Who's this "us" you speak of? Got a couple of mice in your pocket?

Just yesterday, I posted Isaiah 61:1-2, for your reading comprehension. I then posted Luke 4:18-21, for your comparing to Isa. and what was missing from Luke. It was a very important key to understanding that even Christ knew the times, and seasons, and ages of God's plan for mankind in Scripture. If you would read it, perhaps you could begin to understand what that simple verse that was stated in completion in Isa. 61:2, and in partial in Luke 4:19, meant. Obviously it means nothing to you. Christ just left the last part of the verse off. He just closed the book, sat down, and forgot to finish the verse.

This is the point of Bible study. Why didn't He finish it? Was there something about the first part that was DIFFERENT from the second part? Maybe that one verse showed TWO AGES, TWO TIMES. That would lead a person to find out if there are different ages in God's plan for mankind. Which would lead to "Time Past", "But Now" and "Ages to Come" in Ephesians.

Which SHOULD lead to when did TIme Past end so that But Now could begin. And when will But Now end so that the Ages to Come can begin. It's called studying the Bible, rightly divided. Into the times and ages that God has set for man.

Or not..maybe it's just a big misunderstanding. And Christ just didn't like the second part of that verse. And God has only one timetable for man:"NOW". So believe on Christ, or bring a lamb to slaughter once a year, or don't eat from the apple tree, or do build an ark, or do bring works meet for repentance, or don't trust in the finished work of Christ, or do keep the law, or do endure until the end, or do or don't beware of big fish, or don't eat pork, or do take a little wine for thine often stomach infirmities, or do or don't take up a snake and it shall or shall not harm thee...Whatever you believe God says for you to do. It's all "NOW" in your world. (Unless you don't care for what it says, then it's "NOT NOW". Funny how that works.

Us meant those on the thread. I was curious to see what other non–Catholic's response would be to the Dispensationalism you have been taught and teach: The religion started aroudn 63 A.D. consisting of Paul's gospel which you believe is different than Christ's ministry.

My post was at the time one seemed to support you and I asked her if she really did believe in the Dispensationalist teaching. I haven't seen a reply.

Your theology is comically absurd to me as I've posted before for the reasons i posted before. Your effort is wasted on me unless you desire more pointing to the absurdity if I wish to reply at all.

So: the us was others on the thread, particularly non Catholics. i asked you to try to convert them and see what their reaction was.

Not convert to your already shared anti – Catholicism, but to your whole dispense–with–Christ’s–ministry–and–Kingdom–of–Heaven teaching thing.
