Absolutely. Good post.

When you read 2 cor 5 you see this kind of language. Vs 12 For WE commend not ourselves again unto YOU. but give YOU occasion to glory on OUR behalf. Vs 13 and following you will see some of the same. Like in vs 20. He is contrasting WE with YOU. So it is the WE who are ambassadors. Not the...

Yes I’m sure we are not apostles. I’m sure you aren’t. You have no miraculous abilities whatsoever. You can lay hands on nobody and impart gifts. You do not have miraculous memory. You are not directly guided into all truth with some new revelation. When you read scripture and study you will...

You began all of this with mark 13 and now have completely left mark 13. For some reason you don’t like Mk 13 anymore. We have not really looked at Mt 24. But yes a part of what they asked was about his second coming. So, let’s look at the transition from question 1 to 2. Matthew 24:34-37...

maybe you are starting to understand.

God is a consuming fire. 1 Cor 3 (another abused part of scripture) tells us what will withstand the fire. Gold, silver, and precious stones. Hay, wood, and stubble will perish. When you read the context of 1 Cor 3 you will find he is talking about people or converts to Christ. Some are gold...

maybe I inferred something you did not imply.

Apostles were people sent out that held a special position and had special abilities with the gifts of the Spirit. They had a special job in that they were overseers to the beginning of the church and produced the NT which we have now. They could impart gifts through the laying on of hands...

Let’s examine this. You say that me being able to literally point to passages in the word of God as to the reason I do x or y as subjective? But you and others can go around claiming direct operation from the HS unable to prove anything since you ave no power and that is not subjective so as...

The word was made flesh and while in the flesh he said John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. You must receive his words (plural) because it is by them you will be judged in...

If he does, i don’t know how he does it. I don’t know that he helps me beyond giving me comfort through the promises and instruction given in his word. God knows what we need before we ever even ask. God knows what we’re thinking so why would the Spirit need to take this info to the father...

Yes Paul was an apostle.

Rom 8:9 says that the Spirit of God dwells in you and that the Spirit of Christ dwells in you. It does not say how. You read that and say it is literally the Spirit dwells in you. There are more passages that say Christ and the father dwell in you. But you know Christ does not literally...

What is a “12 apostle”. I believe they were all guided into all truth.

Matthew 24:1-3 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown...

Yes Paul also said that what was written aforetime was written for our learning. We are to learn from the account of Noah but what he told nosh is not for us. we are not expected to build an ark.

Ps 119:172 all thy commandments are righteousness. Acts 17:30. Command all men everywhere to repent Acts 10:13. Whosoever shall call in the name of the lord shall be saved. Etc... It takes more than belief to work righteousness

I receive the HS through the word.

The good news of human redemption through Jesus Christ.

You are right. Nobody reads and studies except for there favorite pet passages. Let’s just take what the “pastor” says.
