yeah that's clear. and you're clearly not interested in getting understanding either.

He is the head of the body, the church (Colossians 1:18) I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3) Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23) God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church (Ephesians 1:22)

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1)

rightly said! but Christ is king; not some pope, not Peter, not Devin, nor any man

the Bible isn't simple. far from it! we can't understand the answer to your question without understanding what it means to take the place of Judas the son of perdition. some say the casting of lots is done away with with the giving of the Spirit -- indeed it doesn't appear again after this...

the binding/loosing is from heaven, the decision of heaven, before the apostle ever bound or loosed. the believer is an instrument, being used to carry out God's will, not an independent authority. the language is absolutely clear but lost in English translation. authority is not with men, but...

i put Proverbs 16:33 to Devin earlier, because Devin appears to be of the opinion that man should be in authority over the church ((he himself he considers authoritative, weirdly)) and brought this topic up as tho it's some kind of proof of the authority of men. so i put that proverb -- which...

i trust everyone doesn't mind my detracting from the main topic in this thread. but the main topic is a 100% completely settled question and there's no usefulness is having that same argument over and over with a handful of people who want to condemn all grapes. this topic was essentially over...

because it's explicitly said they, did: And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. (Acts 1:23) no mention of the Spirit moving anyone. very much in contrast with how the lot was used in the OT to choose men: compare 1 Samuel 10, Joshua 7. by tribe...

beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. (Luke 24:27) they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures? (Luke 24:32) He said unto...

No mention of the Spirit in this section of Acts at all. They specifically put forward two people by nothing but their own human decision and then cast lots instead of the way lots were used tribe by tribe house by house family by family in the OT to choose Saul as King and find who had stolen...

Are you really so dense or just so full of hate for me because I don't praise you? Who chose Paul? Did post choose Paul?? Of course Matthias had to be called and that by the will of men! To become the Judas! If you think this is in the Bible because men are supposed to take the authority of...

Read the text again, and understand what it is saying. There is no mention of the Spirit directing these things in Acts 1:15-26. They decide someone must take the place of Judas. Men, not the Spirit, choose two men, and cast lots. Who is Judas? Who is he a type of? What does Judas represent? So...

False premise previously debunked. 1 Corinthians 3:11

Read it again with understanding, Devin. Men decided, not by the Spirit but by their human logic, to set someone up in the place of Judas, because they considered the number God had assigned them to be insufficient. So those men 'put forward' 2 that they chose themselves, thinking that their own...

You're sticking with authority doesn't belong to God? Are you aware of Proverbs 16:33? So who is Paul and who appointed him to be the bondservant of God? Why did God turn the lot men cast to a man who was never heard from again in scripture? And why did He choose Saul, who was rejected by every...

All power and authority belong to God, not men? You're really going to call that 'apostate?' That's your position? If you please can I direct your precious attention to 1 Peter 3:22?

Because 'you say so'? Lol previously covered. I cited scripture without perversion.

It's not a book about 'God exists' It's a book about Christ. All the books of the Bible are about Christ; that's how we know they are scripture. Just in the 1st 2 chapters, we have the disobedient chosen wife of the King with which His wrath is kindled. We have a foreign woman chosen by the...

it is Christ Jesus who holds the keys - Revelation 1:18 it is He who opens and no man shuts, and who shuts and no man opens - Revelation 3:7 not a man. not any man, but Jesus, the God-Man the scripture isn't set against itself. the papal-praising interpretations you have been taught are simply...
