Went right past your books based blindness.
Nope.
You are a "modeler". The only problem is your model is John Nelson Darby.

Was surfing the net when I ran across the following article on the Mystery mentioned in the Apostle Paul's writings.

He was pretty much spot on till he spun off into his non-scriptural invention of explaining what a dispensation was.
Nope.

Yes, he did. Did he say what year this culmination would be complete?
The verse confirms the return of Christ Jesus in 70AD
If you disagree tell us what Paul is saying in that Verse?
"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh," Matt. 25:13, but Paul...
Once again, your ignorance of the OT is on display.
Knowing not the day or hour is a reference to the Feast of Trumpets.
The Feast of Trumpets is the only feast day that begins on a new moon, the others start on full moons.
The day before the Feast of Trumpets was the darkest day of the month.
The Sanhedrin would send two witnesses to look for the new moon. Sometimes they wouldn't see it until the next night. Therefore, no one knew for sure which day or hour they would see the new sliver of a moon. When they saw it, they reported back to the Sanhedrin, and then the trumpets were blown.
Paul knew the prophecies that Christ Jesus had given in Matt 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Therefore, Paul knew the day was approaching. Paul knew that he and his contemporaries were living in the culmination of the ages, and that the culmination of the ages would occur during their lifetimes.
Here's a pic of what a new moon looks like:
Let me see; now where's that video where Tet's buddy goes on, and on, and on...
You don't think Paul knew what Jesus said in Matt 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13?
What do you think I think about that and why - give me the verses I base my answer to that question on?
Here is a clue - watch you get it wrong :rotfl:
Wow, a new (per) version of the Bible "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh," Matt. 25:13, but Paul...
Why don't you explain yourself, instead of always playing games?
Here is what you said:
Your failure to understand what "no one knows the day or hour" means is probably why you are so confused.
But, you can tell us yourself.
Now you sound like some others on here - not only DEMANDING an explanation, but knowing full well your own mind is already made up against whatever that explanation may turn out to be.
Danoh, TOL is a theology forum. We are here to discuss/debate theology.
As for my mind "made up", I joined TOL in 2007 and was a Dispensationalist here for about 4 years. Then I changed my mind, and am no longer a Dispensationalist because of the dialog here on TOL.
There are very, very few here on TOL that have changed like I did.
So, you are wrong when you say my mind is made up. I am proof of someone who changed their mind.
I joined the same year STP did. STP is not one bit different today then he was in 2007. STP is someone who's mind is made up, not me.
If you are going to make statements, but don't like the questions that follow, then you probably shouldn't be here.

A few that I can think of
You're a bit more sensitive now, squirt.
Indeed, I am.
