    Please give me the evidence from the NT where Jesus stated this.

    Dear Church, Here’s Why People Are REALLY Leaving You

    Which Roman Catholic denomination are you promoting as the 'only ONE, and the RC Church is it'? Source.

    Gender Roles, the home and the Local Church

    Wormwood, Are you suggesting that if a person is a gifted teacher from God that she will not necessarily do it well? This is not pragmatism - doing what works. It is being competent with the exercise of one's gift. The added problem with 1 Timothy 2 is 1 Tim 2:15 (ESV): 'Yet she will be saved...

    Gender Roles, the home and the Local Church

    One can be submissive and yet not be silenced. I submit to my boss, but that does not mean I'm forced to be silent on issues on the job. We know from 1 Cor 11;5 that wives prophesied. They cannot prophesy and be silent at the same time be silent (1 Cor 14:33-35). Some of God's gifted women...

    jaybird, I'm still waiting for your evidence that Jesus went to 'other people' in England, India, etc.This is where 'I believe' does not provide evidence to establish such a case. 'I believe' is subjective. Oz

    Gender Roles, the home and the Local Church

    Stan, I am in support of your view of the openness of women to ministry. i consider it to be sinful the way we have closed down women in ministry (to a mixed gathering) through the centuries, based on improper interpretations of 1 Corinthians 11-14 and 1 Timothy 2. N T Wright has written an...

    Gender Roles, the home and the Local Church

    Stan, The purpose of a Greek-English interlinear NT is to provide the Greek text in one line with the literal English translation word-for-word in the second line - right under the Greek text. However, there is no parsing or understanding of the Greek grammar in an interlinear translation...

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    Have you read every post I have made on this and any other forum? 'Never once' admits to your reading all when I doubt it. I have admitted to being 'less than absolutely correct' on many occasions in my Christian life. The problem, Mike, is that you don't know me personally. You only know me...

    'I believe' is not evidence. Where is your evidence that Jesus went to these 'other people'? Who were they?

    You didn't reply to what I wrote. You are off and running with your own kind of reply. That makes your reply a red herring fallacy.

    Missing from bible

    However, it was you who said in #242: 'Jesus said He had other sheep to go to. i believe Him when He said that.' Do you believe what you wrote or not? Now tell us who those 'other sheep' are when you are so confident as to say, 'I believe Him when He said that'. Since you believe him, now tell...

    Missing from bible

    jaybird, I do wish you would document your statements. As your statement stands here, it is out of your mind, without historical verification. What was done to the Cathari in the 11th-13th centuries in the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church was terrible. However, as this article indicates...

    Thank you. That confirms that CyB accepts only 39 OT books and 27 NT books to make up the 66 books of the Bible. The Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha and alleged 'lost books of the Bible' are not included. I thank God that you are maintaining an orthodox view on the canon of Scripture. Oz

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    I'm not suggesting 'a catch all statement'. However a statement like this could be acceptable for the SoF: 'We accept that the canon of Scripture consists of the 66 books of the OT and NT in the current Bible'.

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    I never said a word about the sound of God's voice. I was asking about the books in the canon of Scripture. Does the SoF only include the 66 books of the OT & NT or is it open to the books of the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and the 'lost books of the Bible'? I gave the links to the list of such...

    Oneoff, Where is your divine commission to 'deflate insular bigots' found in Scripture? Please show me. It is not true that you have crossed swords with me 'over many forums and many years'. I have met you once on a small UK forum and I was only there for a short period of time. Please inform...

    Now be specific and tell us to which Christians you are referring when you are referring to Christians who kill others for their wealth. You have a habit of stating in generalities and not documenting what you say.

    Now tell me who the Scriptures state they are, instead of giving this nebulous statement.

    Now deal with the specifics of what I wrote at #237. You are a whiz at avoidance.

    So which Creeds are considered infallible by some? From the evidence you have presented on this forum, you don't accept the infallibility of Scripture in the original documents either.
