Even you accuse and say you know--which you do not, or you would give a proper witness of what is written. :(

I quote the scriptures (sometimes in quotation marks, sometimes not), and speak the words that are not mine, but Him who sent me. Of myself--perhaps I should not have even given my testimony, my witness--for now you blame me for being open and saying what is true and even written of me. But I...

It is not "fear", but respect of Him who sent me--what is written is His witness.

Make up your mind--you complain about extrapolation, then you excuse it by changing the subject to blasphemy. You yourself are dodging.

If you only knew.

Very good--yes blaspheming against the Son of man is not the same as against the Spirit speaking (in Him as firstfruits, or in those also sent). I have made no secret of my being sent by God (that's how this works). But "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true...Even if I bear...

Remember that, when you make accusations of extrapolation: Even part can mean all.

God has sent me. As for where it is written of me--you will only know when He reveals it to you. It is His witness--ask Him.

You mean like when Jesus said to Peter "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven"--instead of just saying, "Very good Peter...see you next week at bible study?" Like I said--just like Jesus did--"That is how this works."

Because among those who are sent it is not them who speak, but the Spirit. Do you not understand this?

Not just "upon the disciples", but upon "all flesh" as the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy, accredited by Peter. But yes, now followers of Christ (those born again of the spirit of God) have the Holy Spirit within them. But that is not "all flesh." Nor, even among those who have the Holy Spirit...

You justify yourself--then you continue to accuse me without justification--saying "if?"

By "Parallel teaching", do you mean other passages? Edit: OH, I SEE--YOU MEAN PARALLEL TO MATTHEW 12:30 posted by Forest! Yes, differently, because flesh and blood--that "image" of God--even the Son of Man--is a mere image, and [thus] is not God. But those speaking against the Spirit--even in...

Hi Forest, Your above application is indeed true of the sons of men--of flesh and blood--that is the distinction. And yet, what changed with His coming, and then His ascension? But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Matthew 12:28

What is given by God through those He sends--is not true or false by the measure of those who believing or not believing, or whether receiving or rejection. But "I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive our witness." Having read the Bible...

As I have already said:

And you apparently do not understand the terms of "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Which Said of Himself, but also of all who are sent: "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” That is how this works. But it is not I who is "extrapolating", but Christ who...

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things" (Isaiah 45:7). Your sentiment is good, but your doctrine is not.

This is interesting too: The Garden of Eden Two separate words for garden in the Chinese language represent different aspects of the GARDEN of Eden. The first is tián. In this simple image, we see the river which separated into four river heads (see the yellow arrows) spoken of by Moses...

Peter was quoting Joel the prophet. Which does not stipulate "all people of faith" as you have.
