“When they cannot deflect the message, they resort to Ad Hominem attack;”


Let’s go back in time and think logically:

You claimed that the New Testament isn’t scripture, because the Apostles did not believe they were writing scripture.

I posted proof that the Apostles called their own writings scripture, and quoted them alongside the Book of Moses.

You replied that didn’t matter, because there is a Hebrew original source text for the New Testament, for Timothy or 1 Peter, that shows that everywhere you are proved wrong by the scripture is actually a corrupted translation of the original Hebrew. Therefore, in the original Hebrew, the phrase “the scripture,” which identifies their own work, is actually read “Not scripture” in the original Hebrew. (If we think logically about it.)

So I asked you to provide proof.

You asserted that some rabbanical translations from about the 12th or 13th century of the Gospel of Matthew, prove that Matthew in Greek is corrupted (when I had quoted from Peter and the epistle to Timothy), and therefore this disproves that the Apostles believed they were writing for scripture.

So it was at this point that I pointed out the logical flaw of all this, and asked you to provide evidence for your assertions, and to keep on topic.

So, can either of you please stop and think calmly, logically, and provide actual evidence for your various claims? Oh, and actually produce an argument that applies SPECIFICALLY to what you originally disputed?

Thank you very much.

.
Wrong as usual.

I stated that the apostles were too steeped in Torah to claim their writings were “scripture.”

I have always called the NT scripture.
