I think most people are arrogantly believing nothing in the Bible could possibly have been written for anyone but US...… 2,000+ years off into the future.

The prophets of old, doing God's will, drew crowds. The ranters of today are only pleasing themselves by yelling into empty space.

And I think it will be those who simply follow Jesus and His love, who will not hear "I never knew you." After all, doesn't the Bible say all sorts of people will claiming adherence to one form of law or the other.... to no avail? "Didn't we do this, and didn't we do that?" He even told the...

It was Israel. (More specifically, Jerusalem.)

It was Israel. (More specifically, Jerusalem.)

Amadeus began telling you, way back in posts # 85 and 87... and continuing, that he does not — and never has — needed the miracles and artifacts you seem to need, that you want to keep on saying he also has to need. What more of an answer do you want?

It was good. But, I saw no real path given.

And I believe it was Peter that Paul had to "call out", sometime during the 50's or 60's, for ignoring the Gentile brothers, and catering to the visitors from Jerusalem by going to sit and eat with them. I believe that happened in Antioch (Gal 2:11-13) (Some people really do believe Peter was...

Uh, Paul wrote over half of his letters in the 60's. Chronology of Apostle Paul's Journeys and Epistles

I know you intended to give chapter and verse for that claim, but just forgot.

Peter even said that it was tough to figure out what the things Paul said and wrote meant.

Paul was writing a letter to Timothy, so he was addressing only those Scriptures that existed at the time.... especially since Paul told him to do that until such time as he arrived in his town. Letters the various Apostles wrote were not yet designated "Scripture" at that time.

Amadeus is probably one of the clearest people on this forum.

Copies of all those separate letters finally existed after probably decades. But they did not have stenographers at each church to make copies, nor Postal Service or e-mail to facilitate distribution. Shoot, it took more than three hundred years to finally collect enough to make a book called...

I used to go to a very boring Bible Study where the leader had every one of about 20 men read, in turn. Only about four of us could capably read out loud, and it was total torture to sit and listen to the rest of them butchering the book. I finally just quit going. They probably got nothing...

If Paul wrote a letter to Timothy or one of the church groups in towns hundreds of miles apart, why in the world would we assume anyone else had that letter?

Uh, Jesus only told that one single man, in all the Scriptures, to sell everything. And that was in response to a direct question about what else the man needed to do. He did not tell his disciples that. It certainly wasn't directed to us. In fact, the Bible is loaded with how to manage all...

I don't think I ever saw it written that he beat anyone with a stick... or even actually ever hit anyone with anything. (maybe some cows?)

Matthew 5:48 The Greek and Aramaic words for “perfect” can also mean “whole, complete, fully mature, lacking nothing, all-inclusive, well rounded.” (It is a little nuts to think that verse means we are to be without any flaws.)

You did (mostly) right...…. even though I wouldn't have called Animal Control at all. (I would have simply taken the dog into my house.)
