All of GOD's laws are based on Christ, not the 10 commandments; the law through Moses was just a shadow that has passed away. The new foundation is the law of faith based on the new covenant made with the 12 apostles, of which we partake through faith. I think that's great that you take a day...

You're exercising a rationalization of convenience by picking and choosing what you want to obey based on what suits your lifestyle. The law of Moses is a whole. You can't pick and choose what parts of it you want to obey. It was bound to both the covenant and priesthood that have both passed...

Yet the king in heaven dwells within his subjects (his body) on earth. Thus saith the LORD, heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool ... Isaiah 66:1

That's a very nice analogy. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8

That's all true. But the religious box is the carnal mind, not words or doctrine. There are many counterfeits mimicking the holy spirit. Without the restraint of doctrine, fellowship of the spirit can devolve easily into many carnal things that are not of GOD. The whole issue is whether or not...

So does this mean you are a misandrist, or that the wisdom of GOD is not found in natural man? I agree with what you say. However, we can have no understanding of anything without it being our understanding. Of course, we are not to lean on 'our understanding' (Proverbs 3:5), but that simply...

Actually, there has been a change of law. People who say otherwise are in denial: ​Thus if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need [is there] for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not...

Regarding item 2 above, the 2nd century Syriac NT (the Peschito) did not contain the book of Revelation. It was added later. The reference to Nero in it appears in a version dated the 5th or 6th century AD. Eusebius, the fourth century historian, quoted Irenaeus’ testimony that John wrote...

I read it several times; and frankly there are a lot of words, but not a lot of clear thought. I don't disagree at all that one must be moved by the spirit to speak with scriptural authority. But what is spoken must agree with scripture. One cannot speak with scriptural authority unless one...

One thing I have noticed over the years is cultists and false teachers using that verse (Matthew 16:25) to manipulate people's minds to abandon some framework of thought in order to embrace a false teaching. Not saying that's what you're doing; just making an observation about something that I...

A, do you have any idea what the witness of the spirit is?

What is a pope? why would I need one?

Good job. I stand corrected. I will say this, though. The only instance of apostolic succession was limited specifically to one who had actually been with the lord. Also, the biblical method for choosing the apostolic successor was via casting of lots, and not apostolic, or otherwise, voting.

Depends on what he meant by the word redeemed. If he meant that the price of redemption has been paid for all men, he is correct. If he meant that all men will enjoy the benefits of that redemption, he's not.

That's true. However, it can be argued that Judas was never an apostle, only a disciple. And the new covenant was not made with Judas. The apostles were not sent into all the world until after the cross and Pentecost. So technically there was no apostolic succession. It appears to have been just...

Theocratic succession was a stupid thing for me to say. Of course theocratic succession is biblical. What I should have said is apostolic succession. Apostle's are chosen by GOD, not man. I don't think there are any instances of apostolic succession in the bible.

'My spin' is what the bible clearly states. I called your interpretation spin because you couldn't scripturally support your view, but could only do so by inference from your viewpoint. The bible plainly says about the first resurrection: If we believe that Jesus died and rose, thus also...
