1. The text says Israel will dwell alone and not be numbered with the Gentiles. 2. Therefore, they found fault with both his going to the Gentiles' home, and with eating with them. 3. Peter was told to eat unclean food, and, then, he ate with Gentiles. This is because if the food laws are not...

No, the occasion for having written Romans was that the Jews had been expelled from Rome (so the Christian Jews also had to leave), and, now, they were being permitted to return, but they were finding that the Church had been filled with Gentiles, and they had to have and understanding for how...

Paul says "when we WERE in the flesh" (Ro 7:5). Why does he say, of himself and his audience, "WERE in the flesh" if what he meant was "now we're not in bodies anymore"? Why does he say, of believers, "you are not in the flesh but in the spirit" (Ro 8:9)?

Yeah, God is doing something today, and that thing is that God is saving a small portion (in those days, it was 7000) of Israel. Paul is part of that small portion.

Remember, there is nothing wrong with God swearing, because God is actually God--it is wrong when we do it BECAUSE we are not God ("you can not make one hair white or black"). When we say that we swear, we are assuming Godhood, making ourselves out to be something much more than we really are...

@Doug Another user observed... Ephesians 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. There is only one faith, not two--which explains...

Yes, it is : you already disagree with me, and, to try to prove you're right, you simply emptily assert, "It's a simile"--you address nothing, you simply assert your disagreement as if it is obviously true. You haven't read the Bible on your own, and, now, you even ignored the references I gave...

I think, ultimately, the first error (Adam's) was looking to self, and the Old Covenant (the Law being a species of "the knowledge of good and evil") "rehearses" that error, showing us what we are doing, and the purpose of the New Covenant is to address and correct that error, bringing us to...

LOL! Buddy... The "begging the question" fallacy, also known as circular reasoning, occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, rather than providing independent evidence for it. It essentially restates the conclusion in different words, rather than proving it. This...

So, to you, is math (eg, 2+2=4) also just a coincidence? lol

1. You're begging the question, not addressing the actual evidence. simile : a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ). 2. Deal with the...

We don't need to guess what Jesus was after : Jesus says taking vows is the sin of pride, thus "of the evil one", thus He bans them. Rather, you should learn not to add to Scripture, violating God's Word, so as to uphold your vain tradition. You had better not lie against God's Word, because...

I disagree : If you read the text, Christ was saying it was the sin of pride to make a vow, thus "of the evil one".

1. Paul says "as Eve, so you" : Christ is the fulfillment of the Adam type (Ro 5; 1 Co 15). Who was Adam's bride? His own body. Thus the Church is called the body and the bride of Christ. Therefore, Paul sees that the Church is like Christ's Eve. 2. ChatGPT rightly pointed out that the Marian...

IDK if you know, but Luther, though I disagree with him, saw the Reformers as the continuation of that Church, and saw the Catholics as breaking off from the original Church.

The Law had concessions given for the hardness of men's hearts, which Christ nullifies--eg, "any cause divorce" had been given to them, but, now, Jesus says that is no longer permitted (Mt 19)--and taking of vows is one of them. James says it : make no vow AT ALL. "You heard it say 'pay your...

As already noted in the OP, which you are free to respond to, since it sets the topic, Paul already identified the Church as the antitype to Eve (2 Co 11:3).

Well, not that I want to change the topic, but there is actually a "wrinkle" on that one : John the Apostle does address spiritual "fathers" in 1 John, and Paul says "I became your father", so it seems Jesus was saying "Do not boast of yourselves with titles", but when someone is spiritually...

I went ahead and put him on ignore. He had nothing to say, no defense for the assault on his Church's nonsense tradition. LOL

Nah, actually, I'll just put you on ignore. You're not an honest person. Buh bye!
