...really? Do you want me to draw a timeline for you, starting at the Book of Acts and comparing Paul's epistles to Acts' time periods to prove to you what I've given you? I've given you the pre-prison Epistles he wrote, and I've given the the Prison Epistles he wrote. I've given you the Epistles he wrote BEFORE Israel was blinded and set aside, and I've given you the Epistles he wrote AFTER Israel was blinded and set aside.

If that is not enough, then may I suggest you follow 2 Tim 2:15 and STUDY for yourself? It isn't that hard to figure it out.

Unless you've been told that your church tradition holds something like Paul wrote Ephesians on February 29, 64 AD, and because that was a leap year, then it only has to be followed every 4 years...

pardon my impatience, but a little study on your part, if even to prove me wrong, would be helpful.:)

No offense intended.

It just seemed to me that order and date were very important to your exegesis so I was asking how you arrive at this. I’m not aware of any precisely known dating for all the epistles.

If you have a source/chart, that would be appreciated, since it seems quite crucial to your points here.

To explain with an example:

>>>the Epistles he wrote BEFORE Israel was blinded and set aside, and I’ve given you the Epistles he wrote AFTER Israel was blinded and set aside.

It would seem that the before and after here would also need to match with chronology of writing.

There are other considerations of course, such as audience and purpose, that affect content; but it would help to match up the date/order at least.

thanks for your reply.
