Can you name two scholars who identify the Gospel of John as part of the synoptic Gospels?

Your title for this study, Ongoing Bible study; the four synoptic gospels, ls not quite theologically correct. The Gospel of John is not one of the synoptic Gospels. The synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Sorry about misrepresenting your position. But I have to add, I am not sure what you are proposing in that paragraph.

Is this what you are looking for? Heb. 11 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain...

Go back over the whole chapter of Rom 1. See where Paul tells us that these unbelievers knew God, for God made it plain to them. Not at all understanding your priesthood of Israel. Just read the chapter again. You will see why Paul says they are without excuse. Many OT unbelievers came to...

Salvation has always been by faith in what God has revealed to us. According to Rom 1, all people are aware that God exists, that God's existence is certain. (In other words, there are no genuine atheists., just those who suppress the truth.) 19 what may be known about God is plain to them...

What we do have is the original wording of the NT manuscripts. No two manuscripts agree completely. In fact, we have more than 100% of the manuscripts. Dan Wallace told me that he sees it that we actually have 103% and what needs to be done is to remove the extra 3%. As far as altered texts...

This is part of the New Covenant, per Ezekiel... "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful...

The preponderance of evidence is that Mark 16:9 to 20 was not found in the original manuscripts. Most translations put this text in small letters and brackets around the verses. Whatever you want to argue/discuss about signs/miracles/languages, you certainly do not want to base any argument...

I am sorry but I am drawing a blank, where is the reference to this?

Deborah_: Can you point me in the direction of a book that argues polygamy was common in Crete?

another scholarly response.

Good scholarly response. you have just demonstrated why you are a babe in Christ. I think i will ignore you from now on. You are not trained in Theology. I don't mean to belittle you, but you appear to be in this discussion unarmed. Best of luck to you.

James 2:24 is not talking about eternal salvation. See a few verses earlier where James said that Abraham was justified/vindicated by his works of offering up Isaac. This should help you see what James is saying how he does not contradict Paul. See Rom 4.6 And if Abraham were justified (eternal...

Would you mind providing me with 2 passages that imply works goes with faith for salvation?

I can assure you that this is hog wash. If you are serious, why have you not given your money to a needy secular charity? I use to say to anyone who teaches something similar to your random thoughts to send your money to me, but I quickly changed that because for the last 25 years not one...

Yes, Kruger has more information and more refined comments. Many will not like him since he is a Reformed Theologian. He is worth the read. I should probably refine my statement that the Scriptures are self-authenticating because the Word of God is made alive by the Spirit. The Spirit...

It was written either 95 or 96 AD. It was one of the canonical books that was written in the first century but finally accepted later on. But all NT books were written in the first century. It was written by the Apostle John and he would have let his entourage know it was authorized for the...

See Dr. Michael Kruger on the Canon Revisited. You would be surprise how much evidence there is for each book. The apostles chose the books that were sacred. 22 of the 27 books were accepted as those the apostles authorized in the first century. Then, the remaining books were put to the test to...

Why don't you list a few doctrines that were contradictions for you before you accepted the Sovereign Grace. I would be curious what stumped you. If you can, give the answer that Sovereign Grace gives that resolves the contradiction.
