    I have answered that question but you seem to have avoided my answer. I'll not be repeating it.

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Tom, 1. What did the Council in Jerusalem (Acts 15) deal with? The false teaching about circumcision (Acts 15:1 ESV). The main thing that came out of that Council that is theopneustos (God-breathed) is the record of it in the infallible Scriptures through the Book of Acts. Where in Acts 15 is...

    Where do the Scriptures say anything about teaching infallibly?

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Tom, Based on Acts 15:22-29 (ESV), the only thing that is inspired (theopneustos = God-breathed) is that which is recorded in Acts 15. There is no indication in these verses that God inspired an infallible church to make judgments ex-cathedra. Oz

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    Demonstrating that the Passover and the Crucifixion differ in content is a biblical responsibility for every child of God involved in hermeneutics. The Crucifixion and Resurrection demonstrate the following: This is taken from John Piper's article on ten results of the resurrection: A savior who...

    Doge??? :wub: Try using the logic God has given us and that includes the law of non-contradiction. Ever heard of the nonsense barometer? Try reading the Gospel of Peter and your nonsense barometer should rise.

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    kepha, We have no statement in Scripture that concludes that any church, Catholic or another, was infallible in any of its decisions. The oldest copy we have of the NT canon is the Muratorian Canon, which is dated about AD 170-200, and is a manuscript fragment. While it excludes some books...

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    Separating the Passover seder from the Crucifixion is an error, because they are one and the same sacrifice. kepha, It is NOT an error. The Passover did not provide propitiation for the sins of the whole world: 'He [Jesus Christ] is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    kepha, You make a leap of logic (i.e. making it illogical) when you move from understanding there is inspired text to the Bible, to 'acknowledge the authority of the Catholic Church [Are you meaning Roman Catholic Church?]'. You are confusing the process of inspiration with the process of...

    Tom, To each writer of the OT and NT was given infallibility (see 2 Tim 3:16-17 ESV; 2 Pet 1:20-21 ESV). See my article,The Bible’s support for inerrancy of the originals Oz

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    No, Tom. The infallible authors were the nine (9) authors of the books of the NT who produced 27 books. In total, over 40 authors produced the 66 books of the Bible. They are the ones through whom God breathed out the infallible Scripture. No Council produces documents that are theopneustos -...

    Do Christians have to forgive everything no matter how bad the sins?

    Boll, How does that view harmonise with Col 3:13 (ESV), 'bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive'? Oz

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Kepha, I went through all of the Scriptures you gave in #264 and not one of them stated that the gift of infallibility was given to the church. Not one! I did find that Kepha imposed that view on the Scriptures. I'm a serious student of the Word and reject eisegesis, which is what you have...

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    Please provide Scripture that demonstrates that the gift of infallibility was given to the church.

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    You miss one important factor with regard to the Bible. It is theopneustos (breathed out by God), according to 2 Tim 3:16-17 (ESV).

    When did the universal Church first mentioned in 110AD stop being universal?

    No human decision by sinful, fallible human beings can produce an infallible document unless it is theopneustos - breathed out by God (the only document with that authority is Scripture).
