I have said it somewhere, and I think it was on this forum, that I could not do to my children what God does to His. And I still believe this. I would be doing just the opposite, trying to have them avoid suffering. God has chosen the way of suffering as the way of growing in Him. Whether...

Your answer is nauseating to me. It is Pharisaical and legalistic. You are using Scriptures which are true, but you are not speaking the truth. Where was Jesus faith when He asked, "...Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me...." (Matt. 26:39) Or when His soul was depressed to...

Well, I don't mind any one asking me questions. The point is, in post #(182) I answered all three of your questions, plus the fourth that you then asked. The point of you asking is to show my answers prove a point you are trying to make, or disprove something I have said or believed. So...

Yes, I understand it. But you indicated in post #(150) that because the Epistle of Barnabas spoke against abortion and infanticide, that is a factor that you use to accept it as Scripture. So, why wouldn't the 'infanticide' in (Num. 31:9-17), or concerning the Flood of Noah, be a reason to...

Yes, I agree. Stranger

Really? What about the parts in the Old Testament that require Israel to slay men women and and children? (Num. 31:9-17) Is that inspired by God? Stranger

What does it matter. You ask questions and I answered. What is your point. You just want to ask questions? Stranger

Quite welcome. Stranger

I have answered all three of your questions. 1.) (Matt. 2:15) is citing (Hosea 11:1) 2.) (Matt. 2:15) is stating that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of (Hosea 11:1) 3.) (Hosea 11:1) is describing the nation of Israel. Yes, I said Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of (Hosea 11:1) which...

Your third question didn't make sense as you called a nation a person. Hosea was describing the nation Israel. Stranger

What parts of the Bible do you reject as inspired? Nothing wrong being against abortion. But a writings stand on abortion doesn't make it inspired by God. Stranger

(Matthew 2:15) is citing (Hosea 11:1). (Matthew 2:15) states that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of (Hosea 11:1) Stranger

The only doctrine that I ever rejected and do now accept is the 'gifts of the Holy Spirit'. I was aware of it and just did not believe it to be so. It took some time in studying the Scriptures that I came to see it was indeed true. I am dispensational but wasn't always. But, it was not...

Anyone who wanted to, could make that a reason for considering some other book inspired by God. That is the worst reason in the world. It shows you believe the Scriptures we have are incomplete. You say 'abide' by the New Testament. You probably reject the Old Testament, or parts of it...

Just because Barnabas or any apostle wrote something did not make it inspired Scripture. The individual writings in the Bible were inspired by God because God inspired them. Just because something is written that you agree with in another writing, that appeals to your sensitivities as a...

Well, yes you are rejecting what we have as the New Testament. Because Barnabas is not included. So, what is your method of determining the canonicity of 'Barnabas'? And is it an accepted method among the Church? Do you use the same methods employed by those who first were involved in the...

Not sure what you are talking about here. Stranger

Which is all well and good. But as to canonicity, that was something only the early Jews or the early Church could determine. Stranger

And Moses was a murderer with David who was an adulterer also. My sarcastic point was that you open the door to anything can be claimed as Scripture. Unless you have your own rules in place that determine what is in the canon of Scripture. All Christians in the West were part of the Roman...

He is a little late to determine canonicity or the methods of determination. Stranger
