I have studied the book. I haven't read every word. Alfred Edersheim is better. He was an Orthodox Jewish convert to Christianity. You will get a better "perspective" from Edersheim. I would add him to your collection.

Do you really care or are you just "digging"? What Jesus said is true and more than enough to save anyone. What Paul taught and preached is more than enough to save anyone. James doesn't do anything but complicate the discussion. Even then, I'm fine with dealing with it. I will tell them the...

1. If the person asked me if the NT was reliable. I would say yes. 2. If the person asked me if the Protestant canon was reliable, I would say there is issues in all canons. I would then proceed to tell them how reliable the words of Jesus are and why. I would tell them how reliable the words...

I'm not "mind reading". I'm going by exactly what you say. What have I said that is wrong? List them. Why should I believe you will not accept anything I say. You've proven that you will not. I doubt your sincerity given how you've acted toward me. Canoncity is a complex subject. You should...

You're such a "nice guy".... All I have done is challenge you on what you believe. You're angry now because of what you've said doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

You don't need me to know the subject. Go study itself. Come back when you're not a novice on the subject. What I said is true and you're rejecting it. I'm not going to spend days of my life teaching someone mocking what I've said already. You can know this yourself. Don't be lazy.

So you've shared your disagreement with the "church"? Did you not read what Paul taught? 1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how...

You don't KNOW the Christian Theological subject of Canonicity. Very few do. They don't want to know...... We know what we want to know. Those that seek.... FIND....

The fact you're keeping it private.... proves you're being manipulated. I bet they've already told you what their position is. They are demanding you keep it private so it doesn't look bad on THEM..... 1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be...

Then, by that definition, I'm not a lone wolf. That is what is so annoying to have a conversation with you. You make up you own definitions..... Or, your pastor makes them up for you.

Study. Don't be lazy. Know the subject. I know exactly why I believe what I believe. I don't need my "pastor" to tell me a single word. I put forth the effort myself to know them. The only thing you find in most churches today is a hireling.... HIRED... to believe for those too lazy to know...

True and I very serious doubt that he really had. He thought he had. Self perception is a dangerous thing. We can only really know ourselves by getting to know God.

I have. You said that you were no longer interested. Did you change your mind?

Then there is no need for a private conversation.

Not at all. I was angry when I first saw how I was being manipulated after I got saved but that was 30 plus years ago now. I care about others who are being manipulated. Those like yourself. I care about those who manipulated me. I tried to get them to see the Truth. They had too much baggage...

No. We can have a public discussion. I've ran into those like you before. You're one of them people that don't want others to really see your weaknesses. I've had "pastors" privately agree with me and then from the "pulpit" preach against what they said they believed to me..... It is all...

That is what your pastor has taught you. I'm not alone. Jesus Christ is with me. My audience is larger the cheerleaders you have down at your assembly. Your "puppet master/pastor" definitely has you under control. I mean seriously... KJVOism? KJOVism among Freewill Baptists is rare. I bet he...

We are much alike. I'm not a Universalist but I am sympathetic to those who hold the position. There are just a few Scriptures that stand against the position. I also lean toward Partial Preterism. I do believe the vast majority of prophecies where fulfilled with the death and Resurrection of...

1. When you sin, what work do you bring to atone for your sin? 2. If you believe all you have to do is ask God to forgive you, then what WORK is involved in such a request?

The problem with you is... you're ignoring your own demands. You require obedience and you're not obedient yourself. Why are YOU not obedient. I haven't demanded you be obedient to anything other than having faith in the Gospel. You're the one with all the requirements.
