The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles, the Didache, written in the first century quotes it.

That sounds good to me!

I always use the New King James Version so never noticed that. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

Well, they would be wrong wouldn't they! :)

Dah! I said I consider it canonical and inspired.

Yes, at the time the canon was being ratified, the prophecy it contains was not close to being fulfilled. But when Tischendorf found it, the church was going through many changes. God preserved it for when it was needed.

The Epistle of Barnabas, I believe, is canonical; however, don't know of any of today's Bibles that includes it. Do you?

Which Bible has the Shepherd of Hermas. I looked up the books in the Ethiopic Bible and it wasn't listed, but Enoch was. Which other has Enoch?

LOL No, silly. That's what it says. 23 Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you. 24 Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy: 25 the grace [is] with you all! Amen. ---------- 22 Brethren...

No, Timothy didn't write that for Paul. He wasn't there. He just got out of jail, but they hadn't seen him yet, and it wasn't known if he would arrive shortly, but if so, then Paul (or Barnabas) would go with Timothy to visit the Hebrews. The "large letters" was in the letter to the Galatians.

I don't know much about what Augustine believed, except for his statement, "Love God, then live as you please." On the surface that sounded like "greasy grace." But then I took the time to look it up and read it in context, and was impressed that his beliefs were what the apostles taught. I...

What is also interesting is that many scholars, myself included LOL, believe that Hebrews was written by Barnabas. Both Hebrews and the EoB delve into the meanings behind the Old Testament, and how it relates to the New. And neither letter is signed, whereas Paul signed all of his letters. I...

The promised land was suppose to be a land of milk and honey. In other words an abundant life. John 10:10. But it didn't turn out that way for the children of Israel. They rebelled against God. Jeremiah 5:3 O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have smitten them, But they did not weaken...

Paul answers this question in the same chapter. He doesn't leave us guessing. It is the throne of Grace, vs. 16, with Jesus as our High Priest, and that is now. Granted there are few that find it, thus the diligence/labor. How we enter that rest is first and foremost through repentance of all...

I have. Have you? I see the timing of the "rapture" to be at the second coming. What verses in particular say it is otherwise?

I know!

LOL Those are the verses for the second coming.

It would be wonderful if it were true, but the proof is just not there.

Yes, that is what I thought you meant. I do not see a basis for that anywhere in scripture.

How long before the second coming do you see the rapture?
