Peter is an apostle and we should expect apostles in Gods True Church isn’t derived from a single verse or even a part of a verse, but the entire Bible. As you know, the Bible from Gen. 1:1 to Revelations 22:21 is a continuum. You can’t leave something out. At no point in the Bible does God have an anarcho-church, one without some formal hierarchy. Even apostate Judah in the New Testament continues to run things using the same pattern God set out at first. The Apostles are called, they replace missing members, etc. All that is evidence that they belong in the Church.
If Peter were to hand you a copy of an epistle with the express intent of reaching the saints in Pontus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontus#Roman_province) or Cappadocia to whom do you deliver Peter’s letter?
Why would it be eisegesis to expect God’s house not to be a house of order? The economy of God is order. Those are what the text says, not my preconceived notion of it. It’s how I learned that the Trinity isn’t Biblical or even a doctrine of Salvation.
No, I didn’t used to post as anybody else.
You were expositing 1 Peter 1:1-2. You paused to form conclusions on the text. You mentioned no other texts to support your conclusion. That's what you were being called on - you jumped to a conclusion unsupported by the immediate text which fit your preconceived notion - which is eisegesis, pure and simple. It wasn't the only example of eisegesis in your exposition, just one of the most obvious.
Why would it be eisegesis to expect Gods house not to be a house of order?
This question is troubling. When you come to God's Word with expectations, you're vulnerable to eisegetical analysis of Scripture. We need to come to God's Word without preconceptions and let Him tell us the truth. We need to remember that God doesn't always work the way that humans do. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
