Like I said, I have never read the words of Darby, but I am pretty sure I have read everything Paul ever wrote.

Show from Crowley's own words that he adapted the idea of dispensations or that he ever heard Darby speak, both of which YOU said were fact.
Do it or shut up.
On the same night that Plymouth Brethren member Margaret MacDonald gave her "vision" that John Nelson Darby based his rapture doctrine on, Margaret MacDonald also claimed that Robert Owen was the antichrist.
For those of you not familiar with Robert Owen, he was a social reformer, and the founder of Utopian Socialism.
Robert Owen (1771-1858)
Robert Owen has the dubious honor of being the first antichrist in the many antichrists claimed by Dispensationalists since John Nelson Darby invented Dispensationalism.

Then you believe in a "rapture"?

Do it or be a slanderous liar.
Paul said he was a minister of the New Covenant.
Do you deny the New Covenant is in place right now, like all your MAD peers do?

Don't much care about it, one way or the other.
Anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size can see it.
You think everything's just a big coincidence.

Go ahead and google for it. See what you find. You already said it's true based on what fool Tetzo told you. Now prove it, to yourself if not to us. Do it or be a slanderous liar.

Or just admit you were in error so we can forgive you.
Nope.
There is no doubt that Aleister Crowley based his aeons on Darby's dispensations.
I'm not the only one who knows this.
"In order to historically situate his revelation The Book of the Law, Crowley proposed a progression of Aeons, or periods of differing spiritual economies or "formulae." Despite the gnostic appellation of "Aeon," Crowley's basic idea was almost certainly influenced by the Christian doctrine of Dispensationalism which was championed by the Plymouth Brethren fundamentalist movement to which Crowley's family belonged. Dispensationalism has since become very popular among American evangelicals in particular. Certainly, both Crowley's Aeons and the Dispensationalism of Plymouth Brethren founder John Nelson Darby share a basic intellectual infrastructure with the metal-identified ages of Western antiquity, the Yugas of Hinduism, and even the various Manvantares and Kalpas of Theosophical meta-history." - T Polyphilus, Aeons Beyond the Three
I think you have made a career out of majoring in minor points.
It's understandable how upset you are.
If I was a follower of John Nelson Darby like you are, I too would be upset learning all this really bad stuff about him.
Denying the new covenant is a MAJOR point in my career.
A denial of the New Covenant is a slap in the face to what Christ Jesus accomplished on the cross.
No dispensationalist denies what Christ Jesus accomplished on the cross.
If you deny the New Covenant is in place right now, then you deny what Jesus accomplished on the cross.
