Show me which Apostle actually wrote that circumcision (equivalent to Christian Baptism) is to be dispensed with? No one was willing to put his name on that idea, other than +Paul.
That would like someone now saying we don't need to be Baptized!
You keep saying that I reject [sic] 3/4 of the NT (I never rejected anything in the New Testament explicitly or implicitly). Do you not find it strange that two Apostles who did not know Christ personally (+Paul and +Luke) wrote more than those who actually walked with our Lord? I do!
I look at +Paul's writings the same way I look at his statements about women being covered in church, or not allowed to speak/preach. He also says that the head of a woman is man, as Christ is the head of man, and God (Father I suppose) the head of Christ (although this is strangely non-Triniatrian in my opinion).
As for +Paul, explain Rom 2:13 "for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified." Not something the Protestants quote very often as "Pauline" teaching.
In fact, Romans 2:1-6 should be the assigned reading for this morning. Good night and may God bless you all.
Post 6475. Goodnight.
I've read on these threads where it is believed that God exists outside of time. I believe you have agreed with this position. Why then would it require Jesus Christ more than an instant to impart into Paul what he wanted him to do?
