We can certainly interpret scripture by scripture and come up with an interpretation by two scripture passages that is not the same as when we were only looking at one of the two (see 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)).

But the fact that we can come up with a new interpretation dependent on the scripture that is added to the first, does not nullify the plain meaning and interpretation of the first as it exists all on its own.

There is simply a new interpretation added, on top of the interpretation that we have from the first scripture passage all by itself, that is added because we have compared scripture with scripture.
Better yet, do as God says to do. Ask the Author for His Wisdom. (James, et al).
When He Reveals Scripture to His permanent disciples,
He only reveals Truth - nothing contradictory ever.

Only those walking around in the dark don't know where they're going. Light enables vision and hope.....if anything, it makes hope all the more tangible, it sees the goal even though it is 'as through a glass darkly' and strives with all the energy God inspires to win the race set before us.

Your attempt to discredit only reveals the darkness enshrouding you.
You're a riddler, are you? Just say what the heck Healthy Relating means.

Checking the books in Australia, it appears it is the new psycho-babble for professionals to charge outrageous sums for to explain and use in oppressing common people and rich folk, legally politically and socially.

It was difficult to verify though.

DNB....the question is to you. It has not been posted so that I can answer my own question.

[Search domain biblehub.com/1_corinthians/1-23.htm] 1 Corinthians 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
New International Version but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, New Living Translation So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense.

Jesus has always been God, one with the Father, echad, as written.

To the world - nonsense, and they reject Him and have no hope for salvation, unless they repent.

It is very biblical (while I know there is a plethora of arguments against the biblical statements that tell us of His Deity).

Anyhow, Jesus is not God!
You cannot answer a simple question on healthy relating yet you're willing to call Jesus a liar presuming you know better than he does....... hmmmmmm

True, but I think that under the Covenant of Grace, its reception requires faith in Christ. In that, it is a gift and a testimony to the Church. It is the proof of God's promise of redemption to the believer, and a testimony of the power of Christ to the unbeliever. So that I don't believe that you would find a Jew, or any other monotheist with this endowment. It is for the Church only, thus God showing His approval of the Gospel of Christ as the only means towards salvation. He has endorsed no other theology.
I did not know God endorsed "theology". what has God to do with mens things.

I do not agree that this is utter nonsense. Yes, 'how can the omnipresent God be circumscribed in space and time?' a mystery indeed.....and then to submit to death!.....no doubt will be the study of the redeemed for the ceaseless ages of eternity and as Paul so aptly said about our present time here, it is 'as seen through a glass darkly'


hay look a posting of quietthinker equipped with his own version of what the truth is, and Nancy must of forgot to like it.

Will you people start quoting verses in context, for crying out loud!
Get serious, don't compare the wisdom of the suffering Messiah, with that of a god-man, and triune god, idiotic nonsense!

There is a plethora of Biblical statements against his deity, ...and ever so predominantly and fundamentally, is the lack of nomenclature, explicit statements and teachings, doxologies and patriarchal recognition, just for starters.

Lay 'em on us, and see if we can't explain them.

God entirely endorses theology, devises and constructs it, and demands that we abide by it. Why is that peculiar to you? It's just a valid word, just like the word religion, to describe a belief system. God's theological rule #1, Love Him with all one's heart, rule #2 Jesus is Lord of Lord and King of Kings. #3 Love thy neighbour as oneself, #4, ...
