I'm a little confused by this... you claimed they DIDN'T talk about this in the OLD Testament, then I agreed, and now you're saying they DID in the NEW Testament... what in contradiction of your previous claim? Are we just disagreeing for the sake of disagreement now? What's going on...

Story time? I was once asked to give a Sunday-night sermon at a church I attended. I gave what I thought was a fairly innocuous lesson out of the epistles to the churches of Asia Minor in the early chapters of Revelation. Afterwards, the pastor was... well, furious... that I had given the...

It really depends what it is. I've bit my tongue through a sermon plenty of times. I've never heard anything from a pulpit yet that was so drastically terrible that it required me to immediately object. Ultimately, talk IS cheap. I left churches twice now because a pastor did bad things and...

Technically... Moses wasn't Jewish. He was from the tribe of Levi

I mean... a lot of 1st century Jews believed in transmigration of souls...

I will. Sure enough - the Old Testament prophets didn't use words that didn't exist yet! They do, however, speak of "the Angel of the LORD" and "The Word of the Lord" and "The Spirit of the Lord." This isn't quite the slam-dunk you make it out to be. And I'm not even a Trinitarian by your...

Mmmm... Psyche is not always Pneuma, though they're related I'll grant. Double-minded is not exactly two-spirited. Psyche is the innate way of a man. Pneuma inhabits a man, but it's external to him in its source. Your grammar is poor here. Both verses may use the same root word, but they...

The Hebrew word translated "prophet" is Nebo/Nebu, which is the proper name of a foreign god. You probably know him (it?) as the Greek Hermes or Latin Mercury

Well, then... perhaps you will address what I said in response to David, about how the New Testament itself does not find the genealogies of Genesis credible. The 2nd half of post #8.

I don't think that's right. Do you have a Biblical basis for that statement? I'm thinking of... Matt 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Well, many don't believe in them. And those who do mostly have a fundamental misunderstanding of what they are/do.

You could take some notes from @David Lamb (post #4 here) who managed to disagree without being disrespectful, while actually citing Scriptures to back his disagreement, and while responding to the person he was disagreeing with. We don't need to agree, but please act like an adult.

I resemble that remark!

I'm aware of the genealogies. Actually, I wrote several paragraphs about how the New Testament regards them as unreliable (post #8 in this topic).

It's literally commandment #2. Don't use the Lord's name in vain - meaning don't speak for God unless He gave you that authority specifically. edit: in case it isn't clear, I'm sure Moses was legit in doing so

I think I disagree. The New Testament's idea of an apostle is exactly the same thing.

I looked at the Hebrew and the King James is a little confusing in its translation. My own rendering of verses 4-6: The LORD has not given you a heart to perceive, or eyes to see, or ears to hear, unto this day. And [He] has led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes haven't grown...

None of them. But there are a few people here who like to say so.

I don't think it's a "new way." It's right there in Genesis 15 where God tells Abraham he'll make him a 'Father of Goyim.' The bolded bit is a good point. The story of Esau underscores it. While clearly a natural son of Abraham, Esau did not inherit as a son because of unbelief. Part of...

In context, that passage is talking about changing the law for the making of priests - that they must be Levites, etc. The idea is that the new priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek, and not Levi.
