I think people get a little tripped up on Moses giving the commandments to Israel, and in the New vs Old covenants. What's right is right. These were all just laws before Moses, in Abraham's day, and remain so in perpetuity.

So many unsupported statements. Sources?

Certainly not. Inspiration is far more important than canonization. Seems like a question of Lingua Franca... depending where you are, they may be the same thing or totally different. Really? Catholics where I live tend to be better educated in their beliefs than Protestants. Perhaps...

This one? Epistle of Barnabas

I'm sure you'll put that fire out eventually

He's trolling you. And perhaps making a point by accusing you of all the same things you're accusing others of.

This is all pretty interesting. DNA stuff usually is. But I don't find it relevant to theology. The New Testament defines Abraham's children as being those who believe like Abraham, and are baptized. A true Father of Nations.

I don't mean which books. I was asking about the qualities that made those books worthy of canonization. The books were recognized as canon for their existing qualities; those qualities were not conferred on them at the date of canonization. Agreed? If you want to have an effective...

I think this is observable/provable from Scripture. Jesus taught the kingdom of God has arrived, but is internal rather than external the unity of God and man baptism for adoption of proselytes under the auspices of the Abrahamic covenant Paul teaches all those same things. He doesn't use...

Hmmm... I can't think of anyone with which I am mad. In my experience, I've found that evangelical churches don't like or trust scholarship. They're suspicious of any person or process that approaches Scripture critically. They instead take the position that we ought to come to Scripture...

You came off as snarky and dismissive. What did I do to deserve that? I think this may be the first time we've ever crossed.

You might need to define canon. Most Protestants think of canon in terms of "known to be reliable/inspired." I know I do

If you go through the gospels and look at where Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry... Jesus was most often found in the areas adjacent to Judea but NOT actually in Judea itself. Galilee, Perea, Trans-Jordan, etc. His forays into Judea proper seem to be only for the purpose of keeping the...

So... you're not married, then? :sweatsmile:

The type is like the anti-type? Checks out.

In language theory, it's called overloading - when a single word takes on multiple meanings. English has 30K+ words. Biblical Hebrew has 8K. Guess which one has 4x as much overloading?

Uh... almost? SR means prince or captain. EL means God. Prefixed Y's modify the word coming after them to make it a verb. Y SR EL = to be a prince of God Gen 32:28 Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God

Israel is God's people. The Jews are 1 tribe out of 12 (or 13 or 14 depending how you count) And, unhinged or no, there have always been fake Israelites. That's a thing, historically.

Yes. So prejudiced that I am in fact an evangelical. clfh

On the other hand, "evangelical scholars" is a bit of an oxymoron.
