As does a human child his father.

Indeed. And also, we can be shown the truth by someone else as the result of a discussion on what the scripture teaches; and change our mind because of the discussion. Personally, I believe that if we have built gold, silver, and precious gems on the foundation of Jesus Christ (as concerning...

No; for I believe that the true church does not consist only of Catholics. I do believe that 2 Peter 1:20 teaches us that every private interpretation is not valid until it is subjected to public scrutiny. And that two heads are always better than one when we are coming to a conclusion of what...

I guess, at least, I know who my enemies are by seeing who likes such a statement as this.

Why don't you copy and paste it on here so it is more accessible, and then make your point?

@Waiting on him, I have to say that I feel a little betrayed by you. No; because it is important that the interpretation of scripture be public and not private. Whenever any interpretation is subjected to public scrutiny, it will stand or fall based on whether it is true or whether we know...

Yes, pretty much. I believe that Jew and Gentile are treated the same according to the Lord's economy; the only difference is that the Jews were given the law and Gentiles don't get a-hold of the law until after they have received Jesus normally. As Gentiles, we start with the New Testament...

I looked it up on google. You're saying google isn't a valid source for definitions?

I do in fact preach, sometimes, to the birds and animals. Billy Graham did so, in his early years, to the trees. It does say to preach the gospel to every creature. That is not the only verse that speaks on the subject. In order to get a valid public interpretation, you need to have solid...

A Targum, by definition, would only be an interpretation of things in the book of Daniel, as that is the only scripture of the Old Testament that was originally written in Aramaic.

lol.

1Jo 5:20, And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 1Jo 1:5, This then is the message which we have heard of him, and...

Definition of Targum : an Aramaic translation or paraphrase of a portion of the Old Testament Is there a point?

It basically is teaching that the prophecy of scripture is not interpreted privately, but publicly. Not that the prophet himself was not to interpret his own prophecies; but that those who read the prophecy of scripture are to accept the public interpretation after all the intricacies of what...

Isaiah 9:6 shows clearly that the son that was given is God in the flesh.

I simply disagree with you. Read the verse again until you understand it.

2Pe 1:20, Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. I gather that you were hoping that I didn't know this verse well enough to be able to reply as I have replied.

That would be the reality of scripture that prevails after all debate has been accomplished.

When it is to my disadvantage if I do not boast about who I am and what I do as a believer, it is expedient for me to do so; and I may even be compelled to do so. You're right...you can't make me do anything...but you can create a situation where I would be foolish not to do something; even if...

We'll see. I would only refer you to Romans 11:33-36 and Isaiah 55:9. The word "Bible" is not even in the Bible. Do you conclude that therefore there is no such thing, or that such a thing does not pertain to real Christianity? The teaching (the doctrine of the Trinity) is there if you are...
