Again, your avoiding what I asked. Why do you do this?

How do you know that the prophets did not have written Scripture to which they could refer? Where's your evidence?

Is this a serious comment or is it meant to be sarcasm? Or, would you like it to be: 'His breath is condensed into the Douay-Rheims Bible'?

amadeus, I find these to be unhelpful statements as you give not one example of the OT types and shadows and the NT types and shadows. I would find it advantageous for you to illustrate to what you refer. Oz

Mary, You know your Bible. Surely you know the answer to that question! Are you raising it to cause a stir??? 'Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but...

Mary, Let's read the Acts 15 passage in context. Here, you have cherry picked only a portion of one verse: 24We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you...

So where are you going to live where this is not happening? I consider we must always remember Rom 12:19 (NIV), ' Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord'. Oz

Without the Scriptures, we would not know black from white.

You still are not dealing with the issues I raised. You're imposing your view. This is how WRONG you are in representing my view. I wrote: 'In my understanding, there is only one way to decide black from white. That is by using the absolutes of Scripture. No human being can do it'. What a joke...

That's a strawman fallacy. It's erroneous reasoning. I did not say that and do not believe that. Why on earth do you invent my beliefs and make them into falsehoods?

Josho, Add what happened in the Australian parliament today with the overwhelming vote for same-sex marriage and only 4 MPs voted against it. See: (Same sex marriage vote live: Parliament to pass historic bill legalising gay marriage. My local Christian MP voted FOR same-sex marriage. I've...

In my understanding, there is only one way to decide black from white. That is by using the absolutes of Scripture. No human being can do it. It's putting God where he said he is: 'I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?' (Jer 32:27 NLT); '19 I also...

Mary, It was you who asked me in #1362: 'Are you speaking of the Jewish writings (i.e. Torah) that Jesus and the Apostles would have quoted from or read (which eventually we Christians called the Old testament)?' I asked you for clarification of what you meant by Torah when the Jews had a few...

amadeus, It is dangerous when any Bible interpreter does not deal with the plain, literal meaning of the text, which allows for symbols, figures of speech such as metaphors, parables, etc. So, how do you find the meaning of the Greek, πειρασμός (peirasmos) in the NT to translate it into...

Mary, To which view of the 'Torah' are you referring? See HERE. To some Jews, the Torah means more than the first 5 books of Moses, so I'm wondering to which Torah your understanding is applied. Oz

I find that to be a dangerous method of biblical interpretation because it allows you, me and millions of others choose whichever 'deeper' meaning there is to literal words. That's what the postmodern reader-response promoters do. They want the reader to decide on the meaning and the intent of...

I'm asking you.

G'day Mary, James 1:1 (NIV) states, 'James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations'. For these 12 Jewish tribes, which was the 'all Scripture' (2 Tim 3:16) that they read? Oz

Job, I am not wanting to 'embrace' a people whose goal is to destroy those who have beliefs that are different. Being a cobelligerent is not being an ally with those with whom we have theological differences. I'm not a Roman Catholic, but there are times when I become a cobelligerent with RC...

Many thanks to you, ByGrace.
