Paul said 2 or 3 times "follow me", but also said follow me as I follow Christ. Paul never pointed to himself, and in fact, he somewhat spoke against that notion in 1 Cor 1. He was pointing to the Gospel which is is Christ. He said follow me, but he was preaching Jesus with his (Jesus')...

Bob, you must realize all the errors there are in this statement, right? (Apparently not, since you still made it). First, they are related, but they aren't contradicting statements... Not even by omission. Jesus answered what was the one great commandment. Paul was commenting on morals and...

Goos thoughts, and true! But as others do these things, and we do as well... Let us not forget about forgiveness. These things are terrible, but we should forgive. Not forgiving is also a sin. Matthew 6 says if you don't forgive others, your father will not forgive you. I suppose this...

Ok... Fair enough....

Yikes, Soul Man! That's a pretty bold statement! But it is absolutely true! I hope you saw my comments about Paul being Christ's ambassador and speaking in his stead. What he was truly saying is that what he was speaking was coming from Jesus himself. In short, when you are following Paul...

I absolutely agree. I believe that is what I was saying all along. Do you believe I was doing so? If so, how? If not, why are you telling me about it? You seemed to have forgotten to answer my question: What I am wondering is this: how does one "imitate" Paul without following Paul?

The first thing we must realize is that when you quote the gospels when Jesus said he was going away is that he was talking about his death, from which he returned. Now second, yes, his flesh did go away in Acts 1. No doubt about it. He's still in the flesh today though (one body, many...

What I am wondering is this: how does one "imitate" Paul without following Paul? To do so we would have to observe him, listen to him and know his doctrine.

What? Do you feel Paul's words cancel Jesus's? I certainly don't. I think Jesus had more to say when the time was right, and he did it through Paul.

Hebrews 13:5 KJV Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Well, sort of. Paul said in 1 Cor 11:1: 1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Other times he just said "follow me". But Paul rightfully said (I believe) that he was an ambassador of Christ and spoke in his stead. This means that Paul believed he had the...

Love it! I have said the exact same thing before, but not as plain as tou put it. Another thing people should realize is that James and his followers (being Jews) were still zealous for and kept the Law. Paul disagreed with that, even for Jews. He would suffer it, but he did not command it.

I saw the article somewhere... I haven't heard him preach or watched the show, but i give him props for doing it for so long and into his 90's.

Anyone got a current thought on investing in real estate at this time? Overall, it seems like a solid, conservative investment for the long run. Population is going up, and Gos isn't making more land to live on! I have been looking at ALEX. They are based in Hawaii, which is interesting...

If you want to believe that's what I said, sure. Have at it! There is a context to this thread that isn't being discussed on your question. But for the record and to give you something to talk about, Jesus technically did break the Sabbath and he was in the same flesh we are in, which is...

He never left.

So tou select 6 or 7 Bible translations. Based on what? Your opinion! I desire no more conversation with a reed shaking in the wind.

Alright Tigger... Attack tbe translation! I don't want to, but we can go down that road! I have posted this philosophy before, but will do it again. I stick with the KJV. I have studied the history of Bibles and that is where I stand. However, I am not one who won't appease others who go by...

That is flat out backwards. First off, it doesn't just say there are 3 in heaven: 1 John 5:7-8 KJV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. [8] And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water...

A sinner. Just like the rest of us. And to every one who doesn't like that, well what's your candy bar fetish?
