I see that you're still being slippery. 1. Are Paul's epistles inspired Scripture? YES or NO. 2. Is Paul wrong about the following statement? YES or NO 1Co 12:28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing...

Not quite and you know it... Dude. Peter does not say that unstable people twist Paul's writings as they do the Scriptures. He says that unstable people twist Paul's writings as they do the other Scriptures. Did you catch it that time? Peter considers Paul's writings to be inspired Scripture...

Another slippery post Robbie? Paul saying he is "nothing" has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Once again, we see the folly of ripping verses out of context. I'll explain it later if you like. Let's try again. I'll boil it down as much as I can. 1. Are Paul's epistles inspired Scripture...

Are you saying Paul's epistles are not inspired Scripture? The Apostle Peter says they were. He says so in the following passage. 2Pe 3:15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 2Pe 3:16 as he...

Unfortunately your response, quoted above, has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said in my last post. Are you going to respond to what I actually said, or is this just another one of your red herring posts? I'll post it again below so you're without excuse. I grow weary of your...

I grow weary of your selective use of Scripture and the way you fail to respond to the great weight of the evidence against your rebellious position. Your proof-text in no, way, shape or form precludes men as teachers in the Church. You sir, are the poster child for the Church's need of gifted...

Thanks for the advice JT. However, it any "official" sanction or admonition is issued, this will be my last day here. As you said before, respond to a fool and the fool is rewarded.

Well once again... haha..., your sub-Biblical ideas and attitude are detrimental to the Faith... haha... The Apostle Paul wrote nearly two-thirds of the NT. If he got anything wrong, then the majority of the NT is uninspired and unreliable... haha... Your Frank Sinatra christianity (I did it my...

I'll second that.

Very nice post in the "Is it o.k. for a Christian to kill people" thread.

I'm afraid you misunderstand horribly what John is saying in your proof-text. Your interpretation, namely, that you do not need to be instructed by any is false. The only way I John 2:27 teaches this is if you rip it out of its context. If your understanding is correct, then why does John need...

This is true. Hopefully, the group will also be gifted with leaders who meet the qualifications for the office of Elder, (1 Tim. 3). Heb 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy...

Once again, you find yourself in the unenviable position of butting heads with Scripture. It's sad to watch. Believers are to meet together to engage in the collective worship of God, not to have felt-needs coddled. Relationships may certainly be a benefit of gathering together, but it's not the...

You referenced 1 John 3:7, 8 as proof of your belief. Let's look at that passage. 1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For...

Hi Disciple, While I would never minimize the importance of the Holy Spirit's role in our Christian walk, you may want to consider Hebrews 10:25 regarding church attendance. Heb 10:24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, Heb 10:25 not neglecting to meet...

I would agree. Once again, Robbie misses the point and opts for his presuppositions. Jesus' warning was against any of us seeking preeminence among our brethren. He was in no, way, shape or form forbidding teachers as you rightly point out. I hope Robbie will consider the following: Eph 4:7...

I asked a very similar question once to a man on another message board. His answer was "yes." He added that he would sit by and watch his entire family be murdered rather than harm another man. Talk about a misuse of Scripture. :blink: That's not really a valid illustration. Jesus came to die...

My primary English translation is the ESV.

Context goes a long way here in helping us understand Jesus' point. He begins by pointing to the ostentatious way the Pharisees conducted their ministries. They perform their office to be seen by men and to be exalted by men. Receiving certain high-flown titles was their way of displaying their...

That's it? So you're assuming that God's word can't possibly be termed "graphe?" Why stop there? Why not assume that the word of God can't be called "preaching?" The word "graphe" merely labels a particular form of God's word in the same way that the word "preaching" does. "Graphe" means...
