That is nothing more than you venting your own pet peeve. What you have described of biblical context...is not even biblical. Example: David wrote Psalm 22 as one who suffered and cried out to his God, which was the original context...and hundreds of years later Jesus quoted them out of David's...

Still that is not the whole truth, which means you have made the same error as you have described. You have only accounted for two steps in the direction of what is actually literal, and yet there are more, more which you have not acknowledged and therefore leave out. I too will give an...

Not according to John 2:11: 11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. You have been found in error.

You have no such authority. But that you might know the truth, here again are the scriptures that show you to be wrong in your declaration above: John 2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. Colossians...

You are not understanding. The statement by Jesus to Mary, saying, "My hour has not yet come.” John 2:4 can also be translated as "My day has not yet come". The word for "hour" is often used for "day" and vice versa. The fact then that His hour/day had begun is in John 2:11: 11 This beginning...

Who is "successful"--have you not read of false teachers, strong delusion, and great apostacy? It is not wrong to study, but good. But it is a fact of biblical history that the general direction of those who have, has been error...and of course mocking anyone who actually knows from God.

I was pretty much saying the same thing...except not at all suggesting that "what one thinks they know" or "believes they know" is anything more than delusion.

No, but word games is your game. I have only clarified what is true when the words can be misunderstood or have multiple meanings...which you obviously don't like hearing.

You are just resisting the obvious because you believe otherwise. If you were to say "in my grandfather's day", should I resist and say "If he lived for more than a day, you are wrong?" And if you said he died at the young age of 33, should I say, "Even if he only lived a short life, it is...

Satan, the manifestation of evil, facilitated the problem from the beginning. It is that problem that Jesus came to conquer, setting Satan's captives free while defeating Satan in the greatest sting of all time. But no, when the devil is cast into the lake of fire, it does not still continue...

That would all depend on whether or not you had something to learn from him. But we'll never know with this kind of response.

Point well taken! The line that should not be crossed is that of making false claims.

If vague, then questions are in order, not accusation.

Granted, teachers and preachers cannot always cover everything they may touch upon--but God has done better, and many speak as if their partial understanding of what is written is all that God has inspired to be written...even contradicting other relative passages while making claims and...

I don't see your objections as being helpful, but do see the possibility of discussing this topic as being helpful. Where it may not be stated in a way you consider adequate, I understand @Episkopos to mean that many people believe, teach, and preach doctrines of partial truth not including all...

This passage actually goes on to say "marry" again. 14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some have already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing man or woman has widows...

In that twisted logic, the cross would be child abuse :rolleyes:

Only a bum would be against spanking ;)

Yes, there are many threads here on Christianity Board that are opinion or only part of the scriptures and little more than dangerous half truth and error. Example: One thread author recently argued that the temple of prophecy was indeed "stone" with pages of partial data to support it. After...

Again you push another gospel which is against the scriptures and Christ, for it is written: John 2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. @Enoch111 The temple is all a parable pointing to Christ. Always has been.
