Mjrhealth, Let me take a page out our brother's Job paybook. Are you saying we don't need a Bible nor a preacher? Cause I came to God through both. Are you saying that such cannot lead us to God? Are you saying that my fellowship ib person with others at Church is in vain?

No, I missed Mjrhealth. That epistle I didn't read. Paul was speking of his educatiin as a pharisee. Also as a jew. It wasn't going to get him into heaven. But he spoke 3 languages and new the customs of many poeples. He could also read and write and that aided him mightly. Or... Didn't...

Well what do you believe it to be? I ask because I didn't see you disagreeing with the scripture I gave. Job, I doubt you were just fumbling through you parents library, never hearing of Jesus, and then happened upon the Bible. Somebody probably told you about him and mentioned the bible...

Jesus said he came not to bring peace, but division. You are looking at just one verse. Why did Jesus speak in parables? The answer is to confound the mighty. Read my reply to Mygrace about Abraham. Yes, that's right! God can but men can't! God consoled ith himself because he wanted...

Ok let's start with that and let me ask a simple question: would Abraham read the Bible today? Its not really a simple question. Reason being you are right... He didn't have a Bible. Didn't even have the 10 commandments. He didn't have Christ either. Remember the parable of Lazarus and...

Well the first words you quoted were "search the scripture..." hard to do without a Bible! Jesus was telling them that they read them and think they have eternal life simple by knowing them. But what they didn't do is understand that the procephcy in those scriptures pointed to him. In...

The one key scripture is Romans 10:14. For context, read verses 13 and 17. In short, if call on his name you shall be saved. You can't call on him unless you have heard him. Faith comes by hearing. You can't hear him without a preacher.

Clearly not what Paul was saying or trying to do. Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; [24] Who now...

Why do you believe it has nothing to do with reading the Bible or going to Church? (As if we haven't been down that road before?) I wiil be bold enough to say this: You cannot fully know about Jesus without reading the Bible and you cannot fully worship Jesus if you are not in his Church...

I'm afraid I don't see why you believe children are not carnal from Mark 10:15. Could you elaborate?

I get it more than you think. Sword you cannot say you weren't looking for a comparison match and then tell me you don't understand why I am reluctant to share what I am doing. I don't share what I am doing because I understand the first half of Mat 6. I am not going to share what I give...

What version are you reading? I ask because the KJV doesn't read that way. It says if the servant does one thing, he's wise. If he does the other he's not. It doesn't describe a situation where he did one thing and later did something else.

It looks pretty good, but I am not going to start comparing my daily life with yours or anyone els's. I believe you were abrasive. Was there cause? Sure. But you're right. I usually don't care how people act towards one another on this board. At least not enough to comment on it. Don't...

Yep... Wasn't a different parable. One parable and then an explanation. Furthermore, you can't just isolate one parable and not consider every other parable given.

Not really sure either. Ive read two of his books (well, part of one before I had to return it). Brilliant writer. However I doubt he was discounting thr Bible. Not saying that is what you were saying... But I unashamingly say its above tradition. It should establish tradition.

Yes I am. Not sure about your interpretation because Jesus never called the neglectful, drunkard and servant beater wise. Was he given control? Absolutely. Thus the main lession that to whom much is given, much is required. Got no problem with that at all.

I perceive that's because you are assuming he had it in the first place. He didn't. He had the opportunity as he was called. But he never had it. If he had it, he would've no doubt continued to walk accordingly. But he never had it to begin with.

Its a good quote but I can't agree with it. I agree that the Bible brings us to Jesus, but it is also our main and only compass. I don't mind tradition and intuition, but not when it contradicts the main compass The quote seems to imply the old adage, "you can make the Bible say whatever you...

I see it and understand it and have given my "interpretation" of it. Twice.

Yea, he's a big boy and if he's going to come in like he did, he's going to get that response. I really don't give a rat's behind if you think I got your point are not. Fact is I did. Was Jesus abrasive? Or Paul? Or Peter? Absolutely. They were also equally kind at the right time. The...
