Buh bye...
Ahhh, yes - the standard response of those who have run OUT of ammunition.

If you ever want to discuss Scripture and whether or not it is the inerrant Word of Almigjhty God - let me know . . .
Because YOU have apparently chosen to disobey it . . .


1 Pet. 3:15
" . . but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy,
always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

Yet some people like @JimKnox don't even bother to argue with gentleness and respect but instead resort to hatred and slander. I know they are in the wrong when they resort to that. Refusing to answer questions is also a sign of dishonesty

You start with a fraudulent source (Barnabas) and end with a heretical Catholic (Augustine) and expected me to take you serious?
Be gone little one.
Pfffftt
Hello Jim!

To be fair....... @BreadOfLife started with the earliest historical Christian writings we have (Barnabas) and ended it with a 5th century historical Christian writing (Augustine) we have on the matter. He covered 400+ years of Christian teachings to back up his faith, practice and Church. What BOL articulated has been taught by Christianity for 2000 years.

I scrolled back to read what you provided to back up your beliefs. I can't find anything noteworthy except your opinions and your interpretation of Scripture. Unless I missed something...... :IDK:

With that said; Why should anyone take your opinions and interpretations of Scripture on this matter serious?

Also, I am curious: Who decided that Augustine was a heretic?

Barnabas letters were revered by early Christians and read alongside Scripture in Church. How is Barnabas "fraudulent"? The Christians that lived during the times of the Apostles accepted Barnabas letters, but you reject them. Why?

Why do you object to my opinion by defending the opinion of BoL?
We call that hy po critical.
