No. They searched the Scriptures to see if Paul's words were true or not. Most people don't speak Latin. Thee's and thou's are King James language and one can look up a Modern Translation to find the alternate meaning easily. Discussion of the Word of God is the point vs. throwing in...

1 Corinthians 14:19 "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." 1 Corinthians 14:11 "Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a...

1 John 1:8 is the real battleground here. Either one will use 1 John 1:8 as an excuse to sin, or they will see that it is a warning to the brethren that it is in reference to the gnostic believer's false belief that thought sin was an illusion or not real (like Christian Scientists today...

Please speak entirely in English and explain things in the most simplest way of what you mean here.

Romans 14:4 says, “Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.” It is also written, 5 "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her...

I do because you don’t like the word “perfect” in the Bible like the rest of popular wide gate path Christianity teaches because they use 1 John 1:8 as an excuse to sin on some level (When that’s not what the verse is saying). You copy and paste scholars and others and look to lexicons (scholar...

The Bible clearly teaches us to be perfect, though. So it’s not misguided at all if one believes the Bible at face value.

Some in the Church of Christ (COC) (Campbelites) would disagree. https://www.timberlandchurch.org/articles/is-the-church-of-christ-a-denomination In either case, the COC holds to certain doctrines that are unique to that organization. I believe that some of their beliefs are unbiblical...

It does not change the Word of God. Believers are to strive to be perfect and holy in this life. Being made holy in conduct is a process (2 Corinthians 7:1). Remember, only Noah and his family were on the Ark. So you cannot walk by sight but by faith. Look at the Bible and nobody else. But...

Paul says he came not to baptize but to preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 1:17). This means they are distinct and different. The gospel is different than water baptism. When Paul talks about the gospel in Romans 10, keep 1 Corinthians 1:17 in mind. Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-10 for the gospel...

Was this your own study or somebody else’s? In either case, it sounds like an elaborate way to undo what the Bible teaches on being perfect. Another in this thread said it was a corruption in the text. Your approach here simply is a different one because you don’t like what the Bible says...

@Titus The Bible teaches that the two thieves had their legs broken so as to speed up death. However, this was not the case with Jesus, for our Lord had already died before the two thieves. In other words, the thief on the cross was no longer under the Old Covenant right before he died. The...

But what if we conditioned ourselves to a wrong way of thinking that we prefer to hear? I am at least willing to admit when I am wrong with the Scriptures and I strive to say open to God’s correction on what His Word says. For it is by God’s Word that we are to be corrected by (2 Timothy 3:16)...

The words that I speak from God’s Word are for all who are able to receive them. I believe there is an age of accountability. When they reach that time, then the Lord will of course strive to get them to accept His Word. If a person knows what sin is and they sin and they reject God’s Word in...

Amen. I agree. Some people just don’t like what the Bible says in certain places.

I am glad to hear it. But of course if you did rebuke them I would assume you would do so in love for their souls (because you want to see them saved). I am assuming you would let them know you loved them. Am I correct? 1 Corinthians 13 talks about love. It says: 1 Though I speak with...

Not sure what you mean by these words. It sounds like you are talking in left field somewhere. Please explain it in such a way that a 6th grader would understand it. How do your words here defend the odd viewpoint that basically says, ”Every time the Bible talks about being perfect it is not...

Again, I already explained it. You are conditioned to reading the verse the wrong way and you will of course not read it in such a way that would contradict your church’s view. For if it did, then you would have to find fellowship elsewhere. Seeing you don’t want to do that, you will of...

Why would He do something that would be contrary to how grace and or forgiveness works today? It makes no sense. It sounds like you don’t like Jesus forgiving others on the spot. Paul says whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved in Romans 10:13. He mentions nothing about...

Acts 22:16 says: “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Is arising also a part of washing away your sins? No. We see that the word “and” starts a new thought here. So Paul is being told to wash away his sins by calling on...
