of Speech: Particle, Disjunctive Particle
Transliteration: an
Phonetic Spelling: (an)
Short Definition: an untranslatable word that makes a statement contingent
Definition: an untranslatable word (under the circumstances, in that case, anyhow), the general effect of which is to make a statement contingent, which would otherwise be definite: it is thus regularly used with the subjunctive mood.
302 án – a conditional particle expressing possibility, based on a preexisting condition (stipulation, prerequisite). This adds an important theoretical (hypothetical) sense to a statement which narrows down the sense of that statement.
302 (an) "indicates what can (could) occur – but only on certain conditions, or by the combination of certain fortuitous causes" (J. Thayer). Only the context determines how 302 (án) "limits" ("conditions") the statement by the possibility (condition) involved.
Accordingly, 302 (án) is often called the "untranslatable particle." However, it always influences ("conditions") its sentence and is key to properly understanding the verse (passage) in which it occurs.
[Though 302 (án) is not easily "translatable," it always conveys important meaning. (The KJV sometimes translates an as "perchance," "haply.")
302 (an) is used about 300 times in the NT, introducing statements that have conditional or hypothetical meaning.]
" A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect of obedience to some specific revelation of the will of God.” - Scofield Reference Bible, Page 5
So what? I belong to Christ, not Scofield. Who do you belong to?
"Darby"
because of an obsession you have with men.
I've never discussed the covenants with you
No, you have "finished" in yours. That about sums you up.I'm not the one with "Dispensationalist" in my username.
You can continue acting like a spoiled toddler, or you can grow up and face life like an adult. I suspect you will choose the former.Therefore, you belong to Darby.
As I suspected. Is this all you have? Grow up little boy.What men am I obsessed with?
You're the John Nelson Darby follower, not me.
You're more worried about what all your TOL friends will think of you then you are the truth, when it comes to Dispensationalism.
".....the nondispensationalist points out some lack in the old Scofield definition and with the wave of the hand dismisses dispensationalism on the basis of the weakness of the definition! Perhaps the earlier definition does not distinguish dispensation from age, but such failure does not mean that they cannot be distinguished or that they have not been distinguished by others. And it does not mean that the entire system is condemned."- Charles Ryrie "Dispensationalism
Charles Ryrie is a lot like you TOL Dispies.
Ryrie, like you guys, keep trying to distance yourselves from the men who invented what you guys adhere to.
Ryrie unsuccessfully straddled the fence . .
Leaving him theologically impotent.
"For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me."
"Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God"
The "finished" one says that God is a liar, and there are no dispensations

No, I don't define "dispensation" as a time period like you Darby followers do.
The definition of "dispensation" is "to dispense"
You know full well from my repeated posts that I have emphatically stated that a dispensation is NOT a period of time. What do you hope to gain by lying, when not only can everyone here see you are lying, but so does God?No, I don't define "dispensation" as a time period like you Darby followers do.
It is to administrate. You really are not mature enough to be discussing the things of God in public. You make the Gospel of no effect, and you make yourself look like a child.The definition of "dispensation" is "to dispense"
