Really? Care to flesh-out that charge? I look forward to your explanation of the Greek text.

The same "word" they found in the Scriptures they were examining to confim the truthfulness of what they had just heard from an inspired Apostle. The Berean Jews were considered "more noble" for doing this.

No, the story doesn't stop there either. Act 17:10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. Act 17:11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness...

What did Jesus say? It is written? That's very interesting. Maybe you should have the same confidence in the written word that Jesus had. It's actually quite to the contrary. Open your eyes Robbie. Paul contradicts you. 2Ti 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have...

2Ti 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 2Ti 3:15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I almost missed this. Thanks Anastasia. Well Robbie, here's your answer. Jesus himself may not have said the following, but the inspired Apostle Paul did. 2Ti 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 2Ti 3:15 and how...

You said that only Jesus is "the word of God." I demonstrated that that is simply not the case. The Scripture references I gave you show that all of God's communication to man is called "the word of God." This would include written communication. Does not Paul tell us that all Scripture is...

Robbie, I think you missed the point. You said that only Jesus is "the word of God." I demonstrated that that is simply not the case. The Scripture references I gave you show that all of God's communication to man is called "the word of God." This would include written communication. Does not...

I have a ferret.

Robbie, It's simply not true that the appellation "the word of God" belongs to Christ alone. The following is a list of Scripture references where God's communication to man, whether preached or written, is termed "the word of God." It should also be noted that the Greek term for "word" in...

No, Sola Scriptura does not "condemn" extra-biblical sources unless those sources contradict, add to, or attempt to supersede the Scriptures. Tradition, early Fathers, ecclesiastical writers, etc., can all have value, but only as they conform to the Bible as the ultimate standard. Also, Sola...

Thanks Angelina. :)

Well, it's afternoon now, but it's never too late to pray for peace and blessing. So, may the Lord grant us peace and blessing. Amen.

That may be true enough, but that's no excuse for taking something Jesus actually said and changing it into what you wish he had said. That's what Aspen did and it's a dangerous practice.

That's right. Almost nothing in your OP is. I'm glad we agree.

Where does the Bible teach this? Where does Jesus say that the Law was made for man, and not man for the Law? No, Jesus said no such thing. You're going beyond what was written. He said that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The Law does no such thing. Nowhere...

They're not? So now it's o.k. to: 1. Have other gods? 2. Bow down to idols? 3. Take the Lord's name in vain? 4. ***The 4th commandment regarding the Sabbath is a matter of debate and in no way detracts from my point.*** 5. Dishonor your father and mother? 6. Murder? 7. Commit adultery...

No, we're not saying the same thing. A factory dumping waste into a river is an example of 'misusing creation.' Adam and Eve transgressed God's will and command. That's the definition of sin, that is, missing the mark God had set for them. What Adam and Eve did has nothing to do with the 'misuse...

No, Adam and Eve disobeyed a direct command given to them by God and it was called sin. The Greek and Hebrew words used by the Scriptures to denote 'sin' essentially mean to "miss the mark or goal." That's exactly what Adam and Eve did. When God commanded them not to eat from the tree, he set a...
