You would have us being fully irresponsible for our own actions as the wicked steward. Your arguments are from the wicked one.

I lent many things to people without desiring them back. If something is lent...then don't expect it back. That is the biblical perspective on lending and on things that are lent.

Mine as well. But I don't seek to conform to what men have tinkered with.

To an irresponsible person...yes.

As a buried talent....far too often.

You are being very selective here. Do you follow the 1 Cor.14 tradition in church meetings...or not.

They wrote down their traditions did they not? You first ignore the tradition because the power isn't there to raise the dead...then you say you obey the bible?

Actually God gives us a sample of His glory....then it is up to us to go to Him in a full surrender. It's like the 10 lepers whom Jesus healed...but only 1 came back to Him. Jesus asked "where are the other 9? Good question. I say yes...but in our case as individuals...it is the sample. As...

Raising the dead? Dave you always speak hypocritically....without using basic logic in your double talking. How can you claim to obey the bible when you claim also that the bible cannot be followed? Try to avoid being religious and dogmatic in your response.

So what has replaced the apostolic tradition?

To a dogmatic...bible verse person...of course. Do you think one needs the Holy Spirit to do verse searches?

Not at all. Look at how Paul says to conduct a meeting of the church in 1 Cor. 14. Who does this? People hardly believe in prophets or prophesy anymore. So then you have abandoned the biblical tradition for what other tradition? (Since most people neither believe in apostles nor follow...

Does it look like I'm trying to be dogmatic? Do you even understand the verses you post? Try engaging the thread with some understanding.

What about this... 2 Thes. 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

But to follow their doctrine.......do you think it is possible? Isn't "biblical" doctrine actually apostolic?

Are you saying that the OPC practice apostolicity?

How is this distinguished from what is practiced today? Or do you see that practice as identical?
