Once again another great post. Lt’s face it we all probably have read things in the Bible that make us uncomfortable or that we would rather weren’t there - the problem is that people do not want to surrender their own wills to God’s Will. What they fail to appreciate is true submission is freedom!

The epistles were Holy Spirit inspired and can be relied on. Most of the misunderstanding is about the transition from the Old to the New Covenant - it didn’t happen until He died and rose again. His words are always compliant with the Old Covenant and many mistake them as New Covenant provisions.

Great post! I hear so many say that they take pains to do what Jesus said, meaning that they read the red-letter text that were Jesus quoted words and feel they can disregard the black text if it doesn’t suit them. But Scripture is clear that the Bible in the whole, is the Word of God, and every part has its role in teaching, warning and building up the saints, not to mention convicting the lost of their lostness and depravity.

**Third, on many occasions Jesus made it clear that he was commissioning and equipping the Apostles to speak and teach IN HIS NAME.**

We keep saying this. Christ founded his Church on the Apostles.

But Jesus never mentioned homosexuality


homosexuality was forbidden long before the apostles were ever heard of so I fully agree with you on that.

The Apostles were conditioned for three or more years to spread the gospel to the world, and I would guess that is what they all did.

We only have two letters from peter and three short ones from John, plus revelation.

I doubt very much if the letters from John and Peter is even a drop in the bucket of what they actually said and did.

They were not out for fanfare, that is not the type of men Jesus chose, if every thing they said had of been recorded the new testament would no doubt have been twice the size of the old.

My thinking is that they did not want every thing they said recorded because the Gospel of Jesus being recorded is all we need, they worked to get the gospel of Jesus out, not their own.

So with that said I imagine we have a lot to disagree on.

That’s funny. Catholics say the exact same thing about the veracity of Genesis.
