I don't believe there are 5 different ways to study Scripture. Could you name them? Stranger

Well, some can say anything. I am asking where is the proof that Jesus quoted from the Septuagint? Where is the proof that there even was a 'Septuagint'? Your last statement sounds very 'spiritual', but what does it have to do with the written Word? Stranger

Howdy, and welcome. Stranger

No, 1John 2:20, 27 says exactly what I believe. Every believer has the Holy Spirit and is therefore able to interpret the Word of God which is inspired by the Spirit of God. Why do you mix 'translation' with 'interpretation'? Do you know the difference? Are you trying to compare your...

Yes, we as Christians are to seek the unity of the faith among the brethren and sistern. And I am not saying to divide for divisions sake. I am saying the things we believe the Scriptures are teaching us will cause us to divide. And, if there is to be a complete unity of all denominations...

kepha31 I showed already a verse that declares Scripture as the final authority. Matt. 4:4, 4:7, 4:10. "It is written" Seemed good enough for Christ. Stranger

Jesus pointed to the Scripture as the Word of God and the final authority when He said 'It is written'. And, how interesting to me that Satan never denied the final authority of Scripture, as many today do. Instead he tried to misuse it against Christ. Once Christ pointed to the written...

First things first. Christ gave authority to the 'written' Word? Didn't He? Did not Christ see the written Word as the final authority? I did say who has the authority to properly interpret. Every believer. Remember? (1John 2:20,27) Let the Scriptures speak. Stranger

I certainly think those laymen need to know the differences in the communion services. Perhaps this unity is the result of the lay peoples ignorance of such things. But there were many other things that did and still do divide Catholic and Protestant. I'm not for unity just for unities...

That's right. Christ told the disciples in Acts 1:7 that it wasn't for them to know the time. He didn't say the kingdom would not be restored to Israel. Those who enter the kingdom after the tribulation period will be the survivors left on earth. And they will be the saved. But they still...

When Christ says 'It is written' doesn't that tell you that He places authority in the written Word. He didn't say 'I'm telling you'. Though He could have. He didn't say 'the Father tells you'. Thuogh He could have. He said, 'It is written'. Stranger

And Jesus said " It is written". Meaning the written Word was final authority. No, David did not have 66 books. But David had Scripture. And wrote Scripture. Do you think David made an idol of the written Word? No, God did not throw down scrolls from Heaven. But He did write on Tables...

Ken Pleased to meet you. Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour, or are you just looking for a change? Do you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God? I'm just interested. Stranger

I believe and know that Scripture is the final authority. I didn't say the council of Jerusalem had final authority. Authority is in the Bible. If I make a mistake in what Scripture is saying, it doesn't change the fact that authority is in the Bible. It just means I need to learn more. I...

No one knows the complete truth at once. It is a learning process. In that process we as believers can make mistakes. But it is still the Scripture that is the authority. If we made a mistake, it was in Scripture. And it is Scripture that is shown us, either through the help of others or the...

I didn't say we have no way of knowing. You did and do. Don't blame it on me. All Scripture is inspired by God. And we have the Scriptures, the 66 books of the Old and New Testament. Nothing wrong with human teachers giving direction. But they are not the final authority. The Bible is...

I didn't give you two interpretations. I gave you one. You ignored it for your own purpose. No, according to you, me and others have no way of knowing who is right. You need to study the Scriptures yourself and decide which church is right. Are you afraid to do that? There is nothing...

As to water salvation, I don't believe it is necessary for one to be 'saved' as to his initial salvation or being born-again. I do believe it is necessary for ones salvation as pertaining to your walk with Christ in this world. In other words there are three aspects of salvation. 1. Saved...

Do Christ's words 'It is written' apply to the Old Testament? If you are not a translator, what good does the original languages do you? You are still trusting anothers translation. Arn't you? And, you are still translationg from copies, not the originals. What now? Who do you...

You check the Scriptures against what is being said. Stranger
