Enoch, I find that to be your imposition on the text. Nowhere in 1 Cor 13 is 'that which is perfect/complete' stated or inferred to be the completion of the canon of Scripture. However, as I stated in #41, 1 Cor 13:8-13 teaches that the gifts ceasing is comparing a reflection in a mirror NOW...

Enoch, Where is that stated in 1 Cor 13? Oz

Enoch, Cherry picking a verse is dangerous in biblical interpretation. What does 1 Cor 13:8 state? ' Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away' (NIV). What does the context tell...

Was it a real temptation Jesus encountered in the wilderness or was it a fictional moral challenge (Matt 4:1-11 NIV)?

Mike, I've tried to supply a biblical base in post #32. Was Jesus confronted with moral conflicts? Seems to me that he was: Consider Heb 4:15 (NIV), 'For we do not have a high priest who is unable to feel sympathy for our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as...

Mike, Welcome to the forum. It's great to see your post on a topic that bamboozles some Christians. It's an ethical issue that is associated with other biblical examples such as, Rahab. See Joshua 2:1-24. Joshua sent the 2 spies into the land, especially to Jericho. Where did they stay? In...

Reggie, I also am an Aussie but the language you have used here is that of a tradie working on houses in my Village. Would you please leave this vile language in the wheelie bin and not bring it to CyB. I found your language offensive towards people made in the image of God. Regarding the...

Wafer, Have astronomers been able to measure the absolute size of the universe? When medical science finds a way to do a knee replacement, is it following something that can be measured or developing a prosthetic limb that can be implanted into any knee, no matter the size? The spirit or...

Was he the only person you have ever witnessed to who had objections to some aspect of Christianity?

Wafer, That's not an answer to the question I asked about 1 Peter 3:15, so it's a red herring fallacy. If we are not in the public square personally or on blogs, don't expect people to ask for a defense of the hope we have in Christ. There are droves of non-Christian forums online that provide...

Wafer, What is your thesis of putting this verse into practice: 'But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason (the defence) for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect' (1 Peter 3:15 NIV). Do...

To that one could be added other Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible.

No, mate! This is what I mean when I state that you and I have to use logic to understand sentences: Sentence Logic and Punctuation Sentences communicate information from the writer to the reader. Correct grammar and syntax ensure that the information is conveyed unambiguously. Grammar...

They are necessary to express your thoughts, especially in writing.

Wafer, Oxford Living Dictionaries disagrees with you about ending sentences with prepositions: Did anybody ever tell you that prepositions are not good words to end a sentence with? That is not a rule, it is an opinion formed by Latin students and carried over to English. You can read more...

Wafer, You don't seem to understand that when you or I write sentences we use logic to understand what they mean: Sentence Logic and Punctuation Sentences communicate information from the writer to the reader. Correct grammar and syntax ensure that the information is conveyed unambiguously...

Wafer, You didn't answer my questions. You talk about 'invisible rules' but they aren't invisible when you require them to write any sentence. What are the subject, nouns, verbs, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, predicate, prepositional phrase, clauses, etc. Where should commas, colons...

Wafer, So, are both truth and error correct? When we compare the various solutions to getting rid of the congestion on the freeways around Brisbane, Australia, is that a legitimate activity? What is wrong with comparing the various interpretations of the Book of Revelation? Is that or is that...

Wafer, You didn't extend to me the courtesy of responding to the content of what I wrote. Oz
