Peter doesn’t cancel out Paul - in fact Paul publicly told Peter that he was in error in his actions concerning gentiles, so Paul had authority over Peter.

I’d like to know who in history was the first idiot who thought that inhaling burning vegetation is a cool idea - especially given that you have to overcome your body telling you how stupid it thinks it is to inhale the smoke, by making you cough and gag - by forcing yourself to inhale until...

Alcohol is legal everywhere, but that doesn’t change the Biblical fact that no drunkard shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. I see no difference between getting high and getting drunk, to God, so the important key is drinking moderately without getting drunk, and not smoking enough to get...

No one knows, eh? This is from a Hebrew website: The name "Jesus" has a long, long history. The origin of this name is the Hebrew name יהושע (yehoshu'a, Strong's #3091 [Latinized as Joshua]), which means "Yahweh saves." This Hebrew name is first used Exodus 17:9 where we are introduced to...

After salvation the Christian needs to stop living sinfully in the same manner as the unconverted do, and walk in the light, as He is in the light. The non Christian has to repent of sins and change their mind about it, when the HS convicts then of that sin, as part of the Acts 20:21...

The risen Jesus warns believers in the church of Sardis that they are a DEAD church (though they think they’re alive) and warns them that they must REPENT, because most of them had DEFILED their robes (white robes are the saints righteousness, says scripture) then warns them that those who...

Your sect has turned water baptism into an idol, and into the savior. Paul thanked God that he’d baptized only a few people, and emphasized that God sent him NOT TO BAPTIZE, but sent him to preach the gospel - proving that the focus of the gospel, and of salvation, is absolutely not at all on...

Death is spiritual. Ephesians 2:1 you who were DEAD IN YOUR SINS. They weren’t annihilated, they hadn’t ceased to exist, they weren’t asleep in the grave before being converted and born again. They were spiritually dead - dead in their sins. Adam died the very day he sinned, as God says he did...

Satan steals the word from some who hear.

Prayed for God to open his eyes to what addiction is doing to him, and that he turns to Jesus for deliverance and salvation.

Body and soul are destroyed in hell, said Jesus. Oh, wait - JWs and SDA think hell is the grave and the soul sleeps with the body in the dirt. How then can both body and soul be destroyed in the grave? Hell obviously isn’t the grave. And we are made up of body, soul, and spirit, so the...

No one cancels it - they cancel UPC and RCC errors about it, though. And BTW Jesus gave the apostles a measure of the Holy Spirit before Pentecost: Joh 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Joh 20:22 And when he had said this...

Romans 7 is Paul when still under the law as a Pharisee. Romans 8 is the solution to the chapter 7 dilemma. But Paul starts out in Romans 8 with the conditional statement that having no condemnation, and remaining in Christ, is conditional upon continuing to walk after the Spirit, and not...

Because at this time the physical kingdom is in heaven, and hasn’t come to earth yet, which happens at His second advent. John had the Holy Spirit but as the commentators rightly said, John lived under the law, not under the spiritual or physical kingdom of Christ. The greatest under the law...

The sign is His appearing in the air on a cloud, for every eye to see, per Revelation 1:7, where it repeats that the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see Him. The parallel accounts of His coming in Luke 21 and Mark 13 omit the part about a sign appearing at His coming, BTW.

So you continue to claim Jesus was just blithering words He didn’t mean. Got it.

So Jesus was just blithering and spouting words He had no intention of His apostles carrying out? That’s what you are saying: “Jesus said it, but it means nothing, because He REALLY meant to baptize only in His name”. Who’s really the one being presumptuous?

David Guzik: A prophet . . . and more than a prophet: Jesus reminds the people that John is God’s chosen herald of the Messiah, not a man-pleaser or a self-pleaser. He was in fact more than a prophet, because he alone had the ministry of serving as the Messiah’s herald. For that, he is the...

Most preachers say, “in the name of Jesus I baptize you into the name of the father, son, and HS according to Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:19”. But water baptism saves no one, it’s part of a public confession of our faith in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, per Romans 10:8-13 - that we...

So you equate our mortal and temporal existence on earth, “where we know in part, and see in part, ond can only see through a glass darkly” with life in paradise where they have perfect knowledge? Interesting.
